I love the Z cars as much as the next guy, but you're about to get seriously embarassed. You're trying too hard to glorify your car -- it's not a Ferrari. You might be able to handle a Porsche Carrera, but a 360 Modena or 360 Spyder would honey-glaze and oven roast your *** and serve it back to you with a side-dish.

Sorry, try again when you pay 100,000+ for a car, paco.

Hmmm.... I said that I will go with the Ferrari club reunion, not to race with one, my friend has 00 360 F1. Oh...I don't have to spend 100,000+ with a car to beat a Ferrari 360 believe me!

Well.... I have a SS with A lot of mod. ( Blower,suspension, ect) and the only thing missing is class, or if you mod a Z33 with a Greddy TT system, HKS Suspension and Nismo Body is the same thing, the only missing is class, I drive my friend 360 and I know what I'm talking about... if you want to buy a car for the name... OK buy it.

An SS what? Well you said blower so Im assuming its a Monte Carlo with Eaton roots type, I dont think you have a prayer against a 360 with that.

no you dont. Buy a Z06.
It's just as fast, if not faster, handles almost as good, and looks awesome (completely subjective of course) all for a fraction of the cost.

If you want an engine and a seat, Corvette all the way You know what the Chevy motto is, "Only the finest pleather."

And if it's so classy, why is it that the interior of the Corvette is the same as the interior of the Suburban my mom drives?

I'll be honest, I drove a 2002 Z06 that one of my friends owns. It amazed me. WAYYYY faster than Porsche can hope for with what they are producing! Regardless, I feel better getting into a Porsche than a Corvette and day of the week. Even the seats in the Boxster S I drive feel infinitely nicer than the pleather in the 'vette.

So, again..."You pay for what you get." If it's the speed that gets you there, I wholeheartedly endorse the Chevy Corvette. But I still prefer Porsche at the end of the day.

No, no, no! I meant...that's why I'm getting a Z I can't afford a high end Porsche, I'm in college man!

I previously drove a Boxster S, though an occaisonal cruise in my Dad's cars was admittedly the highlight of my weekends
