It clearly isn't for you. I spent 5 minutes in a C6ZR1 and that car changed me. The C7ZR1 is built for performance and while the build quality isn't AMG level, it isn't Malibu level, either. My C5 is 18 years old with 170k miles and can still hold a corner with anything. A Camaro doesn't age this well.

I would dig it if not for the fwd aspect. I am using a '78 Chevy P30 stepvan to build my dream RV. That chassis is better than a Toronado.

The Brammo Empulse was an amazing bike for less than half that price and was race proven. Harley had a good idea but miss this mark by A LOT.

Its ultimately your ride, but I never really thought about until I saw the Pontiac G8 at work that has full Holden gear. Granted, I think the Commodore is a much better looking car, but this G8 is one of few I even notice. So there must be something to it.

Yes, having one of these tailgating me in my Corvette in the morning is awesome. Truck design in general is crazy, I miss my vinyl floor and manual windows in my old Silverado.

While the Cruze may not be a BAD car, it certainly isn’t a great car. The Corolla is boring, but crazy reliable. The Civic comes an a number of packages that are way better than anything in the Cruze lineup. The SS was the only one worth a damn and we didn’t get it in the US.

It would still be half the price of most cars it beats on the track. If it's only 20% better than the ZR1, it will be worth $150k. I think the $170k is Z06 level equipment, my guess is an NA base model for $125k. That is cheaper than most everything worth putting it up against.

This is the exact car that came to mind, oh damn.

I don't get it. It looks like a bad 80's prototype. At least it is too expensive to even consider.

This is why in all my car buying years I have never bought new. Current car is amazing, MSRP of $48k new in ‘01, purchased in ‘14 for $14k with 72k miles. 4 years later and she’s paid off and now has 170k miles and averages 24mpg. I love my Corvette Z51.

I have the same issue with the looks of the new GT-R. While not ugly by any stretch, it also isn’t very interesting or exciting, either. I do like the R32 with the boxed flares, like the E30 M3, it gives it a little attitude. I would own an R32 or R34 if I could convert it to left hand drive.

Street racing is stupid. I did it when I was a kid, but shows like Street Outlaws encourage idiot behavior. I have jackasses try to race me in my car every damn day, like some Fast and Furious STi or other turbo import sporting a fart can with something to prove against a Corvette. It is just silly.

While I have never thought of the Camaro as anything but a muscle car, the new Z28 is legit for a street machine and would be fun on the back roads. And there are 2 in my area, hmmm. A gray for $59,999

I have had the same problem with some Italian cars and I am only 6’4”. But I do fit into my C5 and have room for a helmet.

Those S10’s rattled worse than the Camaro’s did back then. While not an awful truck, the build quality in those years was lacking.

Wow. just wow. I still haven’t ridden the 1290 but I love the look and the bike is insane on paper.

I hate selling stuff on craigslist, but it is the easiest way sometimes. I would love your Skyline, but I would spend too much money trying to make it into a left hand drive car to even make it worth while. But it would be damn fun.

The Audi just looks squaty to me. I do like the manual trans and that is a good price. 45k miles on a car that is 8 years old IS considered low miles. I put 30k a year on my Corvette.

A friend of mine is flying to Texas to pick one up in January. I really like this car, but not enough to give up my current ride quite yet. I am holding out for a used ZR1 in another few years. I need a manual.
