Well, wife and kids left......so I just bought a Vette!

[JohnnyVegas]

Lol if I had porch money I wouldn't get a 911 I'd get a gtr or r8... Porches are nice but there more for cruising.. And showing you have money to spend and lol if you have a vett to I'm pretty sure my wrx would win Ilol awd vs rwd

I would get a Porsche (I own one, actually) over a GTR and day. I have friends with GTRs, and while they are incredibly fast around a track, they just don't feel like a grown up car. But an R8? Hell yeah, in a heart beat. Beautiful cars.

I know, it's kind of crazy how that works. My wife's Lexus is actually has a higher rate than my Corvette.

Maybe it has to do with the high miles people put on Lexus, or the amount of thefts? Very interesting. I am constantly surprised at the insurance voodoo pricing.

the reason people buy nice car's when there older is they can afford it. I'm sure if you could afford a vette at 20 every 20 yo would have one. That is why most guy's who have vette's are older. It's just how it goes. Having a vette at 40 is good. I don't consider 40 old at all.

Most nice, or specialized, cars are owned by older guys for the reason you mentioned...they are in their peak earning years and can get what they want.

Hilarious you think your wrx could beat a vet. Yours may hang with one till about 50. And think that some young guys forget is a muscle car or big motor one, gets faster past 100 mph not slower. I do like the wrx they are fun to drive and handle well.

Yeah, but drag racing is boring.

True jv...I was just thinking randomly cruising on a fri night and seeing a teenager roll up in a wrx wanting to hit it up!

Here is how old I am: I don't race anyone, ever.

I did do a freeway pull against a Corvette a couple of months ago though. That was fun. Easier...less shifting.

Sick car man. I love sti's and evo's but I'd take a vette over either of them any day. Get on some tren and go hit the town, the ladies will flock to you. Only downside is you can only fit one in your car so choose wisely.

[< <Samson> >]

Go get em'. . . . .

You pick up girls like that in minivans

[big88sub]

Nice car but those tires got to go man they look like ****ing all seasons from the side. It probably came in with bald tires at the dealership and they want to make.as much money as possible so are not going to pony up the doe for proper performance tire on a vet. Of coarse only a car guy would notice that and nobody else will notice while the car is moving. A higher performance tire typically will last longer corner better stop and grip better too. Just my opinion.

[big88sub]

I used to get girls like that on a bicycle.

[Vettester]

Big88 brings up a good point about tires ... If you're looking to get some new tires, take a look at the KDW 2 G force. Great gripping, quiet, and they look awesome on the Corvettes!

[Vettester]

or date smaller women, then you can get 3 in it with you..

think about it..

2 will definitely fit in the front seat, and if anything the 3rd and a 4th if needed will fit in the trunk. I believe it's 20 cubic feet in the back. I know it fits 2 sets of golf clubs and a couple small travel bags.

[big88sub]

Vetteman I was going to.say the same.thing

[alexISthrowed]

Throw the grenades in the trunk

Big ballers, what do you all do?

I was happy as shit to get my generics. These things cost a small fortune.

I actually got a neighbor who owns a tire shop...yes tires are my vet are expensive but worth it..

[< <Samson> >]

I didn't even get mine staggered, it costs more $ & can't rotate em'.

[big88sub]

You will have that when you have two different rim and tire sizes. If you caugh up a little more doe for a better tire chances are they will last longer as long as you don't.smoke em all the time and don't buy directional tires because if you do you can't even rotate them side to side.

I burned these 2x, just about all the nice large tires are uni-directional.

I believe those were the original ones that came with my package (Z51), which were the F1 run flats. Hoping something improved, because those were crap tires right out of the gate. After 2,000 miles the tires would start spinning by barely putting any throttle into it. Seriously, I probably would have lost a street contest to a Yugo with those things. I scrapped them early on and went with the KDW's, never looked back! The Michelin Sports are probably the only other tires I would consider for mine.

[Vettester]

Sheep herding

[big88sub]

**** I just wrote out a paragraph on directional tires and its all gone what the.****. my Maine point was they have their place and they aren't your only option and it is worth the time on trying to find tire that are not directional so you can make them last thousands of miles longer. That would only be a couple months for.me but still

[abstetic]

First Test tonight.

Mission: TO GET LAID

I will let you all know how I made out

Good luck brah..! Get it in...

[abstetic]

[big88sub]

I'm not sure what model BMW it was but this guy comes in and says his car has a shake in it at around 65 after he got his new tire. So it being an almost brand new car my boss tells me to take it out for test drive. I get out to this monster and its this big sexy looking car and has a v-12 emblem on the side. You can just imagine where this is going. To make this story short and no orient wreck it this ****ing cars traction control would stop engaging until it hit 5th gear and that was around 100 mph. It was ****ing insane. Not sure how fast it went or how fast I got it going bit the road got short and seemed to narrow in a hurry and that was the last time I looked at the Trac control or the speedometer. Dint want to wreck it.

[t-gunz]

wow love the vette man.

i had 350z track and 400hp wrx but love the vette.

in oz the vette is stupidly priced

what are they worth over there mate?

[Coolhand5599]

As some of you know......I just got divorced.....well legally seperated......and my wife and kids moved 800 miles away back to PA. So I did what any 40 year old, seperated, going through a mid-life crisis, meathead would do.....I bought a Vette!!!

If she ever finds out (I guess I should say WHEN she finds out)......she is going to be PISSED!

You should of bought mine 2011 gs supercharged with 700 hp . I am thinking of selling. Anyway congrats about the vette sorry about the wife and kids

I always been a 1/4 mile guy. I can care less about road course and the like.

When I juiced my last car, it would launch like no other. . . . Every time I build a car it comes out being only good for straight runs.

I guess to each is own, but nothing beats hitting a Buck 50+ by the end of a quarter mile strip.

[abstetic]

What your car got in it?

i had a 10 sec supercharged mustang. I would still take my old amg benz over it anyday

[Times Roman]

You pick up girls like that in minivans

yeah, but what do you do with all the school lunch bboxes that pile up in the back?

[Times Roman]

i had a 10 sec supercharged mustang. I would still take my old amg benz over it anyday

my second m/c was a ten second machine. back in '79

there was no one in the entire city of Hayward that couuld touch me

[gixxerboy1]

10 sec harley in 79 would be very fast, damn

[< <Samson> >]

What your car got in it?

I never got to 150 at the end of a 1/4 mile strip. Got within 10 miles or so. I am pretty sure I can get there if I wanted to juice my car, but after my last car I don't want to get to crazy. I have no money to buy new shit all the time any more.

Seen it plenty of times and it seems like a hell of a run.

But, it does not look fully crazy until you see guys at 180 at the end.

[gixxerboy1]

i dont know what else you have done to your camaro but it will take more then spray to get you to 150mph trap speed

[< <Samson> >]

About another 5k will do it, 10k if I want it to last more than 5 runs.
The last 2k I spent was just on suspension work, these things aren't the most stable stock.

It's all about $, my last car I just wasted $ upon money because I thought it was a cool thing to do. That car called for 2 of my credit cards being maxed so I could just do it.

My Camaro is a plenty fast for me now. If I get a real job someday it's a different story.
