Ferrari, Lamborghini, Viper, or Z06???
Ok guys... got new thread for ya...
I am kicking around the idea of getting a sports car. I have always wanted a 360 modena coupe (but now LOVE, but cant afford the F430). The Gallardo is totally pimp and unique and I love the funky orange or lime green colors! The Viper was a less expensive option, but as of late.. has started to fade in my desires.
NOW... the Z06 is kicking the ass of ALL of them and is the over all best car for the money... BUT it has no prestige any longer due to the look damn near identicall to the normal vettes that are buzzing around all over my town.
If Im going to spend big bucks on a car.. I dont want to have what everyone else has.
Here are some factors:
Depreciation
OVER MSRP prices
Shock value
Maintanance
Performance
OH... one more thing... all of the cars would be NEAR new except for the Z06. The Lamborghini would be a 2003 and the 360 Modena would be 2000-2002
Lamborghini - 125,000 - 145,000
Ferrari - 105,000 - 125,000
Viper - 65,000-70,000
Vette 75,000 (ten over sticker)
Any Input??

are you looking for shock value? a ferrari would turn major heads.
if you want something fast/cheap get the z06 and add a few mods to it.

You could go with the Z06 and save a lot of cash but you will not get the prestige factor of owning a lambo or a ferrari. I peronally would go with the ferrari. It doesnt scream out raw horse power as the american muscle cars do but it has more. It also comes with rarity and elegance the other cars dont.(lambos are rare to but not as elegant in my opinion)

Only think about the lambo is that the gallardo does not have the suicide doors... I cant afford the mercialago which is over 200k
NSX needs to prove itself first. Not changing a damn thing for 10+ years is just down right disrespectful in my book. A car with less than 350 hp for 80k?!!!! Crazy. I know they will have like 400, but ... they are out for now.

Chest.. its an easy choice at first... but then you look at the money aspect. There is such a HUGE differance in the prestige catagory. Resale would be fantastic on the upper end though if I buy them right.......
hmmmm

hmm lambos turn heads as do ferrari's..between those too id have to say lamborgini. as for money you could get the z06 and dump like 10-15 grand in it and be a fvcking sick car!!! and still be almost half as expensive..also remember your car insurance on those imports along with maintenance!
if you have the money to spend get the lamborgini and after some time and put suicide doors on it.
idk its a hard decision..i like fast and sharp a hookedup zo6 or viper is always a cheaper alternative..but then you get to the badboy lamborgini witch stock turns head idk! lol
ps if you get the zo6 or viper buy me 1 too being you were thinknig about the lambo

I had a 2001 and after 9-11, they dropped the price 8-10k and brought out 0% interest. My car (in my mind) went from Pimp... to nothing special after that and I have had a hard time thinking of buying another vette until the new z06

yea... and they have every right to do so now that Chevy has made such a fine car with a crazy price (low)
Now my problem is this: there is a huge gap now in the sports car arena if you want something that prestigous. Vettes used to be that way and the vipers were the middle range cars to have (between the ferrari's and lambos)
Now that the vette kicks the shit out of the viper.... we lost our only middle of the road "high end" sports car.

Get the Ford GT40 or the Lotus Elise... GT40 is fast and will turn heads. Just last month I saw an older model at a Wawa and it sure got my attention, specially when he turned it on. The Lotus.. well that will only turn heads. Sure it only has 190 horsepower, but it only weights 1890 pounds. So power per pounds its fast.

It does kinda suck that everybody runs and buys a vette but the 06 Z06 is a whole new car!! 1/4 mile n 11.7!!! Faster than any ferrari or lambo! That will make u stain ur pants!! Put $10,000 nto it and u wont be able to c how fast it is!! Ive never liked vettes untill this year!! Its my choice!

My buddy has a GT40... it is FAST, but the ride is HORRIBLE!!! I can barely handle a 20min ride in it. HORRIBLE!!! (its like a go-cart with no shocks) The looks are not in my taste either. I dont like retro ANYTHING
The Lotus is a no go either.

Get a viper. That's around 80 thousand and still has some class to it and fast as hell. Damn you must be banking cuz. Book sales going well I see!
Really no point in spending over 100 thousand for a car unless your a millionaire. Otherwise I would stick with a car under 100 thousand. I would personally get the M3. That car is fukin sweet!Last edited by Smak; 01-16-2006 at 11:10 PM.

Vette... SHUT IT! hahahaha.... It is true about the ferrari, but PRICE is a factor.
Where the hell did the sports cars go that not everyone had but was ALMOST affordible?????
Hell... I guess my point is this: If the z06 looked just a LITTLE different for gods sake... I would be on it in a heart beat

one thing to think about though.. the Ferrari and the lambo will hold their value MUCH better than any of the other two cars.... so.. you pay more up front, but may not spend as much as the others in 2-3 years!
