[QUOTE=Ferrer;771322]Says the man who drives a 105bhp Golf...[/QUOTE]
The Golf flies baby! Kickdown into 3rd, struggle to hit 120 on the onramp!
[QUOTE=fisetdavid26;771324]It's worse than that, he absolutely loved his 96 bhp Plymouth Voyager...[/QUOTE]
Don't be a hater!
The Voyager had a 3L Mitsubishi V6 with 141 hp. It had about as much grunt as the Golf. I loved my baby - even though it was my parents.

What about sending them to me so I can update my posts? Everyone will be able to enjoy them :)
[QUOTE=NSXType-R;771085]
The wheels. Why'd they have to go chrome?[/QUOTE]
Because it's a Corvette. The balding middle aged men who drive them would be fuming if there weren't enough cheapy chrome.

I doubt it has as much punch as supercharged hot hatch, though. :)

I was kidding. It's a slow PoS. As I've mentioned before, the Focus is much more fun to drive.
[QUOTE=092326001;771075]the wheels,spoiler and the carbon fiber roof look good especially in black.
the hood and the wings don't look so good[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=092326001;771155]the 08 viper>this
the thing's hideous, the body kit looks ricer, the hood is awful, cheesy engine cover.
i think the wheels look alright though[/QUOTE]
I don’t think I could disagree more. The hood is a little taller than that of the Z06, but that’s due to its having to clear the intercooler atop the motor. And, based on past encounters, a Viper is likely to be a truck by comparison.
[QUOTE=The_Canuck;771126]This is how the world ends.[/QUOTE]
What exactly do you mean???
[QUOTE=092326001;771193]i'm just saying, couldn't they have painted it?[/QUOTE]
They did paint it, the additive they used in the clear-coat for the carbonfibre costs $60,000 a gallon.
[QUOTE=ruim20;771259]...i don't get this one.[/QUOTE]
It’s much, much faster.
[QUOTE=McReis;771271]That's another reason why they should work more on the interiors. While the steering wheel may be fine, it's not nice for the ZR1 buyer to see he's getting the same kind of finishing you get on a Cobalt.[/QUOTE]
I agree to a point, but Chevy are trying to offer a 620-650bhp, total performance car, for around $100,000, and the interior is still leagues ahead of a Vipers, and not that far behind a Porsche. It’s not perfect, but in supercar terms you’d be hard pressed not to admit it’s a bit of a bargain.
[QUOTE=Smokescreen;771296]620 horsepower is a disappointment.[/QUOTE]
I’m laughing… a lot.

Than most things!

In initial quality, a Porsche is still loads better, as time goes on, the gap increases exponentially. :p Just for reference, I do have a GMC, and after 8 years the interior is a piece, as much as I love it, there's no denying that. The Americans have made alot of improvements as of late, but they're still in about 1995 in Germany.
Not saying I wouldn't love to drive one, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. :)

Is the interior card the only one you know how to play?

i actually don't find anything special about the 997 and 996 interiors at all...
[QUOTE=clutch-monkey;771381]i actually don't find anything special about the 997 and 996 interiors at all...[/QUOTE]
Nothing special in design of course, but the materials and build techniques used are far superior to GM's.
[QUOTE=baddabang]Is the interior card the only one you know how to play?[/QUOTE]
Yes. And correct me if I'm wrong but it's where you spend most of the time in the car. Not enough of a difference surely to justify the $30,000 difference in this and a 997 Turbo, but something worth mentioning, for sure.
[QUOTE=baddabang;771378]Is the interior card the only one you know how to play?[/QUOTE]
I'd play the "the engines on the wrong side of the car" card.
Oversteer FTL. I repeat: the 911 would be a far superior animal if they moved the engine a few feet forward.
I they moved the 911's engine a few feet forward it would not be a 911 anymore but a really fast cayman !!
Nothing against that thought!! :P

Yeah, you wouldn't have a 911 anymore.
I've always wondered what would happen when you dump a 911 GT3 engine into a Cayman.
It'd be a nice combination, that's what it would be. :D
I'd bet RUF would do that for me if I had the money for it.
