Hey RC, looking to change ur rear tires anytime soon :mrgreen:
For one second in the video I thought u gonna do a J-turn for us...damn was I disappointed LOL! neways, awesome sound......the idle sound like a 70s muscle car......damn sweet. Now all I need to do is fork out 10k for insurance and I can get my very own Z06 :?

I am figuring if I can't go light on the loud pedal then doesn't matter what tyres I put uot back they will melt away... ;)

So I want to try keep to a set a season like I always have. I seem to get about 10,000 miels to a set of GY F1 SC's... I could use up a set of softer tyres in a weekend probably hehe

I was going to do just a little burnout, and the it got going and I thought abouttrying to kick it around but I was going a little faster than anticipated - so I just trid to get it to grip and try goign forward again.. ;)

Mindful that it's real easy to end up in a ditch... hehe

10K a year for insurance in Kanukland? Holeeeee shiznit!

I know there are some muscle car fans here - so I am just spreading the high-octane 100dB love... :P

5vz-fe 12-13-2005 02:06 AM

I am quite surprise actually, 10k miles sound pretty descent considering all that power and ur occasionaly heavy right foot ;)

Yeah...got into a little fender bender 2 years ago during a snow storm (remember I post earlier I didnt use snow tires lol)...oh well, that help alittle. But even without that little thingy it will still cost 7~8k a year. Toronto is not the easiest place to own a fast car.

RC45 12-13-2005 02:19 AM

$2200 a year for me.. that's both cars ;)

Yeah - the Z06 is really the best allround sports car for me.

Cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to run, cheap to mod - and goes like stink.

The overall cost of ownership of Viper, Porker, Beemer, Benz etc is just way more than I am willing to spend for my 4 wheeled thrills.

5vz-fe 12-13-2005 02:34 AM

2200??!! :shock: :shock: :shock: u have no idea how far my jaw has dropped....

No kidding......if I had ur rate, believe me I am sleeping infront of a chevy dealer rite now. (will prolly go for a second hand one tho.....just can't justify the new car depreciation ..u know what i mean :wink: )

nthfinity 12-13-2005 02:56 AM

2200 sounsd about right... my rate is coming down seriously in less then 1 year now... so when i turn 24; and finances willing... something like a Z is heading my way... but, i always have a soft spot in my heart for the 911... :wink: my rate for my jeep at 23 is less then 1700$ full coverage... 1 more year... (with my current insurance agent) 8)

i could 'hear' your clutch in/out action in those takeoffs :)

Yablokov 12-13-2005 03:11 AM

Yeah - 1100 per year for the Z and 1100 per year for the Contour.. go figure. ;)

Well - I prefer not to post it for the entire world to get through a free website. JW is about the closest I can get to "controlled" release ;) hehe

BTW, seems that you almost lost the car in the second burnout!! :wink:

The "second burnout" is really the same as the "first" just from a different angle... ;)

I had all the electronic nannies turned off there - normally I keep ActiveHandling on.. which tries very hard to prevent thos situtions.. but with no electronic interventin the tyres just melt away and you try point it where you want to go :) hehe

You're always on the edge... so you leave it till you think you can steer out of it... then when you see God you let off the gas regain grip, straighten and go ;)

I am always mindful that the next silly activity could so easily throw me into a ditch.. :P

geez you Yanks get ripped off!!! :shock:

Your paying $1700 USD a year for a Jeep? I pay about half that for the WRX, and I'm the same age and its considered a "risky" car.

EDIT

------------------

That thing sounds brutal!!!! :twisted: Nice launches too, I can't quite create that much smoke.... :oops: :P
