  1. Nice Pat -- I had a Torch Red C5 for many years , great car sold it in 2014 and bought a 2013 and a 2012 C6 with a M6 tranny, My son bought a 2011 C6 last year. - we are kind of a Corvette family.
  2. fun to drive wagon -- go here -- looks like it might fit the bill. https://www.autoblog.com/buy/2020-Ferrari-GTC4Lusso-V12__2dr_All_wheel_Drive_Wagon/pricing/
  3. car buying is just NUTS Crazy right now.. Girlfriend just bought a new Mazda CX5 -- around $3400 off MSRP , 90 days delay in first payment and 5 years financing at 0% interest. -
  4. Take a look at what Hennessey did to the 2020 Corvette, - not quite sure what you do with that much power even if you are Tim the Tool Man Taylor https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/autos-sports/listen-to-the-hennessey-twin-turbo-mid-engine-2020-chevy-corvette/ar-BB11An6W
  5. Both my Corvettes C6 Grand Sports are M6 -- fun to drive.. and the Mercedes is a 4 speed manual. I think it comes down to this : If you want a fun sports car to drive thru the winding mountain roads -- a manual is the way to go -- if you want to Drive as fast as you can on an empty road with no cops - then a DCT is the way to go. Too bad the Current Corvette Design team does not think this way. I hope my C6s last 20 years - then I will be 93 and probably have my keys taken away.
  6. My Corvettes are still sleeping but they are starting to wake up now that the sun has reappeared. Golfing in the cold is starting to get old and need some warmer weather. But the new Mustang Electric -- it is butt ugly . googgle the photo of it - the back end is ugly.
  7. Well -- yes Whistler is wonderful Golf -- going there in September, But cant do both the middle of winter in Whistler, Seattle's golf courses are open year around while 30-45 minutes east the Lifts are running..Dec - April Enjoy the Day Neil and Boris, Looks like a Corvette day to the golf course down here
  8. And only in Seattle can you snowboard in the morning and golf 18 holes in the afternoon.! ?
  9. Anyone heard of the new BMW X7 -- 609 HP V12 engine available. -- Hmmmm.. I can think of a few unsuspecting drivers getting themselves sideways real quick.. and I am not talking about being in debt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_X7
  10. Yea the Exhaust is ok.. it just the Tail Lights that get all negative comments about the C7. Most of the rest - Front views are great. And Except for these additions to 2014 C7. The direct Fuel injection - not sure this has been fully vetted to be a good thing for long engine life, The addition of the deactivation of 4 cyclinders , the 7 speed manual , 6 is plenty, the the biggest complaint of all us bigger guys -- the smaller cabin space - I feel like a sardine in a can when I am in the drivers seat of a C7. Sadly, I think my 2013 C6 Grand Sport is my Last Corvette. Love the LS 3 engine.
  11. Talk about Ugly by a design team... the rear end of the C7 Corvette is so butt ugly -- the Designer of this was the Designer of the Pontiac Aztek... so go figure.
  12. IF you like cars and a bit of history with Jaguar -- Netflix has a wonderful piece about the Lightweight Race car they built in the 60's and are building 6 more around 2015. netflix it is labeled "Inside Jaguar"
  13. But Double Holy Balls -- Look at the C6 Grand Sport!!
  14. is that a Direct Fuel injection engine?? just curious cuz I hear that is one of the faults of that "new" design.
  15. Since we are talking about the Z3 or Z4 BMW -- I would say the Z Model I like is the E52 BMW Z8 from 2003 -- wish I had one of those ... what a beautiful design.!!
