My next cars =)

I love your sig. Such nice boobies.

Sweet fuckin Vette...nice

Damn that c6 has 1000hp!

testing

ignore...

Hot ride for sure.

Sweet Ride.

nice rides :thumbsup

I dont agree

Prove me wrong then.

Too bad it's a Corvette :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It will also cost you ungodly amounts to service one

Looks pretty darn hot too.

Eva and I have just bought new cars.

I looked at the Saabs, Audis, Mercs and more of the more expensive cars Even thought about buying a Jaguar, which was nice and the only one I seriously considered.

But in the end it's only a car to go from A to B. Ended up with a Ford.

Just can't justify spending $50,000 on transport.

why>>>???

Trappin a buck 49 on 1Kwhp? Hmm... not bad, but I'd expect a lot more out of that thing with that much displacement and 67mm turbos. 1200whp at least. Probably tuned for longevity though. And "streetable" and "methanol" don't mix hahah. Looks like a pretty nice car though.

have you ever seen service bills on high end cars? all of them are ungodly.

No matter how fast it is, it's a Corvette - which are a dime a dozen.

for about 15K i think a box stock kawasaki zx-14 would smoke that.

I know that feeling. I can not see a reason to buy a car like that to have some asshole key in a parking lot, or some uninsured idiot to slam into it. Just not worth it.

get this instead

edit: watch the video

it said they only took it to the track once. I'm sure it wasn't set up properly for drag racing. that should be at least a 9 second, maybe an 8 second ride.

holy shit!!!!!

I wonder if those are street legal in the US

DAMN, I want one :)

it looks really nice :)

those things are insane

their hot

You got to be shitting me.......

its not under $83.000 here (thanks to our stupid tax and its shitty 7 liter engine) so...you are wrong...

btw you do understand a car is alot more than going for a to b rigth?

The thing is for most people that buy $50.000 and higher cars its alot more than just a "transport"...its a passion and an hobby :)

Edit: Just noticed this is the Z06 tunned rather than the 2006 Z06...so in other words: quite a crappy car you have there...

I should had know it wasn't stock (coming from you)...

When I still lived in London, I resented owning any car, since I only drove at weekends and that only occasionally. The solution was to buy a "classic" which - depending on what you buy - offers several ways to save money: no road tax on anything more than 25 years old (it was then, now it's pre-1973 I believe); lots of insurance companies will give you full cover on cars over 15 years old for as little as 75 stirling a year (so long as you can live with a 5,000 mile per year cap); and if you buy carefully, little or no depreciation, often a profit.

When I was younger, a real classic (read vintage) involved a lot of cash and hassles over reliability and maintenance. But since you mentioned Jaguar, at least until 10 years ago you could find low-mileage, as-new series2 XJ6/12s (my favorite ride) for 8K-12K. Come to that, RR Shadows were only around 15K then. In other words, nowadays you can buy quite a lot of really nice more-or-less "modern" rides without a major cash layout or special ownership problems.

Otherwise I would agree about Fords. I have owned a Zodiac, a couple of Granadas and a Scorpio (a great shame they screwed themselves with that "frog-eyed" design and dropped out of that end of the market). One of the cars I wish I had kept was a supercharged RS Capri which could see off a 911 Turbo without any effort at all, and I had all the XR range at one time or another :)

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Mr. Romance

nice cars

As a bit of trivia, my company used to provide the transport for Frank Sinatra and his guests whenever he was doing shows in the UK and Europe. His entourage got to ride around in Daimler limos, but Sinatra always insisted on an XJ6 for himself. It had to be new and always in British Racing Green :)

I'll make few more sales this week and it wil be mine :1orglaugh

On a straight line it would indeed go faster than a lot of cars. Put it on a track with corners and shit, this thing will be owned by low end supercars very easily. This car has leaf suspensions for crying out loud:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I love the Honda engine in it as well:) Fast as hell. But then again, not a 'normal' car. More a toy.

read up on the new Z06. it outperforms most modern supercars in those respects as well. the only title the exotics can hold over it now is price.

good luck finding someone who paid $100k+ more for a different car to admit that this is a better performance machine though :1orglaugh

but they are ugly

The 1-and-change sideways G that the Z06 can handle is indeed impressive. Not up to the 1.5 of the Lotus Exige maybe, but pretty good :)

Damn that Atom looks like fun. That video also reminds me how much I miss seeing "Top Gear" every week. BTW Caterham's CSR manages 60mph in 3.1 seconds and 1.25G cornering: pretty good stats and a lot fewer bugs in the teeth than with the Atom. A shame it's only available as a kit car in the US and an expensive one at that.

should've gotten the SAAB, Jaguars are only bought in pairs, you need the second one for spares

the real insight in to corvettes is the fact that the corvette is a 'mass produced factory' car, not a 'hand made exotic' and an everyday driver too . . I have a stock c5 and that car hauls ass from 0-130 which is the most I'll go around LA . . . at a light, when the light turns green I can doing the speed limit by the time I'm through the intersection with out and drama at all . . just a smooth fast acceleration, no burning rubber, nothing but . . . whoa . . . I'm gone . . . And the vette is a low-end monster, generally shifts about 2K on the tach . . At 2.5K I'm going 95 mph and the damn car doesn't even really get excited until about 3.5-4K . . . And I didn't have to spend 200K . . Only about 45K

nice cars. :)

I wouldn't say out perform, but I'm sure its insanely good. The only problem is that it's too common.

Ferrari could drop prices on a 430 to $100K if they wanted, but then the brand would be ruined and everyone would have one.

Rolex could do the same, but then it wouldn't be so luxurious.

If GM made the interior nicer, they could jack the price of that thing 70K and it would be considered a true exotic.

Because these things will never happen, the z06 will never even be in the same market as the true exotics. No one will ever be deciding between a z06 and a Ferrari/Lambo/whatever.

Post was kind of off topic, but I just felt like ranting. Btw, z06 is uglier :2 cents:

Faster than a viper, how can that be?

good for yoouuu

and mustangs aren't? :pimp

I wouldnt count on it. a 1000hp corvette has about .24 horsepower per pound, while the motorcycle has .45 horses per pound. add a 200 lb rider/driver and those numbers become .25 and .29 respectively. that means there is a bit of a horse power advantage for the bike...however, turbo powered cars have incredibly flat torque curves with high amounts of torque.

This would probably be a close race, but with proper tuning, the corvette could probably add 100+ more horses and a lot more torque. of course, that's just my :2 cents:

You're absolutely right, but for most people the reason they would choose the exotic over the vette is the same reason a wealthy lady would overpay for a handbag. Prestige rather than personal satisfaction.

Not to say that there aren't people who have held a genuine interest in the brand as a 'dream car' for many years and would like to see their dreams fulfilled - and for these type of cars there are no doubt many that fit that category.

The Ferrari definitely has more style than a Z06 IMO. Lambo's look like little wedge shaped doorstops to me (I like the Countach and more vintage models). It's all a matter of personal preferance though. Porsche purists are probably ridiculing the Cayman, though personally I like it's styling over that of 911's.
