No, that makes it an overpriced pice of plastic and fibreglass. I would much rather have a viper. Anyway... Imagine the truckdriver looking in his side mirror and seeing a corvett flying towards him.

Can you imagine the truckdrivers damage report.

That runs 0-60 in 3.5s, the 1/4 mile in 11.5s and 0-150 in 15s and 60 - 0 in 100ft and can pull 1.2g's on a track.

It is a docile as a pussy cat when it is daily driven and can lap the Nurburgring in 7m42s when it's let lose in anger.

It also has a full trunk, gets almost 30mpg on the highway and has unlimited mod otential - it loks like the Z06 came to Europe and beat youguyson your own turf.

It has the daily manners of an Audi/BMW, the performance of a Ferrari/Porsche and the exlusivity of the Macca F1

And you don't have to an Arab crown prince to afford it.


Oh - it's won LeMans 4 of the 5 times it was entered

Case closed...

easy, easy I like the car =), It's just that the prices+tax over here are so ridiculously high. I ran a check at the customs dept. and it costs almost $340.000,- here..

In a year or so I'm moving to Germany or the US to do my masters. It's not that money is a big problem, but you feel you keep getting f***ked by the government with it's high taxes. I understand why Petter Solberg moved the second afte he got his contract with subaru.

Well - whats the point of making $250,000 a year - if you pay 70% in taxe after your income tax, property tax, dog tax. car tax, wife tax, sex tax, tv tax and finally death tax...

You may as well just make $110,000 and just pay 30% overall taxes

Same difference - yah? hehe

But all that free health care and other social programs for the lazy have to come from somewhere...



Holy cow economic politics even influences buying hot rods... hehe
