Default MURCIELAGO or ZR1 ???

JUST WANTED SOME OPINIONS ON THIS FORUM
(and obviously you all have the best opinion because its a corvette forum )




I'm leaning more towards the ZR1...if they were the same cost/maintenance wise, I would go with the Lamborghini...but further research showed me that I need ALOT of spare money. Oil changes and checkups are like several thousand. And I wouldn't wanna play the mod game on them because its too beautiful of a car to change the stock form.

Also, If i go with the ZR1, I wanna put on an extremely obnovious BOV, preferably the Procharger

Opinions??? Comments??? Suggestions??? Thanks!!!

This is tough, Though I think the Lambo is more of an accessory than a car. The Lambo ultimate accessory. It doesn't necessary accel at anything but its one of the most beautiful cars out there.

I'll get the Lambo If I had another Vette to play with, If I allowed only one toy, I'll get the ZR1. its more practical

I grew up on Cannonball Run, so lambos will always have a place in my heart... Having said that, and having destroyed one with a daily driven C5 on just 8psi... I'd take the ZR1.

In about 4-5 years when i get out of college, I will be looking to purchase a new car (not new, just a better one). I want to spend under 150k, but I've been doing some good research, and I can get a Murcielago with 10-20k miles on it for around 175-200k.

Or perhaps a ZR1 with low miles for around 70-80k (which I would also spend probably 10k on the mod game )

I'm leaning more towards the ZR1...if they were the same cost/maintenance wise, I would go with the Lamborghini...but further research showed me that I need ALOT of spare money. Oil changes and checkups are like several thousand. And I wouldn't wanna play the mod game on them because its too beautiful of a car to change the stock form.

I'd say you should save some for the bankruptcy court you'll be in after a few months.

You should also go ahead and debate between Gulfstream and Lear jets. Every new grad needs one.

So you just graduated from high school, and plan on being able to afford a $150,000 car in under a half decade? .... Knew you were from Cali even before I looked.
