thx 4 the replys guys.. yeah a vette would be just sick... but im kinda into the import thing right now... if i could get a z06 that would be awesome though... they are very pricey... but pretty much will kill most cars out on the road...

And i know that i shouldnt decide on my next cars based on the replys i get here but its always nice to have some other options that i didnt think of..

Thanks

Travis

dont get discouraged, I found a black c5 z today for 40K with 30K miles.. that w as overpriced I thought and realistically you can get that car for 32 at the most! also there are guys on the elise board selling low mileage cars for mid 30s

only 7500 on this.. limited edition z06 for $38,000!

Best advice yet. If I had the money b4 I hopped on my evo I would of bought one of these...If you decide to get a c5 z06 stay away from the 2001's, they had an oil problem(cant remember what it was... look on the forums) and they didnt make 400hp like the 2002+. Sweet car!

this will get girls wet... plus its the only car mentioned thats a performance upgrade over an evo on a stock turbo.

Hot pebble beach girls who live off their parents dime.. im not talking about the boring norcal city type that most likely has a career in accounting or teaching and thinks basket weaving or pottery is fun way to enjoy the weekend. Bad girls like bad cars.

Interesting, so what kinds of girls do Evo owners pick up?

Must you live in SoCal to take advantage of this Corvette-owning perk?

lol I dont have time to go into detail but here are some quick facts which I would base the argument on.. and clearly im not trying to sound racist in anyway so I hope no one would think that.. but its pretty much fact..

The bay area is mostly asian.. many asians are brought up to hate american products. If your looking to pick up asian girls, dont buy an american car because its not going to work, but don't confuse the crazy demographics of the bay area with the rest of the united states.

Contrary to popular belief, there are white girls in northern california. White girls dont like asian products, they dont get into all the technical specs and the awd, they just know.. its an asian car, their father wouldnt approve, and hence "it must be rice". To date, I have met one white girl ever who knew anything about what the evo.. and most thought it was just a honda with a wing.

This all has to do with the cultures females grow up too... most women find men like their own fathers most attractive.. Forbes magazine just named the corvette the sexiest car to own if your a divorced father. Put two and two together...

The most attractive self confident females want to be seen and heard.. riding around in a loud corvette with the top off, getting plenty of envious stares is exactly the sort of thing they want to do on a friday night to justify that 2 hours they spent getting ready. Now a less attractive, rather bland looking female that doesnt want to stick out or be seen would probably enjoy a boyfriend riding around in a stock bmw 3 seires with tinted windows.

When It comes to flashly cars girls dont care about car specs...they general like what their father raised them to like, or the opposite if they grew up to hate him.
