i love cars!

my alltime favorite car is the Corvette. I love it mostly because it is know as one of the most customizable cars you can ever own. I like how it is the only supercar in the world that combines HUGE power with good MPG. Buzz has 650 hp and still gets 28 mpg on the highway.. That is staggering. With a lambo or ferrari with that much power you get around 4 to the gallon. Whats the point of buying a $150,000 car that you can't customize very much and empties your wallet every time you rev the engine.
So now I wanna know what's your favorite kind of car?

1994 Honda Accord LX

corvettes are one of my favorite cars also. but i have many favorite cars. but corvettes being close to the top of the list. but corvettes are not a super car. do a little looking around they are not up to par to be a super car. mostly do to the fact of the interior.

you beat me to it... that was going to be my exact response!

ha gee thanks guys! your nice

jk man. my fav car is at home on jack stands

I like so many differant cars it's impossible for me to choose just one. Practically every make has a model I love! Personally I've wanted my Venge since I was a youngin, my Grandpa's neighbor had a white one and I just loved the agressive look of the car!

Same here.

the great 1964 nova ss with a 283, powerpack heads, close ratio m-22 rockcrusher tranny, and the week little 8.2 inch 10 bolt packin 5:13 and a posi. factory tested it beat the corvette in 1964 in braking, handling, acceleration, 1/4 mile time and because i think so, it looked better too. my dad had one since 1966, and it's still in the family, and it still rocks it.


but thats just my opinion

That's awesome I love older muscle cars a lot. When it comes to type of car I'd say my favorite is classic muscle cars.

same i own my favorite car , bulit it too,79-88 mercury ford capri-mustang hybrid

My favorite car is THE Corvette too! I'm a vette freak...I consider it a supercar...it's the car that represents america when compared with other cars in the world...smokes everything in its price range...(you have to spend quite a bit more to beat it on the track and 1/4, we're talking stock cars here, not modded) has better stats than the ford gt (which is not made anymore) for $50,000 less...the viper acr is fast too but not street friendly like the zr1...you can race the zr1, or drive it on the interstate across country and get decent milage! I think its funny when car magazines diss the vettes interior...it's because there is nothing else to diss! This is my dream car!..............I do like other cars as well, another favorite being the 2002 trans am with the ws6 and ram air hood (red)...very nice car and has functional hood scoops...unlike other new cars...but like everyone else, this is my opinion!!!

Lotus Exige or a built up honda... just sumthin bout it that makes me smile everytime

White 2001 Chevy silverado LS 5.3 with RCD long travel kit, drop spindles, King coilovers with remote resevoirs, 35in. BF goodrich tires, Black weld racing wheels with extended lug nuts, Interior still clean as hell to haul the B***s around. That's my dream truck!!! owned it for a few months but had to sell it due to California gas prices and having to drive 240 miles a day for school!! (san diego to rancho cucamonga, CA) google map that shit!. It was not a MPG friendly mobber!

its a tie for me 67-66 nova/chevy II and the 70-72 gto. l love the lines of both of those cars.

oh yeah i frickin love the exige s. super lightweight and supercharged. its such a good package in such an aweome car

3rd Generation Mazda RX7, Ive wanted to drive/own one since 92'

Ah yes.... a good ol' FD would be sweet!!!

Oh crap, all you 'Vette guys just made Josh's shit list...

Honestly, I liked my 'Vette, if I lived in AZ, I'd probably still own it.

As for me, if I was to build something... 55 Chevy, all modern twin turbo big block, tubbed, 4 link, pro-street style.

Something like this but with a stock hood...

Thats a beast looking car i would definetly not wanna line up against that.

even if i had a jet engine i wouldn't line up on that

hey shawn as far as im concerned they are more of a supercar than a modern muscle car because they are more focused on weight and power instead of just power like most muscle cars made today.

I'd line up with it, just to drool over the taillights dissapearing into the distance

same here i owuld just wanna see him roast the piss out of the tires off the line.

and yes you can call it a supercar. STOCK with the base model it will make 400hp from a pushrod v8. Even with all the power it has huge mpg. And for the interior, have you ever sat in a true supercar?? you can see the welds on the sheet medal in the interior. theres no carpet and everything is hard and made to be as light as possible. And for the power, ferraris are puttin around 375hp average, the corvette makes more than that stock. I mean just because its not as expensive or as nice doesn't make it not a supercar. in my world yes it is a supercar. and it can also be more customized so that makes it more personal to the owner

it we talking dream cars I would have to build my own.

Ultimate daily driven track car for me would be an LS1 swapped RX-7. If I wanted luxory and track capabilities I would look towards one of the new twin turbo porsches.

But the ultimate car for me would be Smokey Nagata's twin turbo g35 (or as he calls it V35 gtr) that he built for top speed runs.

Here is the video that made me love it so much! and it's sweet because he is an old ugly japanese dude.

One day I will own a 70 Cuda or 70 Challenger. I had a 70 Challenger in high school and sold it because I knew nothing about cars and it blew a head gasket. It was B5 blue with a white Vinyl top. In pretty darn good condition also. I kick myself everyday for getting rid of it.

well in my book they are not a super car. hell ive talked to many vette owners and not one has said its a super car. just ask buzz even he said the interior is pretty far behind. it takes all the key things to become a super car. im not saying all the cars that made the list for being a super car should have made the list but they did. the Zr1 would be the closet one to being a super car. hell i will own a C6 Z06 or grand sport one day. i think they are a hell of a car just not a super car. IMO

I have to agree with you Shawn. I'm can't say a Corvette would be a "Super Car". That' would be like saying a Shelby GT500 is a supercar. Definately not the case. I'm not sure I'd even say a Ford GT is a supercar. It would be hard for me to see any "American Made" auto as a "Super Car". The auto makers here are too cheap and car too much about mass production.

Now a Ford GT.... I'd give that the supercar nod. Vipre is harder to classify too, maybe rarity plays a roll in supercardom.

a ford gt imo would be closer to a super car than a vette or viper. i guess it really just depends on the model on car it is. as in ZR1,ARC and stuff like that.

true a gt is closer to a supercar than a zr1 and a acr and the vette isnt a supercar because it is so mass produced like a c6 is pretty far from a supercar and its still the same base model as a zr1. and now that gallardos are becoming so common they are starting to lose their supercar status.

1999 Lancer Evolution VI TME... Back when evos were actually evos.... not 3600lb pigs. My dream is to keep a virgin evo VI TME in the garage and DD whatever the latest gen evo at the time is with a ton of mods.

I think for a car to qualify for a "supercar"...... it has to have a redline over 8,000 RPM. lol

I love my car, but a Porsche GT-2 would be pretty amazing.

Yeah now that I think about it. To be a super car it has to be rare and have a lot of passion behind. Like Ferrari. When you look at one you can just feel the passion that went into it

My definition of supercar is performace.

yes, the Vette interior sucks. However, it's highly customizeable. Other than the Harley, there isn't any other vehicle out there that has the aftermarket presence than the Vette.

here are the top 10 STOCK cars at Nurburgring:



And while I'm at it, here is MY dream car (well, at least one of many).

The Callaway Supercharged Z06 - over 700 rwhp.



I just wish the top came off.

I also want a Gallardo but living in Billings, it's not going to happen.

Dodge Viper ACR, only car on that list that I looooove

According to the magazines (if you choose to listen to them), any car that breaks 8 minutes / lap at Nurburgring is a SuperCar.

Here's a list of the last ones to beat the 8min mark.

Actually this is the UPDATED list.

What's so terrible about the C6 interior? Looks nicer than the C5 IMO.

yeah i like the c6 more because im not too big of a fan of pop up headlights.

I love it too. Thinking of purchasing this from a friend.

Holy shit Buzz, HUGE differance before and after. I see why you did it now, it was less then impressive lol

Other than being unicolor before the mods what was wrong with it? Just seems like the same plasticy interior almost all cars get.

It's definitely more aesthetically pleasing after the mods.

It felt like you were in a coffin. Very dark and depressing IMHO.
