yeah that interior looks nice in the pics… but in real life is pretty shitty… you see that they use the cheapest plastic materials around…
I’d rather roll like snoop.
hands down bang for the buck the Z06 is the best track car
they can dominate almost all other production cars… save a few
LS7 power !!!
I never understood that argument… “best bang for the buck”
screw that!
I mean, if you have money to buy a sports car like a porsche 911, a corvette, a lambo etc… why the hell would you wanna buy the cheapest and the most common out of all of them? If you have 100k to spend on a car, you sure the hell have another 50-70k to buy something else… if money is tight, why the hell are you buying a damn sports car in the first place!?
To me the corvette is a sports car made for people that saved some money up over the last 30 years and now they want to spend it all on a car just before the hit the grave. Obviously those people don’t know any better and they’ll be cheap as hell…
Yes, the corvette is a fast car, yes it’s sporty, yes it’s cheap… but I still stand by my statement. You are just buying that damn engine, tranny and diff in the back. The rest of the car is a cheap as a bangkok hooker, LOL
I wouldn’t get one. It has bang for the buck, but the TRUE best bang for the buck is starting off with an older car and building it, if you wanted a trackday car out of it.
If I was going to get a super car though, I wouldn’t even get a Gallardo. Actually, I wouldn’t pick it based on performance at all. You buy a super car to drive it on a nice sumer day at a leasurely pace. Something that looks and feels special. More like say… a Testarossa, or a Countach, or a 355. Atleast, that’s what I would get.
lol…i buzz out on the 1st run the guy in the vette already had the hazard on when they started going
if someone has $100000 for a car does not mean they have another $50000 they can spend on something els.
Man o man, also building a car is also not always the best bang for the buck. If my dad wanted a nice sports car and was able to spend about 100G’s on it he would probably go for the vett. would he have an extra 50G’s around. Nope. Does he have the time and knowledge to build an old car up from scrach Nope. you people just need to actually remember that HEY not everyone is YOU. I am glad you have made your mind up about your self and that is what should in important to you but hey guess what. For a lot of the population they vett is a fantastic Bang for the buck. Hell I would trady my 240 for a C5 any day of the week.
I’d trade your car in for a vette any day of the week too man… I agree.
hehe jokes man… I couldn’t resist.
If you had 100G’s to spend on a car, and you didn’t have another 50g’s to spend on a second car, you wouldn’t TRACK the first one. There’s nobody in this world that would track their car worth 100G’s if they couldn’t afford a second car. That’d be beyond idiocy. So seeing as though they wouldn’t track it, they wouldn’t need bang for the buck in terms of performance.
Aww my friend,
I really hope you are not in marketing, it is not about what the consumer need’s it is about what they think they need or want.
^You’re damn right I’m not
I’ve always had a bit of a hatred toward business people. If companies were run by the engineers, things would cost less, they’d be of better quality, and nobody would be fooled into buying something they don’t want/need.
hahaha and odds are a lot of company’s would die out becasue they would not understand the how the consumer’s mind works. Its is kind of a shame but I kind of understand it. I do not like shaddy buisness people and that is what I took in school and deal with daily
Yeah, you need people like the “Jump to Conclusions” guy from Office Space, cause the engineers aren’t good at dealing with people.
hahaha
you know what I always say, engineers can be good managers, salesmen etc… but you’ll never see a businessman that’s a good engineer… and thank god for that. Who knows what the hell they would design, lol.
I’m an engineer and that’s what I practice at work as well… but once in a while I do get to do some management and marketing and it’s utter BS… salesmen/marketing people are pretty much useless in a proper engineering & design company. Our clients already know what we can do and can’t do.
As far as managers go, they wouldn’t be able to do their job if they weren’t engineers in the first place…
We couldn’t hire someone with an MBA and tell him to make a project schedule for the type of projects we do. He would need a good solid 15-20 years of project execution experience in order to come up with a proper project schedule for any of these type of projects. And that’s why most project managers (or managers in general) in an engineering company are actually engineers themselves.
Wow, Im glad at least someone knows everyone that ever worked in every company ever. That will sure make me feel better knowing that there is another engineer that thinks they are the only inportant people out there.
o and one of my best friends was a fantastic business man ever before he went to be an engineer. and what do you know Finished 2nd at Queens. I guess im just lucky to know the only person in the world like that.
That is probably the most ignorant thing I have read on here in a while…
That is like some people I work with that say -an electrician can do millwright work, but a millwright can’t do electrical work.
That is incredibly closed minded… I know some engineers that don’t have a clue about how marketing and business management works. not to mention the eccentric ones haha… thats a whole different story.
Anyways… Bog, you have it wrong there.
In an ideal society, marketing shouldn’t be done anyway. Or atleast not the way it’s done in reality, fooling people into believing a product is something it’s not, or making them buy things they do not need.
Benson, the guy went back to school to get an engineering degree? That’s a whole different story then, since he basically started from scratch. How many people do that?
Also, most engineers do become managers and move into the commercial side of things after a few years of work experience. I see this all the time. Usually that never happens the other way around.
Theo, there’s no way that you can take an ordinary manager and put him to do engineering work w/o school and a few years of training.
