Help me pick a car.

i like the new evo

but the new c6 is hawt

 

[undesputable]

get a dodge ram SRT-10, or whatever you want, but whatever you do dont get the GTO.

 

[KillingTime]

Whatever you do, get it used and pay it in cash. Nothing ruins the enjoyment of something more than having to make payments on it.

As far as buying a house instead of a car, its not THAT different. Just because the house might go up in value does not make it an asset.... if you live in the house it's not putting money in your pocket so just like buying a car, it's not an asset.

I would say wait around for a used c6 Vette.... in the next year or so a few should start popping up and you can get a much better deal on a still practically new car.

a house is just a bigger debt...thats the difference between a car and a house.

1st off. The Z06 won't be released until the production 06 models come out in september.

2nd, the chances of there being a Z06 convertable are slim to none because it goes against the principles of the z06.

3rd, they put on an independent rear suspension that people are always b*tching about.

1st, the Z06 will be officially introduced in January and selected dealerships will be taking pre-orders.

2nd, What "principles" of the Z06 does the convertible go against?
I've heard convertible rumors from several reputable sources.
It's a consumer drivin-market.
Z06 owners have been wanting that options since the Z06 was introduced in the late-90's (Technically, the first Z06 was an option in 1963 which in part was a 36 gallon gas tank)

3rd, Not sure why anyone would ***** about IRS on a Mustang, since that old chassis was a platform that dated back to around the mid-70's or so.

1st, the Show model Z06 was just released yesterday, and its not going to be released until next production year.

Second a convertable weighs more than a hard top, and the point of a Z06 is lightweight and fast engine, and a convertable would not do that.

3rd: I dunno people just don't like it.

The Convertible will only weigh about 100lbs. more than the coupe.

Plus, with all the aluminum and carbon fiber and 500 HP, 100 lbs. won't mean much.

 

[Shike]

2005 WRX STi is the way to go. This car has some serious ballz.

 

[saki]

ill second the SRT-10

100 lbs is a tenth of a second difference in 1/4 mile. It is a big difference. It's also not carbon fiber, quit making stuff up.

 

[ShizamDaMan]

Z06 is all about performance. I highly doubt they'll ever make a vert model.

Besides, with the Z51 package the current C6 vert has more than enough balls to mess with most cars on the road anyway.

 

[MetalFortress]

I'm not too big on the GTO. Fast, but the horrible visibility makes it feel more like I'm driving a big tank than actually giving me a "connected to the road" feel.

My vote? Early to mid 90's used Acura NSX, and mod it up a bit.
