I pray to god that you are wrong about the center console. That would increase the likelihood of the occupants dieing in a crash to a fucking frightening level...

I mean ASIDE from the scariness that is the fact the rear suspension can FALL OFF THE CAR if the recall hasn't been done.

It effected a relatively small amount of cars, the control arms you are talking about that were separating. The 3 that were at my dealer werent even effected.

Magnesium would only be dangerous in the event of a fire

Wow, good timing with this one.

I got to ride in an '04 SRT10 last night and all I could say was Holy Shit! I was so damn impressed. The dude who owns it and drove it was beating the shit out of it. Ripped a nice donut for me too. That thing pulled like a mofo and OEM 345s out back

.

If I had a choice it would be really hard but at the end of the day I think I would go with the Z06. ZR1 hands down if that was an option though. I absolutely love the new ZR1.

Nothin like this though...

Gets loose in 4th and all the way through the low gears. Have to short shift it to keep em hooked.

0-200mph in 20 seconds is nuts.

Well this all got started innocently enough when my daughter ask me to go with her to look at a 09 Tahoe. The guy that owns the Chevy dealership here is a semi friend of mine and loves the Goat. So I am in the GTO and out on the lot looking at cars with my daughter and he comes out and wants to trade me heads up title for title for a 09 Vette. I tell him no way....he ups it to a Z6. I tell him I like the Viper better and we all laugh and he tells me his offer is good until he gets the Goat. So we go home and my daughter tells Mama. Mama sez she doesnt want anymore cars in the garage but she does like the Vettes and so the "offer" was made by Mama "get rid fo the GTO and go get a Viper or the Vette.
Bottom line is this....We are getting ready to build her the retirment house and I have plans for a 6 cars shop for myself and she can have a attached 3 car garage.
My consideration is having too many cars and not driving them. That is a waste. If I have the truck/GTO and a Vette or Viper I can drive all of them enough to justify having them. But having all four is too many. I'm leaning towards the Viper though. I like the coupe.
