> [@Blue4](#): > > viper is inferior in every way, except exclusivity If you have 70-80 to throw away on a car, exclusitivity is a big factor. I would even take a n/a 911 over a vette. The vette may be fast, but I have never liked them or ever will like them, and I don’t know why :dunno: ---

what u guys r saying does make sense, in regards to dropping alot of cash on a car. its all in what u like. but if u r going for all-around performance per $, tough to beat a vette…even a C5. i’ve always loved the styling of a vette and prefer it to pretty much every car it compares to. the only cars i think r just as cool or cooler looking are WS6s and some higher end cars above the vette. ---

I agree that everyone always wants to pull the “bad conditions” excuse but Sat it was really tough out there. I go to the strip at least a couple of times a year for the last 8 to 10 years and I have never felt a track as slick as this one was. The headwind was very stiff. I have a bone stock 04Z and I could not go full throttle in 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd on most of my runs. I was 2 to 3 MPH down from my normal trap speeds. I ran right behind him on 5 straight passes and my friend who was videoing said that his car seemed twice as loud as mine under WOT. I thought it looked awesome and sounded very good.

I liked the styling of the C5s. But there are just far too many of them on the road for my tastes. Then again, you can pick up a used C5 for ~$20K, which is a far cry form $70K. As far as performance per dollar, F-bods dominate that category. And with the cash you spent on a C5, you could make just about any car, import or domestic, rape the shit out of a C5. ---

I believe the cobra takes that away from the f-body. 🙂 And yes, you could buy any car and make it fast, but if you have 70k to drop on a car, having a fast civic is a joke. ---

Also with GM losing 1.1billion in its 1st 1/4 of the year…I think they are trying to squeeze out more money from things to try and make an actual profit ---
