i am for exotic power handling and control. I see a mussle car i go yeah kool. When i see something so rare and breathtaking as a ferrari i go wow. theya re totally different things.

The TT Lingenfelter Vette is no doubt badass, but there are a bunch of exotics I'd gladly take instead.
Some examples:
F355
Enzo
Koenigsegg
F40
F50
Zonda
Diablo

I would have to agree with cho_888, for the same reasons but if you look at the inside of a Corvette and then the inside of a Ferrari you will notice that the inside of the Corvette may seem similar to a Chevy S10 pickup truck. Then if you actually ride in both cars, the difference is obvious, the balance and turn in of a Ferrari or Porsche combined with the power that is found in a Corvette make American sports cars (Besides the Saleen S7 and the Ford GT) seem obsolete.

it all comes back to money. if money wasn't a concern (which it always is) i'd get the enzo or the zonda. but the things are impossible to drive and take care of on a daily basis. the enzos oil is like 60 bucks, the tires are worth more than some cars, and its really hard to to get them worked on... i mean i haven't exactly seen a pagani shop around the corner. if i had the money from where i am living right now, i would get the lingenfelter. i can drive it everyday and still maintenance it without spending 69million dollars

. plus you guys say a lot of crap about how the ferraris and porsches handle so much better which is bullshit. the supercar ferraris and porsches might, but the regular ones don't. and even then, im sure the lingenfelter can get within reach and still be hundreds of thousands left. the corvette zo6 is a monster at a track because it can handle so well. i believe it does have a 50/50 weight distribution as well. i have been on the porsche boards and many guys with GT3 have praised the Z06 but said they would never get one because they want to have a porsche. they didnt get the porsche because it was such a better performer, they got it because it was a "porsche."i can't blame them but that was just their choice. you can call a corvette "unbalanced" all you want, but hopefully when one flies by your ass on the track you'll keep your mouth shut.

gofspeed06...you have a point...i think that the american power is great, even if the other makes, like ferrari or porsche are more desirable, i definitely stick to the american, exotic are really really cool, and if i could maintain a ferrari or a lambo, i would buy one, but for all of us (a big part of this comunity) we just can afford having this cars, so i stick to a real dream, not ferrari or lambo, porsche is still on anybodies list, cuz' is not as expensive as the others, but anyway cool opinions

thanx

the vette does what the others don't. it makes a great car that lots of people can enjoy, and that is what makes the vette great. on the flip side, it is also what makes the vette different from other great cars. its the classic debate between viper and vette. both great cars but one gives you that special exclusivity and the other doesn't. it comes down to how you look at it. the facet of the vette you dislike is the same facet that others believe makes the vette what it is. either way, it is still a real performer.

godspeed06 · 01-01-2004, 02:06 PM

You make me laugh man. Saying that regular Ferraris dont handel well....lol yeah...

and trust me, a stock Z06 will have a hard time keeping up on a track with a GT3.

corvette97 · 01-01-2004, 04:18 PM

SFDMALEX , lets just say that is gonna be harder to a z06 to keep up with a gt3 on a track,but your sorry ass will not get any of those for a long time, but anyway i wish that you own one one day, and if you have the chance to get a z06 it would be stupid not to get one! :fist: so fuck off, there is a market for diferent kinds of people, exotics are for millionares and rich people, and american muscle has a bigger market, for sorry asses like us so don't come up with that shit of exotic power cuz' it's dificult to get one

i never said they didn't handle well. doesn't that suck. :fist:

godspeed06 · 01-01-2004, 11:24 PM

oh yea, and here is a thread from a porsche board comparing the GT3 to the Z06. considering the amount of bias you would have to expect because it is a porsche forum many of the members show a lot of respect for the Z06 against the GT3. it is a good read, as long as you neglect some of the overly biased porsche owners.

What is your point? Exotic for rich, and american iron for poor? Were is this statement leading? What are you trying to say?
