20 year old???

I've heard of post whoring, but c'mon bag... what does a 20 year old have to do with mid-life crisis and a z06, except for maybe being the guy at the car wash drying one off?

And besides, a 20 year old driving one like it's intended to be driven better be at a track...

You'd better crap your pants.... how in the hell is a 20 year going to gain the necessary experience in 4 years to drive a Z06 like it's supposed to be driven???

(Unless he takes MUCH schooling) Put it this way, I wouldn't be in that car with him

... neither would my daughter.

In fact, if I caught his ass doing that with any of my kids in there I'd probably beat him to a pulp.

2-bit post-whoring there bag... that's down there in the basement with Rally.

WAIT a minute! My bad... you were talking about Jcrane???

Uhhh, yeah. I'd crap my pants too if an 18 year old walked up to a Z06 hopped in and drove it like he meant it too. But my first question would be... "Does your old man know you're out in his car?"

I'd like one but i know i dont have the expertise to drive one like a race car...especially without the traction control ...i'd be happy if i could do a big burnout and take down the 1/4......after that i'd have more fun in my camaro

First i would ask how and when my dad STOLE the car.

Yea but around where I live, there are 20 yr olds with raised F350's worth around 40,000, and amg mercedes. Its sometimes amazing what youll see in Cali. If they can afford these, they can certainly afford a used Z06.

And it would run 198 mph and outhandle a new Z06 with a ride quality just as good?

bag91 · #25 04-09-2006, 06:23 PM

If I had the money for the Z06, Id buy something else, like the cadilac with the corvette motor, not quite a corvette, but close. I love those cars!!!!!!

really? oh. then why do people buy lambos,and ferraris,etc? with $200,000.00 you could build a freakin T/A that could beat el crapo out of anything. so why dont people waste their money doing that? people buy corvettes because they're CORVETTES!

Its all the look, which looks better to the average person, a pontiac, or a lambo.....
(I know some would say the pontiac, but whatever.)

the new zo6 can outrun cars that cost twice as much; the lambo galardio (probably spelled it wrong) is one example. i would not mind having one at all, but i think it has become more of a sports car than a muscle car. Maybe by the time i hit my mid-life crisis, yenko camaros will be affordable
