vs. Ford GT
I went to Italian Car Day yesterday here in Atlanta in my '88 Fiero GT. Saw some good cars....but the drive back was just as fun. Also there at the show was a C6 Corvette Z06 and a new Ford GT. Going back towards Marietta me and my friend played around with the Z06 and Ford GT a little bit. We must've drove together for about 15 miles. Anyways, I did kind of get lined up at a light with the Ford GT. I revved at him, he looked over and it was on . I didn't really get on it that much in 1st, but I hit 2nd and floored it. He wasn't really being serious but he DID give it a bit of gas, and made me look stupid in my best accelerating gear. He was probably only using 1/2 throttle too....
Was fun though. Nothing like driving around with a new Z06 and a Ford GT for a few miles on the highway. Good looking cars too, they really do look better when they're being driven.

Its still a ford.
how much are they? aren't they like 150k? with that, I'd buy a 911 turbo, and a decked out TTZ and a decked out Miata, and a monster offroading jeep.
and then my life would be complete.

Oh yeah. I doubt I would ever buy it. There are so many cheaper cars I would rather have.eaglecatcher wrote:I wouldn't...watkins wrote:Thats one of the few American cars I would buy. Thats if I was insanely rich, that is.

yeah... if you're going to buy a car and deck it out, you're just paying an insane amount of money for the body. engines are actually pretty cheap (compared to the car), so buying a used car for 5k and putting another 5k into the engine will get you a nice and fast car...eaglecatcher wrote:I wouldn't...
