Hey RC, i see you driving your car on HWY 6 in houston all the time as I drive from sugar land to Louetta and 249 everyday for work. If possible, i would love to meet up with you on a weekend sometime and get a ride. I think the reason why people are so obsessed with exotics (like myself) is because of what we read.
When reading an article about P or F cars, all they ever talk about is how great it feels, how fast they are, and how effortlessly they go around corners. as the proud owner of a A4 with quattro, ive become a cornering nut! i dont give a fuck about how fast a car is in a straight-line, if it cant take a corner like a true exotic should. Im not saying that all exotics handle the same, but i think people would have more respect for the Z06 if it went aorund a corner like a 911 turbo or F430. We all know most exotics have shit for quality, so theres no point in talking about how chevys cant build reliable cars, but because all i know about the c6 Z06 is what i read, i just feel like its missing the "feel" that you always read about for lambos and ferraris.
for a car with 500 hp and 0-60's in the upper 3's, you would think they would fuck with the handling a little bit. i agree with you 100% that if you cant afford a super exotic, but u still want a fast car, theres no fucking point in dreaming about a ferrari while driving a camry. but you also have to remember that if you driving a camry, you prolly cant afford the up-keep of a car like a z06. whereas the owners of a ferrari could give a shit less how many times they're gonna have to take it in to the shop for some bullshit.
back to the original question tho, could i please get a ride in your car (i'll let you take my A4 for a spin

) i even prefer you driving it while i ride passenger so you can show me what it can really do.
