looks like someone was happy with their stock 360 (8:10 on the nordschliefe?) even though they've owned a M5, Z06 and Z8 
Its not all about the lap times and specs RC  |
Well - considering the persons list has both an M5 and a Z8 - neither of which are the the quickest of cars - but rather lethargic status symbols.. it is not surprising that he swapped the faster Z06 for a slower 360 - he naturally congregated towards slow status symbols anyway 
BTW - what is the reason for trying to derail this 1/4 mile topic again?
Please keep the discussion on topic. |
lol, i was merely pointing out that maybe a few (the majority) disagree with the vette being the all singing all dancing perfect "supercar" that you make it out to be which is obviously not the case.
Bottom line is, he owned 4 decent performance cars including a vette and he preffered the 360 by quite a way.... he was amazed when he drove it. Considering that its so much slower than the vette and he thought it was an amzing ride, surely that tells you something?
Please keep on the disucssion topic? I think thats a bit hypocritical
Just look at the amount of people who appose your views on the vette, american and european..... Although you'll never give in, maybe you should take some time out to realize that the vette really isnt it all that you make it out to be......
Its ur choice of car, you stick to it, most others will disagree

Yet the 6500 odd buyers a year don't agree... that is a sizable number of owners - actually more than all the 360 owners put together..

Out of pure interest and because of how far off topic its gone already do you know roughly how many come to europe each year ? i'd be interested as they are definately a rare sight for me

It is and has always been as such from my side - but I suspect some other folks take it a little too seriously and to heart.
But let's think about this for a moment - does anyone honestly think Jabba would put up with all my shit for this length of time and over this broad of a topic spectrum if there wasn't some sort of inside joke going on...
The moral of the story - take the time to step back and see the big picture once in a while...

No need to apologize - I just want to be sure if someone insults me, that it be grammatically correct..

Damn dude you are worse than M. Moore.......I guess that last remark there could be regarded as an insult........ |
Well - if my greatest compliment is an insult equating me to Moore then I am not doing too badly..

Check sig for my car and times. I ran it a couple days after I got it. I was using the wrong oil, gas, and launches. I think I can get it into mid 16's stock, and then ill go from there.

Which engine? EJ207T? What turbo?
Anyway hey RC45 what does this 725 Lingerfelter run anyway? Just the 530HP packages can do 8.95 @ 153.7mph
This C6 725 Horsepower 427 CID Intercooled Twin Turbo, looks insane!

I dunno what the TT would run - but here is a road race prepped C6 eating Vipers for lunch... even after stalling on the starting grid, cracking the diff. and running the rear end till it was bone dry and destroyed itself..
Imagine what the car would be able to do when it's healthy... :shock:
