    Let's Play A Game...

    Out of the cars listed below, what would you rather own and why? I've listed prices that would be associated with the year/mileage so savings could come into factor with your answer as well. Also, all cars are 100% stock. HP #'s and 1/4 Times are stock times that have been posted by magazines.


    (03-04 Cobra w/under 40,000 miles - 390 HP, 12.90's 1/4, etc.) $18-23k

    (02-04 Z06 w/under 25,000 miles - 405 HP, 12.70's 1/4, etc.) $22-28k

    (07-09 GT500 w/under 15,000 miles - 500 HP, 12.70's 1/4, etc.) $35-40k

    (03-06 Viper w/under 15,000 miles - 500 HP, mid 12's, etc.) $40k-50k

    (06-09 Z06 w/under 10,000 miles - 505 HP, 11.70's, etc.) $45-50k

    (2012 GT500 Brand New - 550 HP, 12's 1/4, etc.) $50k

    (2012 ZL1 Camaro Brand New - 550+ HP, 11-12 1/4, etc.) $50k

    03/04 Cobra, best bang for buck, 2 year only rarity, and just flat out the coolest looking of above listed cars.

    This is a 100% un-biased opinion.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    I'd say if you wanna turn heads get the viper. Nothing else on that list would come close to the "oooh look at that" effect. Best bang for the buck would probably be the cobra. Most likely gonna get lower et's for your dollar with it and still have a cool car that you don't have to worry about fixing every other week.

    Terminator

    -damn near bullet proof engine

    -potential, potential, potential

    -best bang for your buck without question compared to others

    -more practical (though not by much) than the viper or vette

    -huge aftermarket

    -the new camaro is gayness

    ^This is the car I would get since I am into cars. However, if I was just rich and wanted some females, the Viper lol

    this will prob come as no surprise - but i truly believe this - the C6 Z06.....

    and really - 'vettes aren't that unpractical... they look like they are, but their only downfall is not having rear seats... there's just as much trunk room (or more) than my T/A, and it holds a set of golf clubs like a glove! plus, as a car to race around, you can't get any better... the torque on that 427 is like that of a modified cobra, and the car just flat out hauls in completely stock form, let alone once you add just a few mods...

    Only place i see it being unpractical is for daily driving... and only because of the ride... it is BONE JARRING stiff....

    ^^^ I don't think the C6Z's are overly stiff at all, then again I drove a car with 750lb. coilovers daily so what do I know...

    I would go for the Viper if it is a GTS or an ACR, hate the roadsters for some reason.

    If not, C6Z all the way, although they do like to blow up on track every now and then (road course).

    C6 Z06 is my pick. See sig.

    Most of those who know me are aware that I had a '04 Terminator before this car. Both cars are cool for sure and are hard to beat modded.

    I got the chance to drive my boss' 2008 Viper when it was almost new. It was cool but not refined at all and I could not see myself driving the thing for any length of time without wanting to scream get me outta this thing.

    BTW the C6 Z06 does not ride that hard at all. I took a 6 hour trip home in mine and felt completely rested when done. No back or leg discomfort at all. Hell, even the wife did not complain when we took the PA turnpike. lol
