    I was looking at Vipers and Z06s when I bought my C5Z.

    You will get more bang for the buck with a Corvette.

    Sure, look at the bad roof on some of the C6Zs, now look at most ALL Vipers and their front ends not lining up with their headlights. C6Z w/ just drag radials runs 10s and the Viper... ? Not to mention the huge difference in price on the new ones. Test after test came back with the same results. Sure, the Viper isn't too far behind the Z06... but then there's the price factor.

    This debate can go on all day long. I looked at both, researched plenty. If it's not your cup of tea, so be it. Don't generalize everyone. I'm sure someone could generalize you (TRYMY4.0) about being a daddy's boy and having everything bought for him. Point is, everyone's different and driving a certain car will not automatically make you a dick. You didn't seem as snotty when I met you in person (bought the Cobalt boost gauge from you a while back).

    As for Wal-Mart, go hate on something else. It's all you do in every post. I'd LOVE to see what kind of rocket on wheels you drive. Must be a Ferrari the way you talk about everyone else's cars.

    As for kayfuNk, well... he drives a 350Z. I'd be bitter too if I paid $30,000 for a 235whp car.

    i am not generalizing everyone. just most, I never said ALL vette owners. I said typically most. Me? i'm a daddy's boy? I bought my own car, I'm still paying it off. I paid for my motors, motor build, s/c, tune, rims, EVERYTHING was paid by me. I work on my own car too, my blood sweat and tears are in my car. Not anyone else.


    why the fuck are you bashing on kayfunk? he didn't say shit about you. He said about the interior of the car. He wasn't knocking anyone. that was uncalled for.

    Perhaps I should've rephrased it a little. Not sure why the Corvette hate, but I take it back, kayfuNk.

    I'll rephrase with: I'll take a cheap interior over an overpriced and underpowered Nissan any day of the week.

    Cars are cars. One will take less money to make go faster. One will always be prettier. One will always be cheaper. Who cares...

    ...still waiting to see what kind of supercar Wal-Mart drives.

    and your stupidity astounds me ;[, it's a Nissan which means when your chevy's dead and gone in a few years mine will be running strong, not to mention there's NUMEROUS reviews on the 350 being the best car for the $ under 30,000, i got the car for the looks, speed you can add to any car, a 13.8 quarter mile stock on a v6 is GOOD, as good as the base c5 vettes for 10 grand more with cheaper parts ;[, furthermore, i bought my Z for $22k, for the 40 you probably spent on your zo6 i could have a faster and MUCH NICER looking car than you.

    Prove it. Until you do... your car is still overpriced and slow. I've been to a 350Z dyno day or two. Stock ones put down 230-235rwhp. Also, when is the last time YOU ran your car to a 13.8? Because others have ran an 11.9 in a bone stock C5Z06 doesn't mean I can or will.

    How do you know my Chevy will be gone in a few years? How many have you owned and driven for 5-7 years? I'm no psychic but I'm going to venture out there and say... NONE. So you're just talking just to talk.

    Your close-minded, biased opinion means nothing to me. What you read in a magazine and on the internet about being "the best car under $30,000" means absolutely nothing to me.

    I'll continue basing my experiences on facts. You can go pick up the next Car and Driver and conjure up more rebuttles from there.

    Well,theres a lot of stuff i hate, but im not 'hating', just stating a opinion. But once again, im not comparing performance of these cars at all. I never said they werent fast.. as a matter of fact, i did say they are. I'm just saying that GM could have done a way better job of putting them together for what they charge. But there are a majority of 'Vette owners who think their shit dont stink, as with many groups of car owners. I'm sure the same things could be said about most of these owners of popular cars, just some get more publicised then others....Mustangs,Camaros,Supras,EVos...the list goes on. But the thread started isnt exactly breaking the mold of being a stereotypical owner. When you catch me making BS claims about stuff and personally attacking you, then you can pick on me, because im not picking on you personally by any means.

    What i drive is no matter, i dont put my car on any kind of podium and think its god. Yes its a sports car, but i know my niche in the 'food chain' , if you want to call it that.

    260 ;x and there's nothing to be bitter about, i stated simple fact, the outsides of vettes look great, dont be bitter because the inside of vettes look like tonka trucks, i could make a better interior with plado and toothpicks.
