GT3 isn't as fast as a C6 Z06 let alone a C7. You need GT2RS or turbro S from porsche land.

Didn't they offer on the Zonda or one of the Koenigsegg cars with a V12? Get that.CorvetteWaxer wrote:I need a Turbo S with a manual.

"The latest 991.2-generation Porsche Turbo S also produced a quicker 0–60 run than such vaunted supercars as the Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV, McLaren P1, Nissan GT-R Track Pack, Audi R8 V10 Plus, and the Tesla Model S P90D in Ludicrous mode."
I know that going in a straight line isn't what these cars are all about but it's where most of the DD thrills lie.

It'll be sub-4 seconds to 60. The regular base car did 4.0 and the "T" model is lighter with shorter gearing and an LSD... and they have tunes out for the 911s now too so you can probably get about as quick as the C7Z with a tune.

If you can swing the payment then yeah do that. They will appreciate as long as mileage is kept reasonable.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:23 pmDidn't they offer on the Zonda or one of the Koenigsegg cars with a V12? Get that.CorvetteWaxer wrote:

I just configured a Turbo S on the site and it came out to $217k.
Just not sure that car is really worth that much being that my Z06/Z07 was $102k MSRP and the Turbo S isn't some incredible leap forward from that, and looks like most other 911's...
I need to go looking at some of these cars in person and sit in them.

Yeah see that’s a lot for a beetle. Can you get a prancing horse for that much? What do 458s run?CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:36 pmTough call.

I’d look at more exotic and eventful vehicles at that price.

I admittedly know nothing about Huracans but they’re probably better than any prior Lambo because they’re made by VW now and not held together with hopes dreams and dollar store glue.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:57 pmThe 488 GTB runs about $275k as well as this: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/20 ... ive-review
I’ve heard that if you care about the way the car drives you generally pass up the lambos.

My boss had one of these delivered to work when they were brand new. He paid $999,999.99 for it and a couple months later he was forced by the state of California to sell it. It did not meet California emmissions standards so he couldn't register it in the state and the VIN was blacklisted so it couldn't even be sold out of state, driven enough to be considered "used" and resold into the state.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 10:00 pm Found it:

I'm not actually joking about the Zonda or CCX, they're last-of-breed crazy machines that in some ways surpass the McLaren F1 which is probably too even for you. You won't get more than that without MODZZZ or going to 2-wheeled machines (or actually going to a racetrack, but I guess you're not into that?).

Yeah, as I understand it, he actually made money on the deal though since they were so hard to get, but he was NOT happy.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 10:12 pmI’d be fucking furious if that happened to me.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 10:06 pm
