Two Fast Cars In Garage

abm89 · 11-11-2020, 09:22 PM

I'm doing fine now as each car does its thing way better than the other. Even when I eventually install an intake and downpipe in my WRX, making it faster than my Z in a straight line, the dynamics are still totally different.

I already know what I'd replace the WRX with for a daily if I need to, but the Z is something i don't think I can just get rid of unless it is broken beyond repair or if someone offered me a decent amount for it.

Two fast cars are easy. I got three: '11 370Z, '8 C6 Z06, and '96 C4 LT4; all are black and have 6sp manual transmission. The C4 has nearly 400 whp and is naturally-aspirated. To fix the predicament, I'm on the hunt for a black '3 C5 Z06 to start a collection of Z06s. I would like to own a manual, black one from each generation except the '63 because, simply, I can't afford that.

That's a good idea, I have not been told that before.

I had a 2016 Challengers 6.4 Scat Pac last summer but felt much more out of control (driver) than the Camaro. Yet it was fast. Right now I can't think of anything I would want to add to the 'fast' part of the garage.

Thanks for all the replies and comments. They were exactly what I needed to defrag my brain and get some brain cells lined up for clear thinking. Believe me when I say, this isn't he first time I have gone through this drill and the few times I have downsized to two cars, it wasn't long before I was back to four or five cars. So I will keep and drive what I have. I bought them all for a reason and they are sitting there ready to go when I am.

Glad you came back to your senses. Remember for the next time, the only solution is to add one fast car. Welcome back.

I have six cars, including two 370Z (2018 Stick and 2019 Auto) a 2017 MX-5 (wife) and I do not regret it.

I was just looking at the 2003 Z4 3.0i last night. Another one of my favorite cars that I sold a few years ago. I may pick one of those up. Guess I would need to rent some storage for that.

We have a few things in common...

2019 Camaro ZL1 M6, 650hp, 650 ft/lbs Crush
2020 Nissan 370Z Nismo 6spd Pear White

Have 3 more, but most notably a 53 Meteor. True survivor my Grandfather purchased new.

Definitely keep the 370 and the Camaro. Then look for a Merc of your own too!

Thought about buying the ZL1 this past summer instead of the 2SS ... talked myself out of it because I would not be doing any track racing ... how stupid is that.

Never downsize! Add something else fast and red instead.

Zoren 370 · 11-15-2020, 06:40 PM

I don’t know about being fast!

You no longer got the Z. You still have the Vette?

No the vette is gone but I surely miss it as its the last front engine Vette.

But there are about 100K plus of C7 out there...so its not gonna be a classic.
But mine won 3 awards chosen by Oliver Gavin, Rockenfeller and Antonio Garcia at the Corvette corrals out of 200 vette.

Must have been slim pickings.
