oh boy .... lol but its rediculously priced though... Personally i wouldnt mind having the new Aston Martin DB9S technically that is owned by Ford... Some of it is manufactured in the US...

And i guess that a $300k car isn't considered ridiculously priced car either? DB9...peshaw

Technically, to be 100% accurate... there isnt even a pricetag on the DB9S yet.... U are refering to the DB9... Im guessing that the 2 will be in excess of $450k

yea and the saleen is only .4 seconds faster than the vette. and i bet the SS will be as fast as the s7 turbo

The S7 Turbo is currently the 2nd fastest car you can buy, just behind the Bugatti Veryhon.(sp?)

10.7 1/4, 0-60 2.7 top speed 230plus

the one they were quoting was from the original test back in 2003 with only 550hp. the new engine is in excess of 750hp.

what it all boils down to is, yes the corvette is going to be fast, but in all reality, if you had the pick between the two and you didn't have to pay for either...you know that deep down you would go for the Saleen too. Cause the other is just a corvette

it maybe just a corvette but i would rather have it. and then i would buy a saleen.

Sure, it's a nice looking car. If I want to look at one, I'll look at someone else's. I'm not looking for envy points from people - and sure as hell aren't looking for resentment.
But for $100K, I'd hope people looked at it and saw something different than just "a Corvette". :help:
And when people look at it, they expect it to be fast. Being fast isn't going to raise anyone's eyebrows.
My Civic isn't half as fast as that Corvette, but it's a lot more fun surprising people with my supercharger underhood in a car no one expects to be that quick.
And it's downright sad that my 11 year old Civic has a higher-grade interior quality than the Playskool interior they put in those Corvettes (although that's not nearly the shame that the interior in Cadillac SLR's is ). Hell, it's ironic that the interior in the HHR is classier than the 'Vette.
I don't know, I just don't see the appeal. For $100K, I want something exotic that people haven't seen before, that gets people excited, that surprises people - even if I have to make it myself by modifying something else.
Think about what you could modify into something beyond "exceptional" with a budget of $100K for car and modifications! :happy055:

id like to see that interior job

Now it's the third... Veyron is in second
Behold the SSC Ultimate Aero TT: http://www.sscautos.com/specifications.asp
Top Speed 270+mph

270mph is only what the Aero TT is geared for. You will NEVER hit that in that car.

Veyron can only, and very narrowly, beat a McLaren in a straight line. McLaren still owns it overall.
