The cars are the stars

How about a new thread where the cars are the stars for the car enthusiasts ?


Finally got a chance to demo the new mid engined Corvette

The interior was quite special feeling it did feel like a super car

It drove really well in the brief demo I had in it all too brief

Although it has a giant v8 it’s a lazy 8 so the acceleration didn’t feel all that fast

The one I drove was not the ZO6 which supposedly does zero to sixty in 2.9

The stingray I drove supposedly does it in 3.9 which puts it in the same category as a TTRS

I guess because the car is big and heavy when I put my foot down it really didn’t feel all that fast

I’ve driven the TTRS which felt faster probably cuz it’s smaller

It’s a nice car to own for the looks though and at 100k is a bargain considering the Ferrari is 350k and up

Kind of kicking myself because in 2005 I got my 2003 RSX with 20k miles for 330 a month for five years and thousand down think it was I had a chance at the same dealership to get a 2005 Corvette That was practically brand new had only 5000 miles. It was a base model and I loved it. I had a chance to get it for only $130 a month more but for a whole year longer for six years instead of five years, I hesitated for a day and then that sold one of the reasons was because it was red and I really did not want a red Corvette that would be like a real ticket getter but I do kind of think What if I had gotten that car instead of the Acura I’m sure the Acura gave me much better service because there were times when I needed to have someone sit in the back like I had three people to carry around so in those times, the Corvette could not have done the work, but man, I still think I should have gotten that near brand new Corvette for $130 a month more probably a good deal at that time now of course Corvettes $100,000. I hear you can get a base model for less but right now there’s still a lot of dealers asking for a lot of markup so it’s probably not a time to get one yet but I guess in a year or two maybe could get a model for around $70,000 but that’s still not gonna be 460 a month so sometimes I wish I had taken that opportunity on the Corvette . The car will be 20 years old by now but you know what fiberglass body the body is not gonna rust and the big V8 is a lazy engine is still pretty much the same engine , that’s in the Corvettes today and they’re known to be fair to easy to fix when it goes bad been known to last quite a long time too so chances are that Corvette could still be in my possession today so anyway who knows probably should’ve gotten it then

And it actually gets around 19 MPG if driven lightly which is amazing for a 6700 cc V8
