Nice message, but it goes against almost every rule of being a car guy. We, as car guys, need more. Constantly. It's like smoking crack, that first rush is awesome, then harder to attain each successive time. Speed is as much an addiction as any narcotic. The only way to not want more, is to not play the game in the first place.

I've had over a dozen Mustangs so I'm ready for something different. I think the Z06 is the best bang for the buck car in the lastfew decades. From stock, it's one of the best handling, quickest stock cars ever that outperform cars that cost two or three times as much. I'd also like a true sports car for a change, rather than an amped up passenger car.

I mean think about it, even as built as your car is it still has no chance against a stock C6 Z06. That's pretty impressive considering how modded your car is!

It's easy to get carried away. Especially when 1,000hp cars are glorified non stop on the interwebz. I caught myself looking at blowers and turbos and all sorts of shit and had to step back. No matter how much I spend it won't be enough so be happy that its not a yugo and enjoy it.

It's definitely an addiction. I told myself id be satisfied when I got a headers and a tuner, I've had them less than a month and I'm ready for more. The satisfaction lasted a week or less. Lol. At least it's not drugs or alcohol.

Then perhaps you should make your point abit more clear. Did you mean it as your usual negative rhetorical statement rather than an actual question? I answered your question.

From the video it says you should be happy with what you have. And you said he makes a great point. Obviously you disagree with what he said cause now you want something "faster".

I believe my post said "different" when I answered your question. It's just a bonus it's faster.
