i suppose exotic is a fairly relative term, but i would venture to guess that C6 ZO6's and cayman's will be pretty common soon. i also would not say that the cayman's all that fast when being compared to other cars that have been mentioned in this thread

I think the moon rover is the coolest exotic

[deadbolt_35]

true, but i bet one of those would run you a pretty penny

it doesnt match either of these definitions... although you may not see many c6 zo6's in a few years they're pretty much garenteed to be everywhere

I don't see how being exotic means that it has to come from another part of the world. Do you really think that a resident Italian will think of a Pagani Zonda as NOT being exotic?? And what about the Saleen S7? Is that not exotic? Would a brit think of a McLaren F1 as exotic? Your definition of exotic doesn't hold much water. Also, you won't see nearly as many C6 Z06's because they're on a much more limited production run than the old one. Not as many people will be able to afford the new z06, either. I wouldn't necessarily call the Z06 an exotic either, but not for the same reasons as you. I think of it as a fast American musclecar, right there with the Viper.

So a Saleen S7 isn't an exotic?

"exotic" is a stupid type of catagorising a car and anyone who uses it should be spanked.

to both of you, i think "exotic" in car terms is the second one... i just took the dictionary definition.. all i said was that the c6 didnt match EITHER of those definitions... i think the saleen s7 and pagani zonda match the second definition so technically they still would be exotic.. please find where i said "if it comes from the country you are from then its not exotic"... sorry if i hurt ur feelings

Exotic to me means lots of power, and u dont see it often. It has over 500 hp, and i have yet to see one. I consider vipers exotic too, even tho the dealership is nearby.

you dont see many yet because its brand new... thats why i said.. wait a couple years

What I say to that is you won't see them everywhere because the production will be limited. The only place you'll see Vipers everywhere is at a club meeting or a one-make race. Not enough people (who also have to be car nuts) can afford a Z06 or a Viper for you to see them everywhere. I saw a car show where they said GM plans to build less than 1000 Z06's this year, however I can't confirm that. Keep in mind this is a $75k car, not a $50k something car like the old one, and it's not like you see them everywhere anyway. Anyway, this is a stupid arguement so I'll stop...
