2009 Vette ZR1 with 638HP. It'll outrun the Z06. MSRP to be 'around' 100K

Yeah, but when it is all said and done, you will still have a car that to most people still looks like every other Corvette from the past decade or so. They are great machines and very well made, but almost "too" common...

If I could afford it, here is my dream vehicle. I drove something similar quite a few years ago but as you'll see the price is a little much; and that's in American dollars \:\) . Pretty cool though!

That's amazing. Very cool indeed.

I think you'd fit in my trunk rather well.

Okay, so it's not as scary when you know I don't have a car.


Actually that makes it even MORE scary!

Unless he's an elephant ...

Oops Typo, I did mean the WRX. The turbo lag can be fixed, improved even, with a quick chip swap. I agree though, the last few years don't look nearly as nice. Too plain. I like a sleeper car concept but they did tone it down a bit too much.

A Miata is my least favorite looking of the currently popular sports car. I know it's a great running vehicle but I'm not digging the look at all.

If I were be retardedly rich and assuming I live somewhere other than P.E.I. where the paved roads are as bumpy and full of holes the lunar surface, I've always had a soft spot for the look of a Ferarri. Ya it's almost boringly, stereotypical now but I always loved the visual lines they come up with in their designs. An Enzo would do nicely.

Sounds like Calgary's roads as well.

All of North America it seems.

I refer to our road craters as "looking like the streets of Beirut."

You guys need to move south - without snow to wreck our roads, and excepting a few, like I-95, the roads I've driven in Georgia and Virginia are A-OK.

Yep, it's the water and subsequent freezing that pops the asphalt. Any place that sees lots of the melting/freezing cycle gets to look forward to many of potholes and with our runs of warm and then cold during winter, our roads are always in a state of disrepair.
