man i have it bad, I want my car lol
I wont lie, I have been car shopping...........
I drove a Jaguar F Type R............Pure orgasmic sound, looks and speed.
I wish this was on my list of replacements but for certain reasons it can not.
from there I went and drove an Aston Martin Vantage V8, the Aston has always been my dream car, I love its lines even though they are starting to show their age. I drove their "base model" if you can say that about a 115k car, but thats exactly what it was, a base model. a 6 speed manual that releases about a 1" from the top, a stock exhaust that has no heart (did I mention how awesome the F type R is? LOL). it road ok, a bit boring, the power you would think with 430hp and 400ftbs id be a bit more excited to tell you, but I have been ruined by boost and the car just felt flat. It makes me sad to say the car ive always dreamt about is boring and old hahahaha. though i will say i sat in a vantage V12s and started it up, and if i could afford the 215k asking price id of bought it on the spot hahahaha! sounded better then the F type R and trust me that is hard to do.
So two of my favorite cars, now off the list of possible replacements. whats left on the list you ask?
1. Corvette Z06, murdered out black yummy looking
2. Camaro Z28, this car is one Mean mother and 23-25k cheaper then the Z06, downside? its very very track made, no refinement whats so ever. i can add it, but defeats the purpose of the car no?
3. Mustang GT350(R?).... Really like the look of the GT350, but ford is doing it all wrong, why offer a gt350 and then add a gt350r that will be more track day focus? why not just offer those as options? waiting on more information on this one. though at a starting price of 53k it is by far the cheapest pill to swallow, and offers more refinement then the Z28
4.... and only since the past couple of days, but a slightly used Porsche Carrera S/4S, really starting to like this car, but at the price used of a new Z06 doesnt make a whole lot of sense other then to be different then the group I hang out with.
any wild cards you ask? GTR and/or Viper GTS.... If I can find one of these when I am ready for the price id like to spend for either one, they just may jump to the front of the list but at this time I give the Lead to the Z06 with a slight edge over Z28
Really looking forward to the car shows.
My Z? goes up for sale in spring after I pull it out of storage and pass its first emissions test. Im in no hurry to sell and will wait for the right offer, shouldnt be to hard to get
