Well I guess you haven't owned more preludes than I have driven then huh...

I never said Z06's were of low quality I just think for 50k you can do a lot better show me where I ever said that ANY vette was a POS or anything of that nature, you can't even show me where I have EVER TRASHED a Z06. Nope you are right I have never owned one but as far as driving one I have driven 2 and on a few occasions, a guy at work bought one and has let me drive it on a few occasions and although it's fun to drive I wouldn't spend 50k on one I just don't think they are worth it! hell look at how quick ANY car depreciates! for 50k I can buy another house! and thats something that goes UP in value.

2004 Chevrolet CORVETTE Z06 1YY37 Hardtop 2D $53,515.00
Used 2002 Corvette Z06 etc etc... 20,000M $38,000.00

Assuming it's in perfect condition a difference of $15,515.00
in only 24 months

2004 BMW M3 0437 Coupe 2D $49,771.00
Used 2002 BMW M3 etc etc $40,700.00

Assuming perfect condition a difference of $9,000.00

Tell me which is the better buy and investment? Wait I would rather LOSE $6,000 on a status symbol.

sorry for posting this statement again. but what the hell are you saying?
are you running 30psi?
we launched at no more that 20mph so where are you getting 40 from? and if you think you are going to hook up anymore from a stop your crazy. (even with your drag radials)

People who purchase Zo6's and vipers etc. obviously dont care about the money or depriciation. They buy them because they are fun and it is what they want.

Im quite sure if money was there worry they would share your opinion.

good point though, that is a lot of cash.

Most domestics do call ALL imports ricers, even the european imports which is especially funny!

Well if your buddy flow is the one in the red firebird that the other week was trying to take shortcuts around the pilons in the batcave and cut people off then he might not have a mullet but he sure is a retard. Anyways it's a joke so you want some tissues? And are you trying to say you have never joked any firebird owner or just plain joked about the 80's firebirds that had the big bird painted on the hood? I know even in my domestic days we joked the hell out of em, now the t/a's that came with 400's were a formidible ca but we still joked about that stupid bird!

You don't think a BMW m3 is a status symbol?

Of course an import is going to have a lower depreciation rate, shit, according to KBB my car is worth about 5k private party, what's a 1995 Civic worth KBB? About the same. Why? It's an import.

Anyway, you cant rely on KBB prices, just like Supras, I'm sure Z06's are pretty rare and difficult to find, which greatly increases the cost of one.

This is a car enthusiast site, not Martha Stewart living, of course people will want to spend exorbitant amounts of money on a vehicle.

Tire pressure can play a major role in a win / loose situation.

My Formula is black, and I very, very, very rarely go out to "meets."

And a 4th gen FBody is a very different thing from a 3rd gen. I'm not fond of 3rd gens at all, in any way shape or form.
