Possibly trading in Z...what to get?

Women drive 1 series bmws, I would know, I live in Germany. Go with American muscle, for the price, nothing beats em, any model. And if you want a true performer with bang for the buck, get a Boss. Dont know too many cars that for less than 50k can beat an R8 around Laguna Seca.

One word of caution. The tires on the boss are basically a full-on track tire. Most other cars do not come this way from the factory so their OEM handling isn't as good. However, you do have to replace those tires VERY often, and at a rather high price.

True statement. You gotta admit though, for all you get with the car, $42k for a proven track performer, it cant be beat. They have them here at the AAFES car sales for MSRP, ZERO dealer mark up, and i'm still kicking myself in the arse for buying my GT when I did.

Not trying to take away from the car at all, for the price, it's amazing. Just saying that there is a bit of fine print that comes with that performance.

Are you talking about the laguna secs boss? Because the pzeros n the regular boss aren't far off from anything on any regular performance car.

American Muscle is starting to get old. The only person right now that has a good muscle car is.. i hate to say it but ford. the new 5.0 or boss. anything else is a let down. New camaro, overated. New challenger, weight to power is poor, handling is ehh. Charger, nothing good. Vette, to many on the road.

IMO, from owning both sides and driving a lot of really cool cars. Theirs nothing like any car thats... not american lol. The fit and finish is beyond any pos american cars. the performace is beyond any ameriacn muscle car. ive driven many exotic and crazily built cars and it doesnt come close to any american car.

If you want a F'n fun car and are willing to pay for it, buy a used C63 AMG Benz. By FAR one of my fav cars that i would DD. 450HP w a 4 door car (the new 2 door is ugly) way to much fun. and it has a 6.3 V8! lol handling isnt like a z tho
