Sold the V!!! Just watched it drive off...
 
Well guys... I sold the V. That's right Cole... The second V I've sold and you still have your shit pile collecting dust and rotting away. Lol

Anyway, I didn't think it would go so fast but she's gone. Guy came and looked at it last night and showed up with payment tonight. Sounded so good driving away. I never really got to see what she looked like outside the car because I was always in it but for a second there, I regretted selling it. I'm sure I'll feel completely fine once I get my replacement.

I'll still be around here so no worries. Trying to decide what to replace it with.

Budget is $40k. I could spend more but don't feel the need to. Plenty of nice cars can be had for that or less.

So... My main options are...

-huge lifted diesel
-C6 Z06
-V2
-03/04 Whipple or KB Cobra

What else is there that would be fun for the money? I'll more than likely buy a streetbike and a daily driver so whatever I get won't be my daily.

Lmk fellas! :)

E60 M5... That V10 sounds mean! they can be had for mid 30s..

I8URSVT 10-03-2012 07:58 PM

drive each before you decide. all of those options are sweet, cant go wrong with any of those. My personal experience is that terminators with big KB's are awesome.

01_SuperSlow 10-03-2012 08:04 PM

You gotta be fuck*n kidding!
After spending all that money on mods...
You really are neversatisfied huh :jest:

Out of your options, I would go with a V2 or Z06.
Good luck with your new project :)

RADEoN 10-03-2012 08:06 PM

oh no who is gonna make all the threads now :D

DarkCharisma 10-03-2012 09:02 PM

I loved my Duramax, just sayin'. I was a fool for letting it go. It was mostly stock (canned tune, intake, exhaust) and would give a lot of "sports" cars a run for their money... in addition to being comfortable, useful/versatile and remarkably quiet for what it was.

Skidmarcx 10-03-2012 09:08 PM

Holy shit you are spontaneous lol... Tough decision to make on the next vehicle since they're all good... Except I think diesels are overrated... And expensive to repair compared to gas motors... I'd say Z06 and build the motor

soulja 10-03-2012 09:33 PM

V2 of course! Manual

Dmax/04V 10-03-2012 10:05 PM

Diesel with compound turbos and a built trans, low to mid 12's in the quarter. Having 1500 ft/lbs and being able put down 1.6/1.7 60' times at 8-9000 lbs is always fun. Oh and the duramax'es are hard to kill, I've tried and keep failing.

itsslow98 10-03-2012 10:12 PM

Like I said on facebook, fully built front to back cobra AND a diesel lol.

babrown18 10-03-2012 10:37 PM

I love my v2 it takes a huge dump on the v1 in every way. Find you a good deal on a v2 and pull the trigger.

54inches 10-03-2012 11:01 PM

I would Say a V2.

I heard a V8 Benz today with what sounded like flows and it sounded BAD!!!!

On another not, Fuck a lifted diesel.

Get a 2wd Diesel and lower it and turn that fucker UP. Nobody does that. Be different.

Nobody does that because no one wants to launch a 2wd pickup truck with 1,000ft lbs of torque lol.

Here's a Duramax (lifted, even) running faster than most streetable cars can at half the weight:



Or 18 pages worth of lowered Duramax's here: http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/su...-d-max-18.html

Damn guys... So many responses. Lol first... No worries! I'll still be posting! Now that everyone is relieved... We can talk cars. Lol

Only reason I like the diesel idea is cause it's a turn key vehicle I can take anywhere without a worry in the world. But... I really like shifting gears in a fast car so... For that reason... I'm leaning to the V2 or C6 Z06. Honestly a little more toward the vette cause if I don't get one now, I won't for awhile cause I'm 27 as of the 29th and if I wait, I'll prob end up with a kid somewhere along the line and I'll need a back seat. Lol

And only reason I'm leaning away from the cobra is cause I've had one already but I do love em.

Allen, if I could afford a cobra and the diesel I want... I'd do it but on $40k, I'd have an average diesel and an eaton cobra. Lol if rather have a daily beater to drive to the plant, a streetbike and a sick whip for the nice days. Lol

NeverSatisfied02 10-03-2012 11:38 PM

Oh... And if I did a 2wd... I'd do a nasty bagged diesel dually on rig wheels... Lol

Hostile03SVT 10-04-2012 12:11 AM

Ill sell you my 08 F250 that makes some sick a$$ power.. its a 4x4 though.. I wanna down grade back to a F150.. Truck is done, all you need is to lift it up. I like it stock height..

NeverSatisfied02 10-04-2012 12:12 AM

Send me details...

I cant blame you there, I cant think of a single car I have owned that I would jump right back in. Getting something new is half the fun anyways although I wanted another fbody to turbo. I would go c6z I just hate how they all have the same exact mods....heads/cam/exhaust. Im addicted to boost now and any fast car I own from here on out will have some type of forced induction besides spray.

Congrats on the sale! As far as your next vehicle, I've had all 4 on your list. Notice what I have now. The V2 has given me the most joy out of all 4 on your list. And I'm not saying this because this is in the V section. ;)
