The worst are the ones that mod the CRAP out of it so it doesn't even turn anymore. Crazy power to the wheels that they can't even put down.

Then they just turn around and sell them, sheesh!? Who ARE these fools?

Whats worse are the numbnuts who continually "spin" their car and slam into curbs-yet, they don't listen when we tell them to buy new tires.

It can definitely be made to be a quarter mile beast - if you have the time, energy, and bank account.
Sure, but it will be WHOOMPED by a 5.0 Muffstain by some dufus with less time, patience and a LOT less $$$.

lets just say that my car spun out on me again and i hit the curb and my right rear rim is gone and my right passenger rim is scraped pretty bad. if i had brand new tires it wouldn't have been the case because i wouldnt have spun out but my tires were bald as hell and i was going between 30-35 MPH on dale mabry heading home from work. i had the car straight and i felt like the car was about to spin out so i had my foot of the gas and it was normal for like 2 seconds and then all of a sudden the car spun out. i drive SLOW AS HELL in the rain but that didnt help. so far i put the spare on and took it to the body shop i took my car to before and they called and said i have suspension damage. so im waiting for my adjuster to call me back and if it comes down to me biting the bullet then im just gonna take a loan and get the car done the way i want it to be done. this shit really sucks.

- Who the heck does that?

After no more than like 3 passes on the Dragon at WTD07' I left to have the local shop replace my rear tires - extremely glad I did so too...

I heard $100k is if you're lucky... they're going well over MSRP at dealers due to supply / demand.
Yeah, I was just talking MSRP. I can't justify $75k for a Z06. That's a LOT of money, too much to spend on a car.

I think $60k is about my personal mental limit for a new car.
