Can you really get a brand new c6 for 43k? I had no idea that was possible, but a good fucking deal IMO. Is that the base models?

new 1lt base coupes are 43-46k i beleive.. when you by "new previous year" they drop below that too.

To have a rational discussion, you need to be coming from a rational basis with your comments. The new Camaro has outsold the Mustang since it came out and anyone waiting for the minor redesign of the Mustang is not going to change those stats. Like it or not, the style of the Camaro pops much more than the Mustang and people put a high priority on style when buying cars like the Mustang or Camaro. Until Ford totally redesigns the Mustang, the Camaro will continue to outsell it. Performance doesn't matter to the majority of car buyers (at least minor variances in performance). The SS is fast enough for 98% of Camaro buyers. The 2% where it isn't will buy the slightly faster 5.0 or the GT500 or ZL1.

I agree w/ much of this, but I believe camaro sells have only been above the mustangs because of the lack of being in the market for so long. So many guys are diehards and didn't have an opportunity to buy one for what nearly 10 years? Of course their sales are going to be higher. The camaro was greatly promoted as well w/ its lack of being on the road for some time. It's a sharp looking car and performs well for it's weight... I personally just think it looks too much like a hot wheels car. Their is no arguing though that the 2011 5.0 is a far better deal than the camaro... same w/ the v6 cars. Performance, cost to mod, and design in my opinion are all better w/ the mustang. I think the interior on the mustang is leaps above the camaro as well...

lol.. you realise if anything.. a 70k GT500 is WAY more of a Boy racer turned mid lift chrisis Douche than a vette.. considering you can get into a base c6 coupe for 43ish K brand new.. ..just sayin...

GT500 is not near 70K MSRP, but maybe that was covered already. 13 GT500 is cheaper than the ZL1.

I remember when he bought that car and it was stock, now he's knockin-out TT packages like it's going outta style!

maybe its my old age.. but if i had an extra 100k laying around for a G.. i would get a bigger house.. not a 100k+ car

Agreed!

I'd love to take a Gallardo out to the country backroads through the twisty turns between McKinney and Sherman. I don't need a twin turbo one since you can't use it through a turn anyways. I just want to hear that uncorked exhaust in the countryside! I heard Taylor's car Friday night at the meet and that car sounds perfect! I wanted to check it out, but I didn't want to bother him.

I'm single, I need a smaller house(less to clean), time to be a 30k millionaire and lease a baller whip from Autoflex!!!

It isn't the fastest, it's a heavy AWD 500HP car, but, the feeling while driving is nice and responsive. Of course I'd have an 800HP coupe with draglites to satisfy my dragracing needs, but for going-out and drinking like a cockjockey on Fri/Sat night, the Gallardo gets my vote.

my problem with the one Gallardo i was in ( i think at 2006 E gear car)..was when the owner went "check this out" and went WOT.. and i said " is that it???"

i would be mad the few times i put my foot down and my 100k car was slow as balls..

and to mod those cars = $$$$$$$$... i will have to stick to my vette for now

Pretty sure that was over an auto ZL1, one with a standard is at 100hp less.

Either way, GM will be forced to step their game which is good for everyone.

Much like you, I have no brand name loyalty.
But I do find it very amusing when fan bois bets butt hurt.



Leave a car alone... ??? You mean, leave it .... stock?

Why the F*@# would you want to do that?

FGTs, Gallardos are just begging to be twin turbo'd!!

My next project will be about 3400lbs, AWD, twins and make just over 800whp on 93 octane, without methanol or torco and I'll call it done.

I've driven all of the latest "supercars", and the Gallardo is by far my favorite. It feels like a gokart. I actually didn't like the two Ford Gts I've driven. I guess it's because they are the last true no traction control/stability/etc cars built, and not surprisingly, there's more wrecked ones than any other car in its class. As for the Gallardo, I like the fact you can get behind the wheel, hit the key, have fun, and who gives a fuck if some guy's 88 LX is faster. Unfortunately you can no longer get a true stick-shift in a new Gallardo/Ferrari 458 :-( I too hold no loyalty to any manufacturer, I've owned them all. I'd dump all my shit for a Gallardo, but I can't justify a $30k car, much less a $100k+ car due to the fact that I am out of town 90% of the time.

trust me if i had the bank roll i would have a FGT over any current GM product...

im not a Vette or GM fan boi...

the C6 just happens to be my current weapon of choice...Like i said a big part of it is local tuners... If i didnt have my vette i would get another Supra.

if i could leave a car alone..i would get a FGT or a Gallardo and just be glad being slow stock and pimp it.

That's wrong. The GT500 has more than 130hp more.

i cant afford a TT FGT or Gallardo im stuck with the poor mustang folks in a used vette..
