They're fast, handle damn near better then any stock car out there, and pretty much don't break down, wont get pulled over for illegal mods, never have to worry about smog. The list of win just keeps going on and on and on.
i know i know i know, dont worry i will get one soon enough.

Its totally different for me. The car is flat out scarier, the bike on back roads is more rewarding. Even a track day on the bike doesnt get my adrenaline going like a quick pull to 160mph in the car The only time I have had more adrenaline run thru my body on the bike was when I fell off and couldnt catch my breath for like 20 minutes lol.

So with that being said. Anyone who has a highly modded car knows how well that goes....

Would you take a modded car that will always be a PITA both due to breaking and smog/state inspection (if needed) or a 100% stock 600SS/1000SS that is stock outside of maybe removing the tag bracket.

I love driving my Z even though its pretty lightly modded, however anytime I take it out, I know *today could be the day* it could blow up the next time I drive it or maybe not, with the bike I never doubt it. And it gives me more enjoyment overall I think a good bit of that enjoyment is knowing it will be hassle free and no police will get me for a front tag, or other "issues" that might come up if you get the right police officer.

Everytime you ride a bike you have to think "could today be the day some girl texting who doesnt see me kills me, or some old lady paralyzes me so I end up like fawking Superman blowing thru a straw to move and I cant wipe my a$$, or ever jerk off again in my fawkin glife"

Yeah....Id rather blow up a motor than end up in a chair Both have their ups and downs, you have a slow pretty car so the rush you get in your Z is not comparable to what I get in mine, and I have a slow bike so I cant compare to what you get on your bike!

I think I blew a speaker in the rear deck this weekend. It's been so long since I had all the audio done I can't remember if you have to take apart all that plastic crap to reach the small ones behind your head. Anyone remember?

*****
Never mind...found it. :0]
