Most of these people would get their asses kicked by a professional driver in a "lesser" car. Bench racing at its finest.

But Car and Driver says my car is .00002 seconds faster to 60. That makes it the best, right?

Absolutely, Chuck, because we all know when you drive your car to 100% of its limit 100% of the time, every .00002 seconds counts. :rofl2:

Could make a difference on a road trip to ... say ... Alpha Centauri.

I'm kind of confused by this thread. Zs are cool cars. Other cars are also cool. Car enthusiasts recognize that there are cars out there that do other things, sometimes better than their car. Rivalries are more for fanboys, not enthusiasts.

I wish most car enthusiasts recognized this. Although it seems a lot worse with the chevy/ford/dodge TRUCK fanboys.

Historically, the US does better in war if they wait until everyone else fighting has already blown themselves to hell before they show up... I'm sure there's a lesson there, but its outside the scope of thread, the forum, most people's pre-war perspicacity, etc. :icon14:


And now back to the thread, already in progress:

FORD = Found On Road Dead

GM = Planned obsolescence

:shakes head:

Although, that said, I might tempt fate and go with an Alpha Romeo next time around... :eek:
