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 **** 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!

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.

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.

Holy **** 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

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.

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

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.
