yup , traded my beloved 8 for a 01 vette..some things on the 8 i really miss .but getting the extra 100 hp i had to do it .the 8's been a blast you guys have fun .

 

take 'er easy, hoss.
enjoy the speed.

 

Thats a random car to change to. Vettes are always fun though. Did you get a pretty good deal? Ive seen 01-02 vettes go for under $30g with decent mileage (under 50,000).

 

another one bites the dust

 

New BMW M6

yup, looks like if i ever, that will be it

 

the new m6 is a monster, i owuldn't mind having that new 3 series twin turbo

 

haha. enjoy.

 

hate to say it, you probably added more than 100 HP. quick question, did to get the removable targa roof??? i think that is a must for the vette.

 

under 30g? i had the opprotunity to buy a new plain c6 for 35k when i got my rx8. 01-02 plain vettes should be around 20k. tops. in perfect shape.

 

M6 is a bloated barge.

 

If you had simply bought a second RX-8 you would have ended up with 464 HP.

Enjoy your new ride ....

 

Yeah and 5800 pounds of car. Sounds like a Range Rover Sport Supercharged.

 

^lol. And realistically - probably wouldn't break 400hp.

Good luck with the vette. Remember to be careful in the twisties!

 

I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun with the vette. Congrats on the purchase!

 

Sounds like fun.

We don't see many over here (for obvious reasons) so it's always fun to check them out.

Have fun with it.

 

100hp? 350 - 215 = 135 hp!

Congrats! If the C6 didn't have such a HUGELY better interior, I'd consider the trade to a C5, too!

 

Dont forget the ride quality! Enjoy the Vette and drive safe...

 

you luxo sport touring hater you!!!

 

dang it...i thought for sure that this post was gonna be about daisy-chaining set set of "tornado - air flow accelerators".

enjoy.

 

I'd love to have a Vette for the sheer HP, but be careful. A nice-looking Vette once spun out in the local mountains here, while trying to keep up with my Miata!

 

i knwo the z06 pulls almost a 1 on the G meter... and is just as good of a handler as the 8... i dont know about the regualr C5s though, all i know is he may have gained 135 hp.. but he gains 200+ torque..

 

You should have just imported an RX-8 from Canada, they have three rotors and about 350hp. At least that is what a Mazda salesman told me yesterday.

 

The C4 and C5 are exceptional in handling, braking and of course acceleration.
I was strongly considering a C4 6 speed up to the day I bought the RX8.

I just liked the 8 better. I don't need 300 HP. When I was younger I did. I do need the occasional back seat on some days I want to drive the sports vehicle.

But there were a few little things like $1200 for tires every 20,000 miles or twice the insurance cost to consider. The good side to me of a vette was lower depriciation, awesome V8 power & sound.

It's really all to each his own.

 

haha, wow, the salesperson here told me that the there bringing in a 4rotor single turbo here with the fd3s body... i really beleived him too.....

 

Now Thats Funny.. I Don't Care Who You Are Thats Funny.. Git Er Done
