I remember this guy's thread about buying the car. He most likely is legit. I see if I can find my post in the old thread.....

I was thinking of picking one up as well, until I looked at the insurance. Also, the C8 is comming out within a couple years with a base HP of 505. Not too shabby =)

What makes you think he spent $70k+? It's the base Corvette, not the Z06 and the Z51 handling package looks like the most expensive thing in his list of features. I'd be surprised if he even spent $55k.

Anyway, good purchase bro. Enjoy it.

Only if you have to stand close to the urinal.

Actually, it's just a matter of opinion. A Z06 will run circles around most Ferraris, but chciks like them because they cost more.

Buying a Corvette at 21 is really not that big of a deal. There is a 23 year old Mortgage broker around my area that has a Murcielago, Mercedes S550, 2 Vipers, c6 Z06 and ****load of other cars. Work hard and you'll get what you deserve.

And they look better, sound better, and 10 times more of a car.

maybe he works a great job and can afford the payments and insurance, or has money from his parents? out with the haters...

anyway, back to topic...

Yep because 21 year olds everywhere are buying Corvettes.

Do you have any vids of Vettes running circles round the latest Ferraris? I would like to see. I can't see a Vette tearing up a 599 or the 430 on a track.

My dad has the Ferraro F430 F1, and it ****s over any previous car he has had, from an Aston Vanquish to an Merc SL55 AMG to his Bentley Conti GT.
The thing feels like you can't go wrong in it, and the engine sounds beautiful. It handles like a dream too.

But anyway, saying a Vette is better than a Ferrari is wrong, a Ferrari isn't about road racing, a Ferrari is a combination of prestige, exclusivity and the performance. The Vette may have the performance, but it doesn't have the prestige or exclusivity Ferraris have. You will find a very small percentage of Ferrari drivers actually driver their cars "hard" on the road compared to cheaper sports cars.

Anyway, props for buying a car like that at 21. You must be succeeding in life - my hats off to you. Looks a cool car. May I ask what you do?

Also, please say you didn't buy that over putting a deposit on a house or something?

Nice one anyway bro!

Ok what does your Dad do that has him rolling around in Aston Martins, Ferraris, and Bentleys?

btw a BMW M5 can outrun a F430 so I wouldn't be too surprised that a vette can

**BlazinTireZ2** · 05-10-2007, 12:36 PM

Thanks everyone

I'll get pics up as soon as I get it.

to clarify...

I bought it myself with my own money... I work for my dad's machine shop, and its hard work, like 12 hours a day 5 days a week sometimes 6. But that has already been discussed in way too much detail in that last thread.

Also, the Z06 is very fast.

If you search youtube.com for Z06 vids you'll find ones where the Z06 beats lambos on the highway and other awesome ones.

The car cost me $44,300.

I bought over the phone from a dealer in MI.

www.corvettesbyrickdaniel.com

He has the 2nd biggest inventory in the country and is the #1 corvette dealership in the country, so he gives great prices.

You can get the base base model for under $41,000, especially because the 08's are coming out soon.

Wiat, you're the one who used to come on here whose dad owns Ferraris, Bentleys, etc, right?

As a mater of fact, my neighbor has both a Ferrari and a Z06. As someone who personally owns both, I think he's justifiable when he says that his (and I quote) "Z06 runs circles around his Ferrari".

As for the rest of your useless post, I bothered not reading.

Oh, wait. I just bothered reading the rest of your spew...you DID refer to your dad yet again...LOL!

**The Riddler** · 05-10-2007, 12:41 PM

its a corvette yall should check out my cardomain and see my aston martin and my 2 escalades and my porsche.

**Hardbody316** · 05-10-2007, 12:46 PM

I love the new corvettes, but around here i see them everywhere...

i saw that someone said something about supra's...Im not saying they are better by any means, but theres just something about a supra with a nice kit and about 600 horsepower that just looks quite impressive!!!

plus they are very hard to come by nowadays

Didn't you also say your neighbour owned a 360? i.e an 8 year old model.

People buy the F430 and the Z06 for different reasons. The Z06 is a budget performance car that lists raw speed as the chief weapon in its armoury, the F430 starts with that speed and builds on it. In equal hands they are about neck and neck on pace. Choosing between one or the other depends partially on what you want out of a car, and largely on what your budget is. I dont expect many cross shop the two.

Me personally? I'd take a GT3RS over the both of them
