DJT, Donald Junta Trump. Hostile take over of the American institutions have started.

Two overdrive gears? It has 5 overdrive gears. It's worse than you think.

2025 ZR1 prices just got announced: 1LZ Coupe starts at 175K 1LZ Convertible starts at 185K. 3LZ Coupe, 186K 3LZ Convertible, 196K 175K USD is around 250K CAD right now, unless GM decides otherwise.

I mean.... if you want downforce for a track, sure, but that ride height? You'd be scraping worms from the asphalt.

If you care at all about driving experience and unsprung weight and the effect it has on handling, avoid RFTs at all cost. They are a great thing to have if you don't care about ride or handling, such as driving a SUV out in the middle of nowhere, but on sports cars, they are a BIG no for me. If...

I just got my M4 CS and the luxury tax hurt a bit. Almost 14000 hurts to be exact.

I know what we need, A Z06 E-Ray :). Call it a Z-Ray. Best of both worlds.

Those allocations should fly in no time :)

I've been driving for over 20 years, sim racing for 15, and been in love with cars for over 30, and as I mentioned above, I have the production car track record for TMP. I don't think stating that I might know a bit more about a motor vehicle than your average online commenter would be too much...
