Wtf why would you assume Im bashing the ls7? I absolutely adore the z06z07 and z28. Fact of the matter is on track the cars will stay up in the powerband and a 4 valve flat plane crank 5.2 is going to have a better throttle response. Otherwise what would have been the point of the 5.2?

...are you unaware that the ls7 has a cam-in-block and 2 valves per cylinder?

Probably less hefty though. That plus the engine response will put it right up there

you reach a point where you're going forward so fast that that stuff doesn't matter...

yeah the age of low sills is behind us. Health and safety dictate we need to drive tanks to survive.

and with that, which would you rather?

I think a good idea would have been to put on some crazy, memorable wing on the back. I love wacky aero. Possible suggestions:

that's exactly what the reference was referring to.

CF?

this is what fantasies are made of

I see what you mean, it's just that so many people feel the need to point that out, most of them citing completely irrelevant assumptions. It drives me nuts. I don't know how Tavarish puts up with people insulting his intelligence week after week.

Can you not read past what's written to see what's implied? I even wrote, "he usually isn't saying it's smart to buy them, just what you can get for the dollar". Did you miss that? Just because it's 'car buying', doesn't mean there can't be some interesting analysis of cars that hold a fraction of their original…

so the e9x M3, z06, ISF, cts-V weren't good prices for good cars? You obviously misunderstand the point of the exercise either way; part of it is supposed to highlight the incredible depreciation cars take. Obviously most of the cars Tavarish shares are flawed if they've depreciated to that extent and he usually isn't…

the rtr-x has a coyote with itbs, sounds good man

How did you miss the hilarious line that only fans of forum debate, cat videos, and tentacle hentai think e46>E9x?

as much hp than the 5th gen? Which made 400 hp by the way, and that car isn't a racecar by the way... Also what should have been on the most beautiful engine?

I don't fit in small cars and they're unsafe if a 5000lb suv runs me over... so small cars is dumb!

whats your point? The fairlane thunderbolt made 600 hp in '63. Is it the high revs? Because a 2 L revving up that high isn't astounding if you ask me.

awesome. Only in 'merica could joe everyman build himself a 10 second car on a budget. Lets see it, I'm guessing everything you listed was what you've done to yours?
