I know the new z06 is going to be a beast but I just couldn't justify spending that much on a car that looks the same as a car half its price. But I'm also not hitting my midlife crisis yet

Same here. I'm not saying the car won't be a beast but I would hate to spend 100k on a car and everyone that isn't a gear head comes up and says, "nice vette, my grandfather has one just like it"

Exactly the same?

Different front bumper, front splitters, front fenders, side skirts, rear fenders, rear bumper, tail lights, emblems... yup. Exactly the same.

I found that comment amusing considering the Mustang crowd is absolutely the worst about cars looking similar with so many Stangers running the same body mods and wheels. lmao.

These should be your new favorite wheel! Drag oriented, black mesh, and no rivets!

Yes like I said a car guy will know the difference. 90% of the people you meet will not.

True but, still that same 90% won't know the difference between a 5.0 and a base Mustang or even a GT500.

With the ZO6 you get different everything except roof panel, mirrors, doors and trunk. Everything else is completely different. It's a Corvette so it does have to look like... *gasp* a Corvette. What are people expecting the ZO6 to look like? Not a Corvette?

Here's my decision matrix for the short list of cars I would sell mine for:

1) Ford GT - but good luck finding one for anything near $100K

2) Audi R8 vert - reasonable price but needs the dual hairdryer mod

3) '15 Z06 vert - all new cars are too expensive, this one is closest to being worth the asking price

New viper is a ton easier to drive then old one. I hear that the viper motor is severely detuned because of who it's owned by didn't want it to overshadow its other more expensive offerings.

**jng2985** · 01-22-2014, 08:35 PM

lol buy the z07 pck and drive on 4.. Car is def. badass! Yellow is still gay........ Either way, badass car. I will be impressed when I get a chance to run one "and lose" but not be ricer fly by'd by the old guy claiming he won.

On the track car is only as fast the driver.

**Soulowd** · 01-22-2014, 09:47 PM

You can get a super snake for 100k that be my choice

**Crimson600+HP** · 01-22-2014, 10:57 PM

Used grand am racers from rehagen racing are like $30k. Then $70k on something else

Those don't look bad at all. I kinda like them. I don't have a problem with black centered wheels, it's the wheels that are all blacked out including the hoops to where it takes all the detail away and you can't see what kind of wheel it is. In pictures the car just looks like it's sitting on some black void. Just looks silly in my opinion. But each to their own. As for the assembly bolts I've never been wild about them either, but they have grown on me with my wheels. I really hate them when I have to clean them on occasion cuz it hurts my fingers like a mofo!

LOL. I love how you bolded the "assembly bolts".

The wheels aren't that bad. I like the new S75B style though. It looks like the old mag wheels from the original Machs and Camaros from back in the day.

Much like a conversation I had with a certain yellow viper owner:
"If we pass a cop mid pull I can just pull into a mall parking lot. You can't."
