it happened at night so i couldnt see if it was a pearl or not but the car was black.i honestly dont think it would fare well for anything remotely close to a stock car as theyre prolli making 450+rwhp to all 4 wheels and have 13" wide rear meats.supposedly they run a 12 flat at 121mph

Even if I could afford it I would still wouldn't buy one. They're not worth it. I wouldn't pay somebody in Italy to sit on there *** so I could be all smug in my Lambo. I would buy a vette and modify it to what I wanted if I had the money.

Truth. Exotic drivers don't see price tags like we do and they're driving for different reasons.

It's all relative, and nobody in the muscle car segment can begin to justify why anyone would drop hundreds of thousands of dollars into a car that appears inferior to ours in some aspects. We can talk all day long about how an f-body or Corvette with "that much money in mods" would outrun a Lambo on the strip or road course, but it amounts to moot in the end. At their level, driving is a luxury more so than a hobby. Us go-fast guys don't necessarily agree with their ride-well mentality.

It's nice to be the underdog and take home the kill, but in the end, they're driving Lambo. At any time they could buy of our shoes and spend a day in them, and I guaran-damn-tee it that they would never look back after running back to the Lambo. Us, not so much. If some of us could just as easily swap our Z28s and TAs for C6 Z06s, we are likely to feel the same way.

"too much bloody money" is the perfect quote.when you have money like that you can drive what u want and if you happen to have a love for cars you end up with this for a track car
