Should you buy a base GT3 instead? Only if you're a track rat. The GT3 is in another league, performance-wise, but it's not for daily use by the soft of spine.

Good to see these drivers in rally cars oversteer and loose control in the corners. made me feel a lot better about my poor 911 driving skills. I thought I was a decent driver when I had 500hp Audis and an E28 M5, but then I got my 996 and scared myself shitless. And then I found out exactly how bad I was when I…

Granted, this isn't an apples-to-apples-to-apples test. These cars each have very different missions and price tags — a Z/28 will probably run you about double what a decently-equipped Mustang GT will cost. But until the Shelby GT350 hits the streets, they're what we've got to work with.

Interestingly, as I read through my year-end summary of Ferrari ownership, I see two ways to avoid all the pitfalls I describe. Number one: get a newer Ferrari and move to a wealthy suburb. A newer model will avoid most of the cost issues I've mentioned – especially because Ferrari now offers maintenance plans and…

Seb wanted them for his trophy case!

I might suggest slipping the meat directly from the cans into a ziplock bag to prevent having to touch the meat product.

You can get paid for buying cars? How the hell did I not know about this!! I bought and sold nearly a half-million dollars worth cars the last five years just for myself, and I manage to lose money every damn time. I would love to be able to buy and sell some cars and actually make money!

if you bring in a duffle bag of hundred dollar bills yes, if you bring a cashiers check from the bank not so much.

Well played! troll level: expert

Just like the difference between a Vette engine and a Silverado/Tahoe/etc engine. Same design, differnt material, but parts swap over fairly easily.

I very nearly watch this exact same thing happened to my G while they were swapping on my 35's! Every time they took off or put on a wheel the whole car rocked on the lift. I even asked if they thought it was safe up there and the guy just kind a looked at me with a confused expression on his face....later the manager…

if something breaks I highly recommend Advanced Automotion. Had a custom 01E done for my Imola B5 Avant. And yes that hurt my pocket..so much that I still HATE.THAT.DAMN.CAR. But man was it fun to smoke C6 Corvettes.

the W8's in both sedan and wagon aren't really rare. Even plenty of sedans with stick. It's the combo of manual + wagon that's rare!

I undersand your point, most G's are horribly under used. But just know that there are exceptions!

No they are talking about the average buyer. I am like you (only I have a Mercedes Gelandewagon), I use my poser car as a truck. It's subtly lifted, wearing 35" mud tires, & rarely ever clean. It gets more looks around town because most people have never seen one like it. There are 3 other G's in my town and I love to…

But to Porsche enthusiasts, this car is the devil in automotive form. Sure, it was faster, and more powerful, and more luxurious, and more practical than its predecessor. But if you ask a Porsche enthusiast about the 996, you'll get this look, as if you're in the middle of a Mopar meet, and you just went up to some…

why GTE? Why not LMP1??

It's true, the options are rather limited in the off-road vehicle market! If you want to new off-road vehicle you have Mercedes Gelandewagon, Range Rover, FJ(for now), Land Cruiser(which is less likely to go off-road than a Mercedes), and Jeep. Ford quit the Raptor so they are out of the market, and GM hasn't been in…

When I bought my 660hp car with AWD I took several weeks to gradually find the limits of where I'm willing to take it on the street. Then I dropped the AWD and cranked to HP to 700 and now i don't put my foot in it (on the street) unless I've got a good stretch of perfectly straight open road. And it's not like that…
