These are the kinds of pictures I want to show people who think of cars as only a machine that gets them to and from where they need to go. Even if you know nothing about cars, don’t care to know anything about cars, and couldn’t tell a Corvette from a Cavalier - How can you look at that car and not tell me it’s not a serious piece of eye candy as well as an amazing machine? So sexy. I want. :sad ---

For me German cars are like that “once you go black, you never go back” phrase. Once I went German… I can’t bring myself to buy anything else. I could have a second car that wasn’t. But to be truly happy, I really need some VAG. :tong :lol ---

the Zr1 is one of the baddest cars out there, whats this talk about an r8, and r8 does hang with a z06? Then your going to add 138hp. I dont think 105k is steep for a car like that, i don’t believe its about the horsepower or what the car does that makes it 105k or 120k or whatever, its the fact that its like that last of a dying breed, there only making so many of these cars, under 5000 iirc. Its more of a collectors item than just a vette. GM is making plans to make the vette with smaller engines and what not so I think the value is right on. ---
