Most Maseratis ever made. 

I autocross an STI. They aren’t competitive in stock classes, but STIs and Evos do well in STU (basically a very aggressive street tune). The boostiness is fun, but it’s challenging to keep the turbo spooled. The STIs are also challenged by short gearing (you often hit the top of second and it can be hard to get into…

It’s just that they are a much higher skill level car to drive than lower power cars. I know the people in my region who can drive their corvettes and those who can’t. But you do have to be careful of the newbies- we’ve had corvettes take out the timing systems and shut the whole thing down.

Those are no fun IME. My local SCCA group uses either a local road course track with added cones to keep speeds in check or the Police Academy training area, which is a skid pad plus a big figure 8. There’s plenty of room for Corvettes, but they aren’t as fast as the raw performance would imply because kinks that are…

Corvettes are common autocross cars. They are competitive in their classes (depends on generation and mods). Biggest problem with them from a performance standpoint is they are too wide and can’t use most of their power at autocross speeds.

Autocross? Just get a new BRZ and be happy. There’s a spec class that’s perfect for someone looking to improve their driving and have fun. Keep the boxer engine and get a warranty to go with. 

Yeah, I’d say where there’s smoke there’s fire on that front. My 67 had a few spots here and there like that. I’m probably 100 man hours into metal work with at least that many to go. No way it would have made sense on a car that is worth less than 1/5 as much in good shape. 

Really needs a proper inspection to assess. A little rust in the spare tire wheel is no big deal. My spider had this, and it was truly the only rust to be found on the car. On the other hand, you can’t just take their word for it that the rest of the car is solid.

I haven’t seen a well sorted NA Miata that cheap in a very long time. 

I own a (heavily modified) 1986 spider and am doing a bare shell restoration on a 67 Giulia (same basic chassis). The price is probably market, but the car probably only makes sense for someone looking to do some heavy modifications or doesn’t mind a rough looking car if the rust situation is as described (may not be).

Don’t they usually do a torture test tow test where they go over the continental divide? 

That truck later turned out to have a defective battery pack. 

Biden’s BBB bill was going to have e-bike subsidies, but Manchin and Sinema wouldn’t go for it. So we are left with the scaled down EV credit.

It is for the most part.

I know dentists who could afford one of these just fine. 

You are likely basing that off the Hoovie’s garage video. That truck turned out to have a defective battery pack. Edmunds did a test towing a car trailer where the truck was only down 25% in tow mode. 

That’s the fundamental problem. Corvettes- even Z06 models - are not low production limited cars. Give it a few years and supply and demand will balance out. The premium will evaporate.

Theoretically, they “add value” by providing liquidity in the market. If you REALLY want a Z06 NOW and don’t care what the price is a flipper will allow you to do it. Without flippers, you might be stuck on a waitlist no matter how much money you are willing to spend. 

A proprietor can be (and often is) the CEO- see Mark Zuckerberg.

If Lee Iococca was the first “celebrity CEO” what were Henry Ford? J.P. Morgan? Andrew Carnegie? John D. Rockefeller?
