The C6 is looking very nice... hopefully GM improves the interior a bit over the C5. I know they'll get the performance part.


People seem to forget that when comparing to S2000s...

 

I traded a 2002 Z06 for my Evo. I don't regret it one bit.

It was fun but a summer car only, where I live anyways. I wanted something I can drive year round, fun, and fast. I got that.

 

Ooooooooooppppppsssssss!

I have to recall my c6 statement, after seeing a good preview of what it will look like in the new Road and Track,, I think it is Ugly!

The side vents are Huge, and the rear window is all glass, it is teardrop shaped all the way down, and the headlights look like ***. This of course is a very close drawing to what it will look like, but next month every car mag will have one to test, we will see then, but til know I think my verdict is not good. But then again seeing a car in person can change your mind really fast.

30 days will tell.

 

the c6 is obviously the faster car ( I dont know why we are comparing apples to oranges anyway ) but if I had my choice I'd pick the c6 then sell it and buy an evo then spend the rest in mods or pay some bills. the 2 seater wouldnt be a great daily driver. You cant squeeze a baby seat in that!!

 

Hey what are you paying now for the rally red?

As for the above statement about NSX'x be true sports cars and flame me all you want...

They are crap, they are way under powered, they dont handle well, read any professional review weekend warriors love it real drivers dont.

It costs way too much for a honda buy a porsche save your money.

oh yeah and those first gen NSX's that you can get for under 30k now are slower than WRX's o-60

10g's more than a porsche of the day, slower than a porsche made in 1984 (930turbo) where do i sign up?

sorry end of NSX rant.

but i'd roll the vette for what i think it will be at 40k especially when chevy gives you 5 g's off and 0% after its been on the market 12months

 

As soon as I'm out of college!

Forget Skyline or Supra...
I don't want none of that hoopla.
Give me a vette!
Something to snap your neck!

 

amen!
