Went to Winn Dixie with wife and WOW!

[Dave328]

But how many people are impressed enough to take photos of a zo6 at Winn Dixie? I love the z06's and would own one in a hearbeat, but it's not a Ferrari

This right here in a nutshell is what eats at the very core of vette owners. 98.9% could never own ANY model Ferrari, so they take out a second or third mortgage and buy a Z06. Then they crow about how much better it is than Ferrari/Lambo/Porsche/ETC on the dragstrip or some mythical road course that exists only on their forums. Encountered more of these than I can count while driving. However, there are the 1.1% of vette owners who are actually cool car guys.

I love all fast rides but bang for the buck, I'll keep my 625 hp 5.0 mustang that has less than 35k invested and gets 25mpg over any of them.

Now wait, I have a N/A 5.0 pushing somewhere near 400 at the rear and I don't get anywhere near 25 MPG.

There's a boatload of Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini guys who are like that, too. Money cannot buy skill.

My biggest gripe with Chevy is chasing the horsepower when I cannot use it but I could use Audi materials and build quality for the interior. I'd trade 50 bhp for that: I'm "cheating"; I'd like a Z06 with that interior (but I'm willing to pass up 140 bhp from the ZR-1. Hopefully no one noticed...)

One guy in the comment section "passed a brick"! LOL!

Very fast in a str8 line for sure. Even if the handling isn't nailed perfectly it's got the power to eat a lot of cars on faster tracks.

I'm SURE Ferrari will make something even LESS practical and breathe some soul into it... They were talking of downsizing their next supercar - like 2k pounds. I HOPE they'd downsize the engine's output to go with it - not that it matters.

Like one of the sharp-witted commenters: 12 people got hit in the knee with an arrow. That's about how relevant Ferrari's supercars (and everyone else's). I ADORE them just the same. :wink:

 

[buttanic]

Just keep in mind that it really doesn't take that much money to buy one. It takes a whole crap load of money to MAINTAIN one...

Just what I always said. I could afford to buy a Ferrari, but I couldn't afford to own one.

I'm betting that's a, '87 Fiero with a body kit

Yep, the officers were in violation of traffic laws, but the confrontations were wrong. Document the violation (photo, video) politely inform the officer (in the case of the fire in progress) but don't argue or lecture, and then report to supervisors-politely. Now, I can't say I'd feel too bad about seeing a fire truck shoving the car out of the way.

Check out the new 5.0's. My 91 sees very little use anymore.
