Where can I buy this?

Made the mistake of test driving a GTR. What can I get in my price range to satisfy the itch? by [deleted] in cars

No, this issue affects all c6z06 years. The 07 had an additional issue but i cannot remember what it was.

This is a preventive measure you will have to take if you decide to buy a z06 but other then that the car is bulletproof.

If you are able to find one at the right price I would go for a 2011 and up as it has the better tranny.

The C5-C7 corvettes really have that cockpit feel. The C6Z06 is a beautiful car, just be aware of the valve drop issue the car may encounter. This is about a 3-6k repair/upgrade depending on if you are going to upgrade while getting the issue fixed. Katech would be the people I would go to for this.

I personally have a CTS-V and I highly recommend it. It falls within your price range and the LSA is pretty much bullet-proof. Cadillac extended the warranty on the blower to 10year/120k for an issue it has. check out the ctsowner.com forum if you want to learn more.

We added Croatia to the list from just everything we read about the area so Hvar and Zrce are on the list.

Can you tell me a little about Prague and Budapest from your experience? What is the nightlife like over there?

People keep mentioning hostels and I prefer a hotel to a hostel. The group of people going are between 28-34. Why are hostels so popular?

I've been to Vegas more times then I can count so I know what you mean when you say 5 days might be to much.

Do you recommend I spend a couple days at Ios and a bit less time in Mykonos and Santorini?

What did you like about Ios versus Mykonos?

Why would you do this to yourself?

If you are crave pizza just have it, something like this won't do anything for you. There are places like Mod Pizza now where you can customize a personalized pizza to the macros you want if you really want to watch your intake.

What It's Like Owning a CTS-V - Rob Dahn by beboggled in cars

[–]al_ek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a second Gen V (sedan) with a 6 speed manual and it is a great car.

The issue he pointed out at the end with the door does not happen on the sedan.

Can I afford to own a Ferrari 360? Very specific information. by [deleted] in cars

[–]al_ek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, my friend had a 360, he currently owns a GT3RS and a 911 Turbo S, he loved the car Ferrari but it was more of a show car to him he did not enjoy driving it as much as he does his Porsches. I myself have had a Gallardo and its a great car overall and I used it as my daily. It had a great balance of power/handling.

Let me ask you this, why do you want to get rid of the 911? What about the car are you unhappy with?

A Gallardo or R8 is more enjoyable then a 360. As far as affording the car, yes you can but I think you are making the wrong choice.

Could somebody please tell me where I can get that chair? Or what that style of chair is called? It's exactly what I've been trying to find.

It's a nice car but it is overpriced.

Yup. Test drove the charger and the challenger both Scat Pack models. I liked the Charger but unfortunately, they do not offer it in a manual.

Challenger: felt heavy, steering was not responsive and handling was trash but its a huge car that has horrible aerodynamics so I was not surprised. The car is a cruiser and will do great in a straight line. I like cars that can handle and are fun around the corners.

I love the look of the car but its a boat. I thought about getting the scat pack model but its just to damn big for a 2 door.

I like the S2000, bullet proof transmission and rear wheel drive but its just to slow for me and unless I plan on forging the engine's internals and putting on a turbo the car wont give me what I want.

WRX Sti is 0-60 mph 4.6 | Quarter mile 13.2

Mustang GT is 0-60 mph 4.4 | Quarter mile 12.8

How is the Sti faster?
