With that said, not a huge fan of Vettes. They just scream redneck, and they look so outdated after every re-design. To many chicks drive them to, so it borders on being a chick car. I came close to buying one, but I'm not a balding 40 year old white guy with a beer gut, so it didn't fit me. Went with the Benz instead

Vette: Trailer Park dude who won the lottery.

AMG Benz: Big Baller

vette's about the drive on the road... not about the look sitting in traffic. maybe you are not a car guy? no big deal, some guys are just status guys and don't care about the ride... like having a BMW. they look great in front of a bar or doing some hair brained shit on the freeway... but you'll never see one out in the mountains doing serious shit on the road. you'll never see a Mercedes either.

and I've had the vette down dirt roads most guys wouldn't even take their SUV's down...a vette is a really fast, quick car for a very cheap price that you can drive just about anywhere on a daily basis.

Complete fail.

LOL, this absolutely makes no sense is about as wrong as it can get. Are you saying a ZR1 Vette is actually a better daily driver and "ride" than a similarly priced Benz and BMW? You're completely wrong. The ZO6 and ZR1 are actually horrible daily drivers. I've test driven a Z06. Because of the light composite materials they use for those cars, they are very uncomfortable on regular roads and you get massive amount of rattle on regular roads. If you go over a small bump in a ZR1 you will feel like you ran over a 5 foot pot hole lol. The Z06 and ZR1 are actually track cars. Ideally, they are meant for smooth roads, and a straight line. That's why some people don't like them.

On the other hand, if you have $100K porche, benz and BMW you get performance AND comfortable ride, as they have better suspensions and are built better. It is cliche, but German engineering for cars is light years ahead of Ford and Chevy.

Don't ever tell a car guy that you think a ZR1 is a "great, comfortable daily driver." They'll look at you like strange and think you are a moron lol.

A previous poster correctly noted that these vettes are meant to go very fast, in a straight line. He is spot on (though both vettes will do well on a smooth track).

And finally, you say the Vette is not about the "look" but the "ride" lol? Dude, it is the loudest "look at me" car produced lol.

Beautiful car, no doubt about it!

I found the corvette to have a really loose backend.. sooo damn easy to spin the tires on that car, thou I am sure with more experience with it I could get a hang of it.

195mph corvette http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0e2_1293170127

actually I believe I wrote 'vette' not z06 or zr1... feel free to check if you'd like... my vette was 37K in 2004. pretty sure no 40k German car is gonna beat a vette. vette's are built the way they are to keep cost down... do you actually think Chevy can't pull a German car into a shop, take it a part and see what the fucking deal is? seriously dude.

drove a vette on a daily basis for 7 years, great driver... fwy, dirt roads, in town etc... plenty of 600 mile days as well. very comfortable to drive. great gas mileage as well and oh yeah.... lol
