Meh. I'm still not sure.
I think I like the new Viper more. I guess there's just something about the lines on the Vette that don't appeal to me. I can't put my finger on what exactly it is, though.

 

I still really like the looks of the mid 90's Viper the best. I do like the newer Vipers also but that brand new one lost that aggressive style that always drew me to it.

 

Yeah, I had a poster of a Blue '97 coupe on my wall for years when I was younger. I never had a poster of a Corvette newer than the '63 split window, so maybe I'm biased. My favorite 'Vette has always been the '58; the first year of the dual headlights.

 

My personal favorite is the '61/'62. Dual headlights but the ducktail.

 

Boo! Boo I say!

 

OMG. Orange. Want!!!!

 

Here's a Toyota for you

 

Shoulda seen how much shit they pulled out of there that I couldn't see or get to thought. Glad I went!

 

Lots of car porn on here today


While we're on the subject, here's some more:
My all-time favorite dream car, in metal flake Midnight Blue, w/a black vinyl roof:

Preferably with a dual-quad 426 Hemi and a 4 spd.

Something like this, but a darker blue.

 

This is my kind of taco

 

There's definitely something about an orange sports car...

 

It is a LEXUS....'Nuf said...


Double click the link..

 

I'd take the LFA but I don't like that one. Looks like they tried to copy Audi's front end and made a mess of it.

For a Japanese sports car, I'd take the Nissan GT-R over just about anything Lexus has to offer (LFA excluded).

 

Yeah! The GT-R actually corners so hard that it threw Jeremy Clarkson's neck out, when they tested it on Top Gear a couple years ago. Crazy, crazy car.

 

I saw that episode, it's a mean car! I see one lurking around Cambridge and you wouldn't believe the noise that things makes

 

Mike,

Too each their own BUT you could not GIVE me a Nissan or Audi....my wrenching days hated both and that distaste still stands....

I even converted the daughter in law out of her A-4.....by refusing to work on it anymore... ...

Plus I am OLD enough to just "Want" an SC series Lexus and occasionally embarrass young'ns at traffic lites

 

Damn, you're old

I don't blame you though, any vehicle I have bad experiences with, I wouldn't own one either. I'm surprised to hear you say that about Nissan though. A lot of their older vehicles had great reliability.

 

You do FORGET how old I am ...it was Datsun 1st and their motors puked quicker than Taco frames rust out.. and their other drivetrain parts almost made me beg for a Jaguar or Benz to come in...He!! I'd even work on a GM before them......

 

...I had an '87 Nissan Hardbody in high school that my dad bought brand new in '87 that had 300k on the original Z-motor and drivetrain. It didn't burn or leak a drop of oil between changes, and it started right up even when it was -20 outside.
Everybody I've known who's had Nissans (cars and trucks) have always had the body rot off around the still-functioning mechanicals. That's why I sold mine; it had more fiberglass on it than my canoe.
