Buy a ford GT, much more money and top speed is over 200MPH!, the vette still has an OHV motor way behind the times, The skyline is a joke it's ugly the reason people covet it is you can't get it over here without being ripped off. Get the mustang GT at least you can take a few friends with you on your Vegas runs. Yea they'll need to be kinda small to fit in the back seats but its an option.

Get the Vette for sure. It's a super car killer for half the price. It's handling is insane and it comes out of the box with awesome power. Get exhaust, headers, intake and a cam and it'll be unstoppable.

I wonder what route folks will be taking in modifying their Z06's?
What do y'all think about some big vortec heads, some low compression pistons, the entire AWD drivetrain from a Chevy Equinox, and a mild turbo or supercharger.
Now, maybe it'd be a Veyron killer.

Corvettes are far from unreliable. Been that way for over 30 years... since it's been much longer than that since the basic hardware changed. Classic case of not fixing what ain't broke.

I want the 2006 Z06, I like the little ram air scoop and I like the numbers. On the 17 mile Nuremberg it came in with the second fastest time of any production car ever, something like 11 seconds slower than the $400,000 Porsche GT.
They only had the Nuremberg rented for 1 hour. So they only had a few runs, it is a LONG course.
These kinds of numbers are hard to ignore and have sold the 2006 Z06 to me, but I just lost my job

Who was driving the vette Ron Fellows. Just saw a C-6 today it is the best look'g vette ever. I'm not a big fan of the push rod, I think the only performance cars using them are the Viper and Vette, but both are great cars.

definitly most potential. wait till some pyschopath turbos the shelby or new z06!!
one day i will own one... one day.

get the mustang if you like mullets, cutoff t shirts, oakley blades and chicks that cram ounces upon ounces of crystal meth up their nose.....
otherwise, mod the STi and kill all other cars on the road.....
