I appreciate the offer but I am happy with my guy. There is not much more he can do. :cheers:

Re: 911 turbo!!!!!! (stano)
I think you would you get a better tax break if you bought a stranger, like me, a new MiY ZO6 who used to live in Grand Junction, Co., kinda charity type thing...my accountant said it would fly; want his number :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :lolg: :lolg:

Re: Turbo vs. Z06 - The Long and Short of it! (Chicago ZO6)
I strongly disagree with this statement made on that website:
The Porsche is the best sports car in the world.
Am I in the minority here??????
I would not say you are in the minority here... but this post has been between 2 very good sports cars.. to each his own.. lets change it a bit.... lets compare the forthcoming GT 40...... Not to mention my favorite and i would snubb you all for an Enzo in my garage.... the best "sports car" package? any V12 Ferrari at 9000 RPM through titanium exhaust on the autobahn would get my vote.... in my opinion ferrari is the ultimate in "sports car" because they ARE a race car with some conveiniences and amenities for joe public. My opinion is that Porsche is a very good car.... they are making money hand over fist because of all the yuppies wanting a name.... I drive a Porsche.... well to me they are not worth wasting money on.. IF you want to drive it you will loose almost half of what you paid for it by putting 10k miles on it in the first 2 years.. when i took a 25K hit for 4800 miles.... you can keep the POS it wasn't THAT fun to drive... and the chicks you pick up are good for a few blow jobs before sending them back to the shallow waters they came from.. Porsche sprots cars are for those who want "european" roots without the added expense of a dancing horse.. side by side would i take a 996TT or a 360? i'm in the 360.. but this is only me.. the new GT Carerra or a Saleen S7? S7 please... its not just a money thing... its what gets YOUR heart pumping thing!!!! i can remember wanting a Countach so bad it hurt as a kid.. that is why Porshce, ferrari, Mercedes, and any number of other exotics are still in business... for guys like US!! lets end the thread by saying "we will see you on the track" it not about money, and really it isn't about a moniker.... its about that childhood dream that through hard work you have made possible!!! i know ALL of you givene the level of success a 7 figure bank account brings would not have just a Z06 in your stable..... if so then your not a true car nut..

If I had a 7 figure bank account just for cars, I would have about 25 cars in my stable (most of them classic muscle cars and sports cars). Not 1 Enzo.

After reading this I find that some of you have too much money and need to give me some. :yesnod:
In any case it comes down to whether you want to just go fast for less, or want to go fast and letting someone know you maxed out your plastic doing it. Personally I like the late last gen porsche turbos with the factory wide bodyy, but when push comes to shove I'd rather waste my money on a Z06 and go that same speed. Corvette is an Icon, it's american, and it upholds the ideals that most garage mechanics can do most things on it (though EFI kills tuning abilities of Joe Schmoe).
But the #1 reason why to get a vette:
American V8 + Awesome Suspension + Rear Transaxle + Good Looks/Aero = 1 fun car I can AFFORD!
That being said I want a 1999 Lambo Diablo TT... Black plz.
