I agree with your overall message, but it’s worth noting that the fuel cut off for the LS6 in the C5 Z06 is 6600 rpms.

Here’s a way you could take a C5 coupe and elevate it above the C5Z:

I didn’t include many of the C2 and C3 engine options because it isn’t clear what the net HP rating was. Only gross numbers were published.

No. The C4 ZR-1 had 405hp from 1993 to 1995.

You could easily exceed the performance of a c5 z06 with a base C5 and the right modifications.

Everyone is going to mention all of the American examples, but lets take a look at some high-end examples:

How to waste a whole bunch of money on overpriced junk when you could have just bought the useful parts by themselves and saved a bunch.

They look fantastic but they aren’t worth the premium they carry, imo.

Most Ferraris don’t do much for me, but I am a sucker for their FMR machines. The 599 is fantastic. I still have a soft spot for the 550 and 575.

I had the displeasure of driving in NJ for about 2 years. It wasn’t the worst experience, but it was often unpleasant.

The FJ is kinda overpriced when you consider its age and the miles that it would have to have for it to be in your price range.

Neither engine would be my first choice, but I have heard reasonably good things about the ej.

I concur

It kinda sounds like you’re saying the ej257 (for example) is a better engine than a 3s-gte. But that’s wrong, so I’m going to assume that isn’t what you’re saying.

I know you’re joking, but I like posting charts.

It has a chassis that struggles around corners, exceptionally bland styling inside and out, and an interior that would make Fisher-Price proud.

It’s all semantics.

Does the car cover belong to someone else?
