really, move to off topic? and you are complaining he can buy a zr1 and you can't? shouldn't you be on wall street protesting the 1%???
I'm happy someone can afford a zr1 or else i'd never get to see one in person, and for you to be mad about someone buying a nice car in a crap economy you can't afford (or you wouldn't complain) is a joke. he's looking for insight, not your childish complaint of not being able to have what he can...

I agree.

DaBears you need to grow up. He has done nothing wrong. You are just jealous. The economy has nothing to do with this topic. It sounds as if he actually has a good job. Maybe you could afford a ZR1 too if you went to school and got a degree in something that would give you a decent living. You're the only one to blame...and please...

quit bragging about your crappy 2006 kia spectra lol. It is insulting to others. Some have lesser of vehicles.

best car in the world. built in britain by an american so idk how that fits into your montra of "must be american." I can guarantee you'll be the only person with one wherever you go.

you're not gonna beat a 1250 hp gt-r with a twin turbo vette. all wheel drive will kill you every time if he gets a good launch.
WRONG. He can beat a 1250hp GT-R with a TT Vette. Have you ever seen the amounts of power some of those vettes can put down? Granted the GT-R does have AWD like previously mentioned, so it does have an advantage. However, RWD cars do have the advantage after the launch. It all comes down to horsepower, weight, how well each car hooks, and the driver skill.

Take a look at something...



Obviously he was having traction issues...so if you can get it to hook...it's going to be a race.

exactly, "if" you can get it to hook up. The AWD is going to consistently push the GTR over the top (have they fixed the whole launch control blowing up the trans yet?). Sure, maybe he'll take 1/10 when the stars align perfectly but is that really considered beating the GTR?

A vette with no motor still beats the GTR in every department.
