993 GT2 EVO for sale.

[BmillsSkier]

That looks affordable.

[Bobby Stainless]

Well, at least there are 11 of them.

[basinbeater]

Not the prettiest beast, but man you would be the coolest dude at a track day...

[BmillsSkier]

This is peak Corvette imo. Better interiors than the C5, not too transformer-y like the C7s, fast as shyte, excellent performance on track if you have cooling right.

In law of mine has a somewhat track-setup Z-06 of that vintage. It lost grip doing 45 on an on ramp, dead straight, and torpedoed itself into the jersey wall.

Naturally I say driver error - and insist that they've gotten better with each subsequent generation.

[Bobby Stainless]

You'll be hard pressed to find a better track vehicle, for the money, than a C5 Z06. Great car.

The first manual transmission vehicle I drove was in an L88 427 corvette. hooker headers Holly manifold. That was 50 years ago and I still have not driven a car with such raw power

[east or bust]

I love the C6

[Mazderati]

C6 Z06 is definitely a winner. I used to be mixed on the notchback style of the C5 Z06 but prefer it over the hatch now. They were nearly unstoppable in SCCA SOLO II Super Stock.




And the last years of the C4 ZR1 are bad ass even if the car is a flying phallus.

[BmillsSkier]

Those wheels look sharp on that red one.

Yes they do.

I'm not normally a fan of black wheels but for some reason they look great on Vettes. I'm particularly fond of the new Grand Sport in boy racer blue. Not sure I could ever have the stones to drive it in public though - I'm kind of an understated guy.

All business...

^^ So much cleaner and less gimmicky than the same generation Mustang. I'm not into the Cragar bling thing but certainly wouldn't say no to having one in my driveway.

How about this set up in similar colors?




Was looking at a car today and found this guy in the show room

A) Holy shit, yes. I'd drive that naked. I don't care what the colors make me look like, that's fantastic.

B) What glorious car were you looking at in such a beautiful showroom?

[Art Shirk]

c63 AMG. Never been a Merc guy but I love big naturally aspirated v8s and it doesnt get much better than a hand built 6.2 liter with gobs of torque. I honestly didnt feel as connected as I have with BMWs but holy hell that was probably one of the best stock exhausts I have ever heard. They are also kind of sleeperish and not overly ostentatious.

Fun little vid

[BmillsSkier]

Wow, great looking car, love the wheels too. That's one monster engine too! And like you, I'm not a Merc guy, but that thing looks sweet.

Channel your inner Clarkson.

It really only brought me in the door because of how clean it was, low miles with a single local owner. Records are great. If anyone here has any pros and cons on them I'm all ears. I don't expect it to last long but I left it over night while I mull it over. Already negotiated the price in principle as well as a bumper to bumper for 4 years.

[BmillsSkier]

Wow that's awesome. Does this mean you won't be posting TGR unobtanium V8AudiAvant6mt porn here anymore?

Good luck!

May does ask a good question in that clip though: Do you want a car that wants to kill you?

[Bobby Stainless]

Great car, with an incredible motor. That 6.2 is awesome. I've had it in multiple Mercs. The most recent was a SLS roadster, beast.

These are awesome too.

I was going to sell the Audi but was sent an angel this morning. Went down the street to pick up some of my daughter's friends for Polish class. I had never been there and when I pulled up I saw an RS4, Cayenne Turbo and a Eurovan hiding on the side of the garage. Turns out the father is a German car nut and even has a GT3RS on the way. His father was there and he has been selling German cars for 40 years. Started talking and he told me I'd be an idiot to get rid of a manual S wagon with so few miles and the timing chain already done. I needed to hear that.

Then again, he did call BMWs German Buicks with a few carve outs.

I've thought about this phenomenon in recent years. It's not a question of If, it's a question of When.

1- this dystopia would happen far after any investment return date I or anyone alive would have.

2- as long as rich people like cars, cars will exist

3 - rich people like cars
