you think that about vettes? Goto an auto cross some day ... you'll see quite a few z06's, i also have a friend thats in his mid 20's that had a z06. He in a midlife crisis? Hes not trashy at all ... he owns a classic car dealership. He no drives a 04 cobra. He hates it and wants his z06 back.

Oh and BTW - I think its really funny that my Dad prefers his FD over his Vette. He feels guilty that he likes the FD better. I need to get him to a Rotary meet. He used to go to all the Vette shows and meets but got burned out on it.
You see, He gets it he understands that a little 1.3 litre engine is doing something amazing. He gushes about how cool his FD is all the time he is worse than a 17 y/o.

I all honesty I would take the Vette over the WRX in a minute.
I dont hate Corvettes just dont like them. They are EVERYWHERE. No joke they are as common as Camaros here. Everyone drives them. There is this upper middle class neighborhood near me, I should go take some pictures. There is a Vette in every 4th garage, no joking, my wife and I took a ride through one evening and we were laughing at all the Vettes, C-5's too all of them.
I dont like Chevettes either but no one seems to care about that hate.

I used to be classed with vettes in my TII at first and I used to be neck and neck with them. Z-06's too in A - Street Prepared. They were pretty worked Vettes. My tII at the time had 225 RWHP and no boost control. Due to the Rules in ASP that does not allow one.
So then I added a boost controller and cheated in the class with 242 RWHP. I was creaming them.
Then I was ratted out and was bumped into BP where I had 1 competitor in my class for 1 Autocross over the entirel season.
I missed beating up the Vettes and Vipers.
I was them bumped up the ASP and I got to beat up the Factory 5 Cobras well, except for 1 dude that was amazingly fast. He was running 12" wide slicks and had gobs of power I think he had a big block and weighed in at 2200 lbs.
So yeah I still dont like Vettes. Tell your friend to loose that tank of a Cobra and get an FD.

ok, guy has $45,000 to spend on a NEW sports car, what does
he buy?
A WRX so he can be mistaken for a 20 year old kid?
A EVo VIII so he can drive a hot rod Lancer compact car?
A Mustang ?
So I ask again- what does he buy?
No stupid answers like a FD and use the money left over for
mods. Something brand new, with warranty and some resale to boot.

You can all hoot and holler all you want about who cares what
other people think, but you know its true that you would
want something with a little bit of status.
