You can talk about whoop ass when you ride a liter sport bike all day through some twisties. A girl can lay rubber in a hotrod, just ain't that hard. Now staying on a race bike and putting it through its paces, that's whoop ass territory.Wow, all this disrespectful talk about old people!! That's a good way to get multiple cans of whoop ass opened up on ya.

As for us old farts driving slow it is probably so you youngsters can catch up to us and be jealous of what we can afford to purchase, and operate, on the other hand we might just be enjoying the ride.

The 35 is cool but unless you're all over the throttle then you might as well be in a maxima.
That makes it even sweeter!!!Don’t you mean enjoying someone else’s ride?
When’s the last time either left the garage, eh?
That was indeed the lesson.The words Debris and British sports car are synonyms.
I feel old and out of touch. I’ve never seen fast and furious and am not sure if I know what a GTR is.
66 GTO and 69 Torino Cobra were my rides...
I'll outride you on any street bike any day. Won't offer to do it on a dirt bike. The riding is totally different, and I am an admitted neophyte.While I only went as high as 600cc, I certainly invite you to try and whoop my ass.
The v10 and the seating position of an R8 seems like a good compromise for similar money. An early F430 is a good way to get into something with a little character as well..That was my thought as well when my friend let me drive his R35. Very fun car, but if you weren't getting on it, it was very tame. I like something that still lets you know what you're driving even when you're not getting on it.

GTO's...in my youth I owned at various times a 65 convertible, 66 hardtop, 67 hardtop with tri-power, 68 black on black. Almost bought myself a 62nd birthday present and made it a straight flush when a '69 clone went up for sale in town a couple weeks ago. Very nice, 389, maroon, hideaway headlight convertible. But it had an automatic...just couldn't do it.
Corvette's never really did much for me, other than the split-window coupe.
Actually far more than I needed to know.This is all you need to know:
Gives a good understanding why manual transmissions are dead. You cannot shift these things fast enough. No way a manufacturer is going to let the driver be the limiting factor to the best 1/4 mile and 0-60 numbers they can get. The limit at the moment and for a long time to come will be traction obviously. I dont know why someone would take their gtr ro 2,000 hp but it makes me want to go to 1000-1200 with mine.This is all you need to know:
Wait. What.Honestly, I’ve always thought of a Corvette as the redneck sports car. I like the new body style, but I’d take a Mustang over one any day.
The only thing more redneck-y than a mustang is a diesel ram with towing mirrors extended, even with no trailer.
Calls Corvette a redneck sports car
The makers of the cars need a faster number or else nobody will buy one.I don't care if the auto is faster, it's not as fun. Might as well program an aerobatic routine, push the autopilot button, and let the computer fly it. Snooze fest.

Kinda like when Apple puts out a new iPhone every year and the ads always say "the most powerful iPhone ever made". Well if it was worse than last years you would be going backwards and that's not good for business. If your car can't beat the old ones numbers then you have failed at design.Well, they do cater to the lowest rung on the ladder.
Why do polite, educated, well groomed people ride Harleys?
they do? .....

Well everyone I know buying high end sports cars only care about the numbers. It's kinda they way things are right now. It's just a waiting game to see who the runner up to the Tesla roadster is going to be at this time.You missed the point. Only making it about numbers is the failure.

It's very clear that electric is the future. Joking is fun and games but the truth is the truth.The one that passes it on the side of the road with dead batteries..........
