But to say the cars are just hype because someone can make "x" car faster is very much a ricer mentality. It's easy to throw $$$ at a car to make it perform but if you're buying a ZR1, GTR or hell even a base C6 it's not all about performance. If that was the case we'd all be driving clapped out Hon-duh civics with $20K dumped into saying the cars mentioned above are all junk.
So is a clapped out 11 second Civic nicer than a nicely done 2nd gen or a C6? Of course not because not everything is about performance. My buddy has the same mentality, his Z28 is a raging POS, he dumped gobs of $$$ into the drivetrain and that's it. It's multicolored, has power nothing, no AC, no interior AT ALL, no radio, manual steering, TH400 with 4.56 gears etc. He used to bust my balls because he took down my LS1 Z and my 'vette saying LS1's are overrated blah blah blah. At the end of the day I could drive my car anywhere, use the AC, listen to music, had 4 gears in my trans and didn't get 8MPG. So is my car better than his? That's objective, however it's sad that a 150 shot of giggle gas would put my car near his "race" car on the track.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
