Car companies are around to sell cars. If no one buys them, it defeats the purpose.

It's American, of course it has no passion. Americans form of passion is a massive V8 in some car that's as exciting as a dead fish.

Well, I believe it was variant who on some other car forums page way back when said that, "Europe will always have there V12s and America well always have our 'so-called big, bulky & massive'V8s," I just guess it's a crime to have that as our passion, huh?? So I guess deal with it....and....oh, yeah btw, this so-called "big, heavy and unexciting machine" just recorded a lap record around Nurburgring, (that's Nordscheilfe to you, me and the rest of SC.net) in 7:59.07 as the fastest production sedan, so still a "dead fish" huh?? Oh, key word there is "S..E..D..A..N..", btw, Road & Track talks more about it in this months issue or on their home page of their website....oh....you.....know.... www.roadandtrack.com.

As if you also couldn't tell I don't see anything wrong with this car, that's just my own opinion. Oh, yeah I've got an issue of Motor Trend August '05 Jan Magnuson of Corvette Racing Team back then tested the '05 preproduction Z06 that did a 7:38.42 sec. time that Motor Trend witnessed and reported about, do you remember that?? Also in that same report I believe pg. 20-35 a Porsche Senior Test Driver said, "any good driver can do 8 minutes in a standard Porsche, but a great driver can do it in under 8 minutes in that same Porsche around the 'ring." So if you didn't want to take my word for it there it is for ya....and....oh....yeah, he later said, "anyone that goes under seven/half minutes has to have a great car as well not just being a great driver." Which btw this machine came within 29.39 sec. of doing the production car lap record AND THAT'S ON STREET TIRES!!!! Read it and....uh....oh, yeah weep, dude!!!!
