ford gt, looks and performance (other then straight lines) wins in my book, at least in the domestic market

My father had an 04 Z06... The weight balance was perfect and it cornered better than any other car I'd ever driven... and I've driven my share of well handling cars.

not saying that it isn't up with the super cars.. shit, at that price it might as well be a super car. my point is that i would rather spend less money on a car that was just as quick, while still maintaining some form of functionality. for that matter, i wouldn't buy an exotic super car either..

ok i agree that you can do that no doubt about it you can do some sick stuff if you know what your doing, but most people who buy a $100K+ car don't car to do it themselfs. but thats where they lose. And i don't suggest putting 50 grand in performance mods into some grocery getter or car designed to move people. four doors would be nice though but the line can be pushed. Not a fan of the "pimped out" 80's civic wagons.

as for civics.. no thanks. sure, they can be pretty damn fast, but it requires a shitload of work and even more money.. not to mention that in the end it's still only fwd.. on a nice road course, i'd take awd any day.
but funny coincidence.. around my old place in bellingham, there's an old civic wagon (wanna say it's an 86?) with a turbo'd d series.. thing used to make me laugh myself retarded when it would drive by my work and i'd hear the bov.

you buy a Vette (or any other 2 seater) as a SECOND car... no one on the planet should consider it as their primary vehicle unless they're single, friendless and live in a moderate climate year-round.
I'm looking for a RWD sports car myself, a 350Z is no better in the snow or carrying people then a vette is, but I also don't have delusions that it should be those things either... that's what my pickup is for.

And yea if you drive a vette in the snow you might aswell kill your self before u go out cause that way you'll save the car.

this guy tries to show off and gives her a little too much gas.. goes sideways and won't stop sliding, until it hits a pole. now his rear quarter is fucked, fiberglass cracked, and a big piece hanging off. we slide by laughin our asses off at him for wrecking his shit. he gets pissed and guns it again, like a dumbass.. again the car gets lost in the momentum and gets carried along until it smashes into a planter box (like big, concrete block thing with small trees growing in it).. now the passenger front corner is done for. with this hit, the hanging piece of the rear quarter falls off. as the guy is sitting there cussing his ass off, my buddy grabs the piece and walks over to the guy..
"hey man.. i think you lost this back there"
guy gets pissed, snatches the piece and throws it into the car.. we start laughin our asses off again and start calling our friends to come over and see this shit. in the meantime, he's mad as ever and tries to leave.. unfortunately for him, he managed to drift over into a nice little patch of nastiness and his car won't move. does he accept this? hell no.. just keeps gunning the gas.. ends up doing even more damage to his front corner. after aboiut 2-3 minutes of getting nowhere, he says screw it and leaves the thing.. he walked home and didn't come back for the car until most of the snow had melted, which was like 4 days later.
