I believe in the Beer Fairy

What I don't get is if you are rich enough to get an MC, then why not keep both?

What model did you get? New or used? Just curious....I like the MC, but not sure it would be an upgrade to me other than status.

When you make a comment like that, it makes you look like you have half of a brain.

Well by your logic then the A8 Z06 can't run better than a 10.95 since that is its official published time.

So what are your times?

On the C7 ZO6 forum, you shouldn't say that you "upgraded".

That's how I feel when I see your posts but I do get a chuckle out of how most of your posts ooze insecurity.

Amazing car that you traded in and an amazing car that you drove away with. Ignore the internet warriors.

I also have a ctsv so I don't see a reason to keep the z, plus I had liquidity in it so I used it as the down payment. This was my first time driving a 200k super car so I had no clue how they justify the cost. On the way home I warned my wife on how rough the drive will be cause the zo6 drives really nice for a sports car, boy was I wrong the McLaren soaks up bumps and there's hardly any road noise like a Range Rover, it really make the z06 feel not great. I always been an American car guy but this last year my wife traded in a Tahoe for the Range Rover and for the first time I understand why some people refuse to buy American!
Some people are gonna say that it cost double then the z06 that's true but when u drive it you will understand that the car is worth every cent, I think the 570s is the deal of the decade!

I don't mean to ruffle any feathers some of you are not gonna like my thoughts, just trying to give you my honest opinion. My 16 ctsv is awesome and the z06 was also incredible!
