Help. Choosing new car.

[camslambam]

Current fleet:

630rwhp supercharged/cammed/geared etc etc L99.

Daily:
SRT10 RAM PICKUP. Currently at the shop getting water meth and a 150 shot thrown on.


New car selection:

A) ZR1
B) Callaway SC606
C) Full built 1200rwhp twin turbo vette

People have been telling me to get the new GTR and mod it but I am a american car guy. Budget is roughly around 105-115k.

What would you guys do. My ultimate goal is I have to beat a 1250rwhp GTR that's in country. MUST beat it. Leaning HEAVILY towards the twin turbo vette build.

[sambol9]

Damn....not to be rude at all but what do you do for work? lol. I wish I had the money to play like you.

The turbo set up has my vote. The ZR1 cost what 110k and you will need to replace most of the stuff that makes up a ZR1 in order to get 1200rwhp. I start with a Z06 and sale the Ls7 , 6060 and diff. E rod people pay a lot for them. Then you can have some place set you up with a 1200rwhp set up. So the price of a Z06 - what you get from the parts you sale plus the new parts is around 100k for a GTR killer and be at 3200lbs the gtr is what 4100 or so. That is unless you get the Z06 with a lot of stuff on it the price be higher but why would you order heated seats etc. on a race car.

New Corvette is coming out soon, isn't it? Get the Viper!

I would pick the ZR1 just to say I have the fastest american production car, but overall I would choice the 1200hp vette.

[DuhKoDuh]

out of your choices, ZR1, but i would by a prestine 2008 ACR Viper!! it doesnt have all that technology holding it back

[blackSSRS]

tough choice, I'd say the ZR1 and mod that. but beating a 1,200 hp GTR is gonna be tough with its all wheel drive. and you'd be at half that hp with a stock zr1. what about looking for a modded used zr1 closer to 900hp (not sure if any would be available though). and how much hp does the twin turbo vette have? that may be the better deal for a fast straight line runner.

if it were me i'd take the zr1 just because of what it is. then mod it as money allowed. but you can make crazy power modding a zo6 and aren't defiling a zr1 by doing so, so maybe i would go modded zo6 route

[oldschool69]

Just buy all three.

MODS PLEASE MOVE THIS TO OFF TOPIC.



Thanks.

[DaBears]

Yes please move to off topic. Its frankly insulting for someone to come in here in a crappy economy and say "hey i have a budget of over 100k what should I buy?" "and here is a list of what I already own"

Seriously? I drive a crappy 2006 Kia Spectra because I dont have a choice.

Buy whatever makes you happy and stop rubbing your "budget" in peoples faces.

fixed for you

but if I had that kind of money it would be a 2013 dodge viper or jaguar xkr-s. or sell all of them and get this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_M600

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.

[blackSSRS]

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...

[4DoorRocket]

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.

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.

[drummer5679]

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?

[SleepWarz]

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