Yes, I have a 'vette.

I'd like a Z06 but it is more than I can reasonably afford.
I have an '86 that I dropped the original 385 HP z06 motor in. I think the new Z06 Lt's are 405 HP. I had a picture of my 'vette on the boards in another thread but when I went there, the picture was gone. Mine has the new crate motor, different tranny, and stereo, otherwise it's a stock '86. Even when I repainted it, had it done in same factory color. Sorry for the confusion but it is Phoenix International Raceway. I'm sure my friend Eric will have someone taking pictures.... he's an Audi fanatic and from what I'm told the RS6 is a limited run production model. I truly don't know a lot about them. I loaned my truck to my brother in law earlier in the week so drove the 'vette for a day and coincidently met Eric for lunch...and thus the conversation about who would get around the track the fastest commenced. I read a blurb that the RS6 has a speed limiter on it at 155..if this is true, my 'vette will definitely be faster...but like I said... it's his day.. he's going to win.

Heeheh, ya.. having a 'vette only would be impractical...have a p/u plus my 'vette... wife drives a Saturn... a Saturn.. geez... she picked it out.

I think I found how to post a pic... or at least the link.(this is before new paint)How the heck are people still posting pics here?? I don't get it.

Steve, very nice Vette!

I'm not rich and can't affored the pricey stuff. I do have a 1982 280ZX which I enjoy. It's really fun in the San Diego summer with the t-tops off. It isn't the fastest thing around and some of you have some very nice cars. I rarely drive it though and so it is low miles for its age and just last week I found out the battery is dead. It's also time for some new paint too. My normal drive is a Honda Accord though.

Nissan R-34 Skyline GTR (japan only, not exported to USA) + Aftermarket performance parts will out perform any american sports cars out there (including the Corvette LOL).

who says Japs can't create sports cars???

This car's price tag is similar to that of Corvete C5 if you were to convert the Japanese Yen to US dollar. Skyline GTR is also 4 wheel drive and it can still out perform the Corvette at dirt:D

Ike do you own an R34? And how do you know what cars it will out-perform??

Ike 2K# · « **Reply #41 on:** May 18, 2003, 03:29:15 AM »

The R-34's horsepower can be increased with HKS turbocharger, HKS intercooler and ect as high as 400 to 1000HP.

yeah theres some insanly tuned skylines in the uk 1010hp last i heard. Dont like new r-34 tho prefer r-32's and earlier models.
