Also, the SS if for the people who can't afford the ZL1 .

And the ZL1 is for the people who can't afford the Z28..

And the Corvette is just for the people who can't afford the Lambo

And the Lambo is for the people who can't afford the Bugatti
This was good. Made me laugh!

I have an ss and I bought it brand new and paid for it in full, I also have my paid for 09 Z06, and several other badass rides. I work oilfeild (make very decent income), and had a healthy inheritance from my folks (lost them early). I can afford (with reality) most any car that is realistic (gtr, ZL1,Porsche, etc). I just wanted a semi fast daily driver so I bought my ss and made it kinda fast (cam and bolt ons). I'm still trying to understand your point.

Well, most aren't in that scenario (as far as I know).

You just ironically proved it.

Money is not always the reason people choose what they choose.

Unfortunately there aren't too many options. Either quiet or somewhat "import-ish". Not that sounding like a Jaguar XK-E and having a 1500 rpm higher redline to go with it would be a bad thing at all.

Proves the reason why people get a v6 instead of v8.. its cause its what they wanted lol

For me, I came from a 06 Hemi to my Camaro V6, a couple bolt ons to the Camaro V6 and I am running a better 1/4 time as my Hemi.. Im happy with it..


Yes I could of added bolt ons to the v8 to make it even faster, but it wasnt my goal to go crazy fast.. Plus pumping gas every other day was pretty wasteful for me.

Looking at the MRT V2 right now. I'm just trying to figure out what Drone is. It seems like that is the biggest complaint on the car.

worrying about how a car sounds(or looks) instead of how it preforms is kind of making the point of "All show, no go"... Just saying...

Someone just got my attention at a light and said "Hey man that's a nice car how much something like that set you back?' I said about 30 he said "Man that's a sick ride"


that's never happened to me before

None of the stock camaros (v6, v8) have very much go.... Unless you think 13-14 second cars are fast.....
