[QUOTE="exdeath, post: 10512566, member: 56343"] Holy necro zombie invasion! I love how Z owners are so conceited about how the GT500 needs 200 HP more to keep up and how they act innocent to the weight difference. Watch this: "Yeah just like you Z owners need 400 more HP to keep up with a bike with only 200 HP? Crappy Chevy, if my bike had 600 HP... blah blah blah" Perspective is a bitch isn't it? Sorry some of us have taste and want a little style and utility to our cars than just an age old carbon copied wind tunnel designed hollow resin wedge, even if it is a slightly slower. It's about different cars and tastes, if it wasn't, you'd be driving a 25 lb shopping cart with an aero kit and 700 HP, or a 2500 lb Fox with a built motor instead of your slow heavy 3200 lb Vette. But you wanted to say you have a Corvette instead, so here we are. Perspective is a bitch. "super cars" are boring. Anybody with enough money can spend $70k-$1 million to make a lab perfect wedge out of paper mache in a wind tunnel and throw a 7L motor in it and expect it to be fast. No fawking shit, thats why all those cars, Vettes, Lambos, Ferraris, all the same basic boring tried and true lab perfect formula. Taking an "ordinary" street car and making it fast is more exciting and is true muscle car spirit. FYI I don't like Vettes [U]or[/U] GT500s, more specifically the majority of the stuck up crowd that owns them. You talk to guys with ratty ass F bodies, Mustangs, Hondas, etc, and they will talk about what they've done, what they want to do, show you things they did themselves, and they are proud of inventive makeshift things they did to do things, etc. It's all about the cars and the hobby. You talk to Vette guys and 99% of them just want you to know that it has 400 HP (and various other stock things memorized from the brochure) and most importantly they emphasize that it cost $60,000 while puffing up their chest through a cloud of cigar smoke. You talk to GT 500 guys and 99% of them have never had a Mustang before, they just want to to know that it's a Shelby (cool story bro, Shelby had dick to do with that car, hes a washed out has been sell out that just puts his name on shit now like Lucas) and that it cost them $60,000. It's not about the cars, but about epeening wallet size. Most of the car shows these days you just buy your trophy, they give it to whoever spent the most at the biggest hollywood botique shop with the most expensive gaudiest Foose wheels, and they give it to the puffed up owner who can't even change his own oil. /soapbox [/QUOTE]
