Here some more, I will do a driving and walk arround video in some weeks when the weather is better here. I´m happy you guys like the build, thats an honor.

Wow!! That thing looks righteous! I love the all blacked out look without side stripes. Nasty in a good way.

Well done!

Ahhhhhhh... I have a soft spot for the F4, beautiful aircraft.


Way to go Kent. This is what muscle cars are all about, not going down and buying the latest computer tweaked gadget ride.

Muscle cars are from the 1960's period! I don't know what to call the current iteration, doesn't matter 'cause I'm not buying.

Built by and enjoyed by a REAL muscle car enthusiast!!

That's what I'm talking about.

The truly sad thing about both of these cars is no matter which you should choose, they are both going to depreciate like stock in the '29 crash.

In three years they will both be at 1/2 what they were new.

And that's what I am waiting for, swoop in buy, drive and enjoy !

Sure but in ten years if you need a bumper cover the insurance company will total the car.

The Prius, the Chrysler K car and the Corvair were also "car of the year"

.. oh yeah, and the Citation. LOL
Marketing considerations included 
Good choice on the lower case letters Pete!

So be it, like I said previously buy it at half price run the wheels off of it and enjoy it instead of looking at it in a garage

Yall know everyone has an expiration date, unfortunately some of us have not figured it out and worship idols

Still hasn't hit a few people, you need to realize that the new Corvette has become a genuine supercar slayer at a very affordable acquisition point. Go America !

And remember "Chevrolet" is French. Just a matter of time before surrender

Baaaaaaaaaaa
Yes

Merry Christmas

Yes sir you are correct and what we are about to express will infuriate a few.

Haters will be haters, but you just cant keep this baby down;

2.9 0 to 60mph
1/4 mile 11.3 naturally aspirated
1/4 mile trap speed of 121 mph
193 mph top speed
Starting at $59,995

Did you know that a Forum friend ran a new 2020 GT500 at the track a few weeks ago and produced a 1/4 mile time under 10 seconds....

No ha,ha,ha...  Still hasn't hit a few people, you need to realize that the new Corvette has become a genuine supercar slayer at a very affordable acquisition point. Go America !

[FL SAAC]

Yes

Not only them but a few have dipped the new GT500 already in the high nines and I applaud that.

The issue is I am totally honest and realize that people unfortunately are comparing the current top of the line mustang gt500 with a supercharger to a naturally aspirated chevy.

Who is far superior in the aerodynamics, aesthetically pleasing, handling and price.

Let's regroup once the ZR1 arrives and hold the comparision then
