DTS are sweet and smooth cars man. Your dad tracked his? lol thats awesome. My dad rented one for a week last spring and I had so much fun taking it out at night. Nothing like roaring by people in this massive *** cadillac!

I am looking forward to a track day. I think it will be a lot of fun.

kills me to hear you talk about them like that. everyone has different tastes and obviously if there is physical limitations for you to be able to drive it, then that is also a game changer. Personally, I think they look great. Like a modern take on the original Z-cars... with a bit of the essence of the GTR. Interior is vastly improved upon vs the 350 (minus that one funky gauge). It has the power the 350 should have had, and it has the fancy rev match on the 6spd. If my car was near stock, I would think I would have already traded it in on one.

+1.. I really like them too. I test drove one and looked at trading mine in. but as you said ive got too much money into it. They offered me 10 for mine... So im still thinking about buying one once I get my subaru paid off.

LOL, I knew you'd jump on that one, you know I am no hater!!!...yes, physical limitations, plus as we talked about, I fell in love with the 350, chit, I cannot even safely drive the 350 roadsters from lack of leg room in the cabin. Crash that and good bye legs! That was the reason I had the vette before it. Which my Z destroys on all accounts.

I just dislike the choppiness of certian bodylines on370...plus, I have not driven one yet, only sat in one, so it is only a semi informed opinion, on aesthetics not a humble unbiased one.

The Z ought to be the essential sports car, Aaron, yours is a damn super car, I believe you remember me referring to it as a "Ferrari eater" (not a term I'd use lightly)

that's a bit of an exaggeration. a ferrari is on another level regardless which car is faster or has more HP

It was Venture I purchased not a windstar my bad. Has a 6" flip down with a VHS player up front so the haters behind me can watch titles like Heavy weights and Jumanji.

I had to put a remote start in one of these about 2 weeks ago and i just thought it was such a ridiculous option. The WB edition venture with vhs, really? They just slapped a bugs bunny emblem on the side and put in a horseshit av system it makes me laugh.
