Gene, don't worry about what anyone else thinks, enjoy YOUR car.

I do spend time waxing my cars but, when some people ask me why I drive my cars so hard, I always tell them, if I don't and if I die tomorrow, my wife's new boyfriend will be enjoying my nice low mile virgin cars..

These cars were bulit to be driven hard, and not just a few times. If you dont take full use of this cars abilitys why buy it, yes you can cruise but also why not have fun with it.IF you think this is terrible please go buy a civic drive slow and wax it all you want and save 60k.

get off the forum and get back to waxing your precious machine and talking about how nice you're keeping it for the next owner.

The difference in postings is so night and day. From Nascar burnout to ricer burnout. If a ricer pulled off that burnout...congrats.

From pathetic corvette waxer purest...to a car guy that likes to have fun.

I drive the hell out of my machine and I guarantee you it's happier in my hands leading a life it was built for than sitting in your garages for your weekend toy when there's no chance of rain.

I spent 75k to do more than a burnout. I spent 75k to drive the best car in the world every day. i spent 75k to beat the **** out of Ford GT's, Ferrari's, Lambo's and anything else out there. I spent 75k to take a turn at 105mph reading 1.2G's on the HUD and smile. I spent 75k for the thrill of rocketing to 160 with a huge grin on my face.....every week. I spent 75k to have a machine that owns at the track and will improve my skills. And I spent 75k to do a fun burnout to share with my friends. FWIW..that burnout was followed by a highly modded 360 Modena doing the same thing. I guess he decided to spend 170k to just do a burnout right?

to some of you..get a life. to the rest. thanks!


just think...who would Zora agree with?

....wax on wax off bitches.


do what you want with it, its your car, hey if you let my drive it . i would do the same. its a lot of fun.

I'm sorry my Z is black, so anyone may think I could do that to my car. I didn't and I won't.

The rest of the clips are against the rules here.

The clip is being used in an oil commercial. I can't give further details but will once the commercial is complete.

Can you talk about the rest of the video. Did the GT driver have problems or what? Not discounting the Z at all but... Oh, nice burnout. They are your tires.

So far, the burnout of the year was the F1 car at the opening ceremony of the winter Olympics.

Interesting video - it didn't sound quite like the F1 car but it was definitely smoking.

I think I'll go marry a supermodel and keep her a virgin so her re-sale value is better.
