:1orglaugh:1orglaugh very true though I will guarantee that you wouldn't take your porche 1/2 the places I've driven the vette... I used the vette for a daily driver, and went down dirt roads, fire trials etc shooting pussy... hell I went place you prolly wouldn't even take yer jeep... never mind the porche... :winkwink:

did you really just quote the Gumball Rally? :1orglaugh

What can I say I'm an old bike racer, Franco from that movie was my hero!

I don't think it would take a $100g to make a Cadillac or a Corvette competitive with anything German or Italian. Every year the car world tightens up the gap. If you are just looking for performance, All these cars have ring times that are impressive and better than mere mortals will ever be able to realize.

A lot of people are hung up on brands or brand loyalty, I have owned Chevy's, Ford's, Dodge's, Pontiac's, Mercedes, BMW's, Mini Coppers, Porsche, VW's, Audi's etc.

Out of all of those brands the one that stands out the most would be the BMW's for me. Right now I own an Audi and a Ford F-150, go figure. And the Audi is going back before the Ford, lol!

I agree, the thing that kinda bother me a bit is the interior of the V. perfect car for me would be chassis and motor GM and coach RR. and there is your $100K :thumbsup

For me, their slogan says it all. The Ultimate Driving Machine. Couldn't put it better myself, no matter what model of BMW you get into, it is a pleasure to drive.

I agree, though I will probably keep driving caddy as I have great relationships with the dealer... which is important as well I think... in the end it's just a car I drive for 2-4 years and move on to another.

guess I'll need to drive one someday but I gotta say I have never seen a BMW being 'driven' and that's a fact... with the exception of youtube that is... hell I beat the shit out of some guy in '3 or 5 whatever' with my 2002 deville in the twistys :2 cents:

For me it would be Porsche. They just do what I like a car to do.

Yea I loved my 911's you can't go wrong with either! Still need to get a 356 :(

Just go to a dealer and drive an M3 already!

just really happy with the caddy's *shrugs* and I lost mucho respect for the beemrs anyway after reading the reviews stacking them against the v coupe... to me the v coupe doesn't really handle that well after coming from a vette so I can't really imagine that beemer is gonna be interesting to me. if i needed to go 'better' than the caddy I would go semi exotics like the audi r8 which is really just a cheapo lambo as audi bought out lambo anyway... now when I need a sedan I'll think about what's out there with no real loyalty to GM :2 cents:

here ya go:

Edmund's is a joke, they are like X-Biz for crying out loud.

:winkwink::thumbsup

Next time I am in LA lets go cruising for bitches in your Caddy!

IMHO Mercedes all the way.

About performance, i don't remember where i heared or saw a review about performance, and Z06 was having a performance a bit over some Ferraries, BUT the materials used, the confort, etc was impossible to compare.

I guess this is the main difference when you have to decide which car you want, nowaday most cars have a performance that is above everyones daily needs, so eaither if your car makes it up to 60mph in 6sec or in 5.8 secs it's not a big issue, ir it has 300 or 305HP is the same, if the max speed is 180mph or 190mph, the same, do you really drive that fast? So, i would pay more attention to the confort and the details, and i think in this aspects Mercedes, Ferrari, and other european brands are the best ones.

:thumbsup

I have to agree with you there Ross, with an extra $100k, they would put it into some non essential equipment like a coffee dispenser in the console, or shinier chrome on the wheels, or into GM corporate's pockets. Not to say that the Caddy and the Vette don't have their place, North American cars have always been a little crude when compared to their European counterparts. I still remember Jeremy Clarkson laughing at the fact that the Vette still had leaf springs in its rear suspension and compared it to a carriage. Not to say that he didn't enjoy the car, but so much of GM is still mired in yesterday's technology, hell they were still pumping out pushrod V8's a few years ago.

My issue with GM in addition to technology is styling, the Merc's and Audi's and Bimmers are almost timeless, whereas GM styles look out of date within a few years.

shit, they come over to my house... we will go crusing for cheese burgers instead :thumbsup

that's intentional to hold the price down. corvette is 'everyman's race car' I drove my vette for 7 years and I gotta say it's about the best 7 year drive I ever had... first car I'v ever had that made me happy EVERYTIME I got in... and oh yeah... fuck jeremy clarkson... :2 cents:

You watch your mouth! Jeremy Clarkson is a god!

I used to own a Infiniti G35 and then briefly a M37. Those 2 would get me the occasional look here and there. I picked up a White CLS63 AMG last year. The looks have quadrupled and girls are constantly approaching the car. Guys give me thumbs up on the V8 6.3. The car is sex on wheels. It's kind of embarrassing actually. I feel like a prick valeting the thing. I don't think I could ever own a Lambo or Ferrari.

With that being said my next car is a F10 M5. I'm going to wait a year or two for them to work out the kinks.

I can see it on that car. In the day of good porn sales maybe I could convince myself but these days, my middle class values cringe at kicking out 6 figures on my ride. I wish...

Tried to race a vette in a Lexus Sc400 once. Big mistake :1orglaugh Youth...

what the hell is the point of this thread. It's just hypothetical bullshit, it doesnt make sense.

a vette is a muscle car which i never knew until i drove one...

the Mercedes for sure

So ignorant.

Go drive a new Cadillac, they're insanely fast, well built, can be driven year round anywhere and reliable. Oh, and they're pretty affordable considering it's competition.

I would take the AMG or M BMW over a CTS-V, but for $30,000 less the Cadillac is an excellent car. Anyone who thinks otherwise has never driven one and is flat out wrong.

i drive my m3 very hard. i beat it like i'm a jamican nurse

around town cutting people off in traffic?
