(the few Porkers that have come out were close but no cigar - and here I am a conservative slow driver - imagine if I actualy knew what I was doing...) What? Me? Worry? I just find it quite amusing how no one has ever backed up their statements about the archaic pushrod V8 At least they don't come with cheesy stick-on bodykits... I mean the way they attacked this poor Lambo I can only imagine what would happen if the Z was 100hp weaker, 40mph slower and had a great big heavy addd on body kit..

"...this poor Lambo" More like the idiot who put the ugly body kit on the car.

I'm sure you would like to have a similar body kit on your vette RC45, wouldn’t you!

..Oh, and don't worry, I won't call you a pussy Corvette hater if you do hate it.

Why does a car have to be upwards of 100,000 smackers to be glorified, reveled upon and drooled over? Fact is, the Corvette is a diamond in the rough. It is one of the few cars that doesn't require 10 grand in mods to scare the living fuck out of any Ferrari, Porsche or Lambo. Give me 5 grand and the engine itself will out muscle those posers. Naturally aspirated. Another 2 and the gearing will devour any track. I would like a serious answer to these questions. And no, "it's a plastic GM product" is NOT a serious answer. It's about as valid an answer as a woman's "because i said so" response when she's backed into a corner :roll: First of all, don't believe RC45, he makes it sound like everybody here hates corvettes Second: The discussion in this topic is not about people hating corvettes, so you got the wrong one buddy. Third of all, I think the new Z06 Corvette is an excellent car for money. Hell, who wouldn’t want a supercar performance for 60k! (although I do prefer the design of the C5 over the C6) If I had the money I would definitely buy the new vette.

anytime the vette gets brought up, there are always people who come out of the woodwork against it.

anyway, in all regards to the countach: For it's time, it was a breathtaking car. One way or another. But nowadays, it's limitations are painful, it's upkeep is dreadfully expensive and it's current value resembles nothing of what the icon it once was. The body kit shown is ricey even by todays standards, but money can't buy everything and on that list, taste is included.

It's lines however, are still echoed in their cars. Though not as sharply or blatantly futuristic as done in the countach, they are still fairly aggresive, but not menacing.

While i'm not sure if i would ever turn down the keys to one if i were offered them, i am sure i would not actively seek to buy one.

Well - the very same could have been said about the C5 Z when new... and even more so now that they are very cheap used cars.

The same could not really be said for the Lambo - even if it didn't have the "body kit"..
