don't judge me

[greenformula92]

so i had the rare oppurtunity today to drive a 07 Z06. now i know most (not all) corvette guys think they are on another level then us. but i have to say it was the fastest, most comfortable, and smooth (i mean gear shifting), gripped the road like glue and is probobly the best car ive ever driven in stock form. the power is rediculous. i almost fell in love, but reality set in that i can't afford one of these. now im a pretty big guy and besides the fact that my hat got in the way getting out i had plenty of room. maybe one day i will have a chance to own a vette to park next to my 4th gen. but it was still a very fun experience to say the least. it had been a very long time since i drove something that got my adrenaline running

[LS1Hawk]

If I ever buy another sports/muscle car it will be a Corvette. Doesn't need to be a Z06. I'd be perfectly happy with the base coupe with the LS3.

[Blacdout96]

I don't like the ZR1, the ONLY Vette I like is the Z06, period.

[maroman88]

why do u think i bought one? my love is fbody's, but holy crap wat another world it is driving a vette, even my c5 with base suspension, its so much more refined

[Z28 Heritage]

I'd only take this Vette.:mrgreen:

so a black z06 with black rims, and tints. lol

but to OP for a 70k+ car it better handle like that and have that power lol. i drive my brothers vette around sometimes, a 96 lt4 and it drives really well, much better than any fbody ive driven. not to mention how much attention you get from people on the road

[Frosty]

Why would anyone judge you? There's a reason a Corvette costs more than a Fbody and there's a reason the car is better in just every area too. ;)

It might not be much but damn does it look fine!

[NastyEllEssWon]

That looks like crap. Looks like an unfinished paint job. I hope this isn't a new "thing".

bettaaa.Not that bad.:lol:

[greenformula92]

oh i would take a base....i would take a LS1 vette even....not a fan of LTX vettes. if the price was right id even take one with some damage on it and fix it up as long as it was cosmetic only

[Tsar]

That looks like crap. Looks like an unfinished paint job. I hope this isn't a new "thing".
Matte black "thing"/"fad" has been around for a while, it hasn't REALLY caught on, but you can still spot some examples of it..

[redsoxsstink]

i drove a firetruck red c6 convertible. now i know what your thinking what kinda self respecting man would get caught in a red vette. well this thing was saaawwweeeeetttt chirpped 2 into3 and i wasnt on it full. what a blast. just showed me another reason i need to get a vette when i hit it big

[V]

Hell... after driving my V, i lost almost all interest in F-bodies.

More specifically, I was talking about modern cars, not 30's-50's stuff.

[BigAls87Z28]

Oh boy, a fat cat fish...

Z06 is a sexy car, and its even better when it got the ZR1's brakes/wheels/suspension/aero package for the new Carbon edition. Id put a Z06C vs a ZR1 any day.

[Tsar]

More specifically, I was talking about modern cars, not 30's-50's stuff.
I've seen it on new MB's, SLR included, 350z's, and plenty of Audi's :shrug:

[BonzoHansen]

I've seen it on new MB's, SLR included, 350z's, and plenty of Audi's :shrug:

and it looks like ass on those cars too.

[Tsar]

Never said it didn't, I just pointed out that it's not only on "30-50 stuff".

[WildBillyT]

Never said it didn't, I just pointed out that it's not only on "30-50 stuff".

Nah, it's my bad. You can see matte stuff on 30s-50s rides all the time and it looks decent, like it belongs. On newer stuff (urethane bumpers, really) it looks like ****. I was wondering if it was just a few modern cars being "modified" or if it was becoming a "thing" for modern car owners to do.

I rank matte paint right up there with truck nuts on a modern car.

[madness410]

hahah idk i really just saw the pictures...i like the way it looks

[j0n]

But, we are better than you silly f-body people. :nod:

:shrug:

[Frosty]

Absolutely! ****, I can't say that any more lol

[Tsar]

Indeed, this is especially funny because you have a turd gen :lol:

[Frosty]

F U :rofl:

[BigAls87Z28]

Id like to see that "turd" gen against some of the 4th gens around here.

Lets duit up.

It should run low 11s right? :rofl::rofl:

[BigAls87Z28]

Against you? Low 11's should put you deep in the rear view mirror. Far enough were they wont know if you are a LT1 Camaro or a Geo Storm.

[LTb1ow]

Erm?

I was referring to his link to the TGO thread with the guy saying not only should Frosty be in the 11s it should also pull the wheels on the highway.

You can go cry over your lack of running turd gen now.

[Frosty]

Lets duit up.

No, my tune is way off remember? :rofl:

[Firebird92]

everything i seen about the ZR1,
its the best 'stock' vette

under 3500 pound
600 horsepower
6 speed
supercharged :drool:

and stock for stock it can beat A LOT of car's on the road with the right driver.

now if you drive it i mean really drive it the power will shake it apart all that fiberglass and plastic

[Frosty]

Where are you coming up with that statement?

[Tsar]

What's your point? I've seen a Civic hatch run faster than a ZR-1, I'd still take the 'Vette (and sell it).

Older cars are the only cars i think matte looks OK on. I agree, that zo6 just looks unfinished

[BigAls87Z28]

No point, just defending the 11 sec third gen.

Whoah whoah whoah, Al...lol....I appreciate the compliment and the confidence but my GTA is NOWHERE near an 11 second car, it's barely a 12 second car :rofl:

It's a bone stock(and I mean bone stock from a long block standpoint, valve covers have never been off of it)) 144K mile L98. She's getting a bit tired but it's to be expected.

Jesus Christ on a cross! It was part of the ****in JOKE!!
I was busting Matt's balls in the end, as usual.

I did hear they were looking for drivers, I put your name in the hat.

[LTb1ow]

Bahahahaha... :mrgreen:

Only if they need the guy to drive the new camaro first and then after I run a 17 they put a real drive in and say, " Wow, with just a air intake we went 12s"

[BigAls87Z28]

"How long should I keep these tires in the water box? Im not too good at burn outs..."

[LTb1ow]

"How long should I keep these tires in the water box? Im not too good at burn outs..."

Um, the new camaro is AWD, therefore no burnout needed!!!

And with those ballin ass 22s, I should hook like a mofo!!!


:rofl::rofl:

[BigAls87Z28]

*facepalm*

[LTb1ow]

Yo man, you are the best racecar driver evaaa!!! your car is way faster than my slow ole third gen, I should get a sweet ass 4th gen too

Thanks man.

[Firebird92]

Where are you coming up with that statement?

if you watch top gear when they tested the ZR1 on there track the rear bumper started to come off and have u ever seen the plastic on the car its so thin

and i don't think anyone here can or will drive a car as hard as the guys on top gear do im looking for the video now i think it's the one with the r8 vs the zr1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4CPBfpnye0
go to 4:43 forward if you can drive your vette that hard then you sir are are awesome

[BigAls87Z28]

Thanks man.

Actually....I was looking at 4th gens. Then I realized the faults and failures all around.

third gens 4 life!
