How can you compare a corvette to a Ferrari Sergio? Production is 31,000 to 7000 or whatever it is. Cost sets the market for the type of car you think you need.

I scratch my head and wish I had the time back I wasted reading this nonsense.

If you read these threads thinking a general discussion will stay on topic- well- I've got news for you. Keep scratchin'

[QUOTE=paulie;3475922]Absolutely trying to keep it real.

I dig that you, and others, think I'm letting the line counter out but all I'm doing is posing the question.

Yes it bothers me that my uncle took me out in his Silver Series Vette and it felt like we were going to shake apart at not even 120 mph. He had it buried/right to the floor
band.


Ol Paulie was talking about a Silver Series Vette, 1980 ish, 35 years ago.
You want a Super Car than go pay $1-3,000,000 for it.
Mine coat less than $100,000. But I'll sell to you for $1,000,000.
I'll take the logos off and put on Lambo logos and you wouldn't
know the difference.
I know, it's the middle of winter, bored.

Thats not the point.


Sure its cool you love your vette. Enjoy your American supercar.

"Betcha I can throw a football over them mountians" is what come to mind reading some of the these posts.

Next time I think about supercars will be the first.

At the very best that is only a concept car.

However, if you read the comments the whole thing is probably nothing more than a April's fool joke.

How bout dat?

If you read the article there are some doubts about the organization that reported that time. They don't seem to be very reputable.



But again, hopefully it is true .

Let me give you the manufacturers link. That was poor timing on the press release.

You can take for a ride in one in 2016.
