I have nothing to prove other than reminding vette owners that their cars are not the fastest and greatest cars in the world (much to their chagrin).....and that other makes and models from around the world deserve respect even though they are not built in the U.S.

Enough off topic BS for one day........IMO the Z06 is not a supercar

well opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one. and since i don't know what the exact definition of a "supercar" is nor do i care. i will say this the reason so many cars are made is because there is a different car for different people with different needs at different places in their life. there is no car that is the be all end all. but although i think you are condescending and arrogant you are entitled to your opinion, but try not to preach so much! the IS-f is a nice car but nothing special either....

Sorry for going off topic but I can't take anymore vette stroking every other car sucks bashing BS in here!
Hey Superstar.... there were plenty of cars there that might not be what you (self proclaimed genius) might not be considered "supercars". To each his own on their preference of cars. The Z06 is the best American Sports car out there dollar for dollar. And keep this in mind, as another poster mentioned, you do not own an American Car! Its people like you that run their mouth and dont support the country you live in by buying Imports!

I think five deployments and over 1,000 flight hours for the United States Navy is enough support.......you don't have to buy American to be an American.

I respect American muscle for sure, but I can't honestly back a company that has resorted to pandering to the government for billions in bailout help only to stay afloat another year or two. The greed that consumes GM, Ford and the autoworkers etc. and the people who continue to purchase an inferior product is not in my vernacular an act of patriotism! It is rather incredibly ignorant and lacks pragmatism of any kind!

and the millions the big three threw at the 9/11/01 terror attack was mandatory too, right? if i remember correctly the GAVE $10 million a piece towards relief efforts. and now you want to chastise them for asking for a loan? see how far you get without asking for a LOAN from time to time.

After every post of yours you come off more and more of an insecure dousche. Why don't you put your ISF up against a Z06 in any performance test since you seem to think they are in the same league. Don't get butthurt because your car can't hang.

The c6 z06 is the best bang for the buck you can buy. It's fine to think of it ans just a sports car, however yours is nothing more than a sedan. And BTW, you haven't beaten any properly driven c6. Did they know you were racing? It must suck having to watch out for e92 m3s and c63 amgs. I apologize for bringing you back to reality, it can be painful.

You're right man, Z06's are the greatest and I should be ashamed of myself for thinking otherwise!

M3's you say? Here's what I think about the new M3:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oyQS...eature=related


new C63 AMG? Right again bro, an entire one tenth quicker in the 1/4 mile (quickest stock slips to date)

http://www.dragtimes.com/Lexus-IS-F-Timeslip-17085.html
12.38 IS-F

http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...lip-16362.html
12.27


Please tell me you have something else to offer? Please tell me that you wan't to call me out with your gold chain and popped collar wanting to race a car you have nearly 100 hp advantage? Keep responding and proving to the world that you have absolutely no clue about the performance of any other car but your own! Bravo............bravo

Oh, if you're serious about racing........my 500 hp crawford built STI or blown M5 are always up to a challenge! But according to you, they can't even beat a C6 lol

10 million a piece? Was that before or after the CEO's were flying their million dollar private jets to Washington DC for billions? Loan is something that is paid back.........they have absolutely no intention of paying anything nor anyone back!

True colors are shining through in here........I love it!

Oh, a magazine racer, what a surprise. You propably think you pull the fastest recorded times in yours right? Sorry, left the gold chain at home champ. Don't get upset because someone younger than you owns a real sports car. If you can't appreciate your car for what is, perhaps you should've bought something else.

BTW, the fastest time you could find for you car has a lower trap than the average C6. Do you you know what happens when a car with a 115 trap races a 117 trapping car on the freeway? i guess the Lexus still pulls somehow, right? Damn, you're dense. A C6 has gone mid 10s with just bolt ons. Try getting even close to that.

by no means am i an internet tough guy. i will tell you how it is on here just as i would in person.

and the millions was both before and after "flying to washington" becasue this is not the first bailout the auto industry has needed! but you should do some research before you speak. all three of the US automakers have in fact taken loans during previous auto crisis and have all paid them back including the interest. and unless you are completely clueless the last thing we (as americans) want is for any or all of the big three to go down. the ripple affect that would create could be catastrophic to the entire economy in a time as tough as now. it is not just the company that fails, but all the people involved from the employees, vendors, publicists, advertisers and so on and so forth the fallout would be devastating.

and your attempts of engaging us to your petty and futile arguments are done with me. you are obviously to naive to hold anything other then a pissing contest. till you can provide anything other then opinion i am done. thanks and have a great night....

Nice pics man, that 430 is super hot! If ... scratch that. When I buy one - it'll be that color!

About this argument: I think you guys are missing each others points and just coming up with fighting words.
* You define supercars differently - so the cars that fall in the category are different
* You cant compare stock vs modded - that doesn't make much sense.
* "Don't buy imports" is just lame. America thrives on capitalism alone. Brand loyalty is not part of that equation.
