the perfect car???
Guys, cool your jets!!!!
Why in the world do you (Chicane/Rob) insist on getting into shouting matches with people over the best/fastest car etc... There is no 'right" answer, certainly not yours or anyone else's on this forum... If you haven't learned it yet, there are different cars that are really, really good for different things. For instance: Audi Turbo Quattro: safe, fast ,reliable, fabulous in winter, always starts, parts readily available: great engine/trans 3000GT: 380 HP wondercar, ultra quick, huge brakes, heavy but unreal preformer, great track car, mods get huge results: in red, NOTHING looks better!!! SVX: totally unique, great daily driver, super engine and pitiful transmission, gets stares, has unique engineering petigree.. ML320: tows trailer, unbelievable over long distances, solid like you can't believe: feels new after 120K mi. never ever gets stuck Yeah, I'm lucky!!! We've paid a price to have the above fleet but each is great in its own way: I'd feel stupid if I acted and talked like some of you do about 350Z, Neons, etc etc.. Get over it and ENJOY what you have until you find the next great one: Ive had 90+ cars now and unless there is a lottery win, I've got the best in my stable right now (at least for me!!!) Hotshoe |

BTW... what arguing? This thread has pretty much stayed in line as a discussion of high performance cars (except for the little blip with Rob and James... which was dispelled quickly). I haven't witnessed any fightin', just talkin', by gum.

but the big reason I didn't get a corrado? The owners. Head over to VW Vortex. Register a name. Go into the Corrado forum and ask people about their cars, trying to learn about them. They'll ask what you have now. If it isn't a VW, they'll harass you, ridicule you, and be complete assholes. I've never met a bigger group of dickheads in my life... VW owners can all be 'preppy' together, but I'm steering clear of them. - Rob |

Rob, I've never really lined up against one... just "fell" into quick little races on thee freeway. They couldn't quite keep up. They actually sold just a few thousand more Corrados in the U.S. than they did SVXs. I'm looking at the specs (I know, not an exact science) but the US VR6 (SLC) can supposedly mustar a 6.4 sec run to 60 with a manual or 7.8 for the auto... nasty difference. I wonder how the SVX fairs up to 60 with the manual... if it is around the same? I think it is hard to judge a car's accelaration on how it feels. I have come across plenty of cars that feel like they are accelerating harder in comparison to my cars, but line 'em up and I leave 'em in the dust. The feeling can be deceiving. My neighboors make me jealous (thread made me think about it). One has a super clean Corrado SLC that is always sittin' outside... it REALLY needs to be lowered and needs new wheels. Looks like it is practically ready to off road and has cheap looking low end American Racing-like wheels. The neighboor across the street from him always had this REALLY nice black 944, then it dissapeared to be replaced by a model I'm unfamiliar with (older and pretty ugly)... then that dissapeared and in stepped a '96 or so 911 turbo (drool). That thing has been in the garage dissmantled for almost a year I think, though. So who wants to come steal some cars with me?
