> [@walter](#): > > I’ve got more cash in my checking account than you spent on 2500WHP of cars in the past 2 years. go back to tee-ball junior. That’s ok I’ve paid twice as much on income tax last year then I’ve spent on cars in the past three years. I really don’t understand people’s obsession with new cars, especially new cars that don’t preform as well as older ones. I really enjoy certain cars and would much rather take a well cared for older car then a brand new one. Examples: Camaro: New $40K or buy a 69’ Pro-touring resto. Daily: New small car or E36 M3 is such a classic good looking car. Trucks: The 2003 silverado 5.3L 4L80E gets the same MPG as the new one with a 6 speed and DOD. I also love the “cat eye” style trucks. Tow Rig: Ford’s 7.3L diesel…awesome. The only new cars I can honestly say I like and would consider buying is the new mustang specifically the GT350 or the Laguna Seca and the C63 AMG. Want a Z06 with a Targa? Get the Grand Sport. ---

I would rock a GT500, but I think for the $$$$ I’d rather rock a C6 Z06. I think I’m going to hold off until next year and grab a Z06. There’s something about the 370Z’s that I like so much though. ☹ ---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ---------- > [@Joe](#): > > C6 Z51 or wait and get the Z06. I am having a blast with my Z51 this summer even as a top down cruiser, rarely get on it. :tup: I don’t want something modded to have 1100 hp. I want something stock that runs 13’s or faster and has a warranty. Sprayed C5 vettes just ain’t my thang. ---

I think about the c6 z06 alot. Dollar for perfomance it wins. I am just not sure if I can see myself in one… and now with our daughter/work & etc… I will never have time to drive it. So whats the point of it then. I will wait till later in life for one, like the rest of the corvette owners. 😉 ---

I know the grand sports don’t have a ls7 but the ls3 is a very good engine. Toss bolt ons and a cam for more fun. You want a 13 second car? I think you should go 12s or better. The new v6 mustang runs 13.7s and my wife’s 4 door 4x4 gmc runs 13.9s lol. I will deff agree on the newer cars having a nicer interior. The new m3 is so nice… I’d love to grab one of them before they go turbo, the high reving na v8 is so lovely! LoL I keep trying to convince my wife to get a mb vert but she thinks they are ugly! Fml. No spray now you’ve really taken the fun out of it! What about a cts-v or xlr-v? Not super fast but nice. ---
