<< And all this coming from someone that drives a Camry with a gold package on it as well as new wheels and tires. If you are going to drive a Camry, leave it as a Camry and not a tricked out little sedan. >>


Fool, that's straight from the factory. The BBS wheels and gold trim were apart of the luxury package that included leather and a power moonroof. Do you want to see my window sticker? Don't come in hear telling me about MY car which you don't no one #@$ damn thing about. Stick to what you know.

Ha! I knew I would get to you. Just trying to stir you up since you hate NASCAR. Nothing wrong with your car. I happen to drive a truck. A 99 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Ext Cab.

I am starting to not like the Tacoma, but my soon to be wife and I just bought her a 2000 Accord Coupe EX. That thing is pretty sweet. Pretty peppy 200HP V6.

I have been drooling over my dad's new Z71. Loaded with the 285HP V8. It will haul ass for a 4x4.

Mega, You're a minority when it comes to having bad things to say about the previous generation's Vette design. It wasn't overdone and I think thats why so many people liked it, it had nice tight lines, but it also flowed very well.

The new model on the other hand from the front looks loose in comparison, it basically looks lifted from an Rx-7! The side intakes look pretty cheesy, and to my eyes the plasticky body panels look flabby, not taught like the previous model. The back end is not bad, but thats basically a carry over from the previous model.

I could be wrong, but I think we are going to see something from GM soon to restake its claim in the performance car market.

It ain't gonna do shit b/c the Viper GTS will still eat it alive;) Not to mention that new Viper is right around the corner....MUAHAHAHAHA :)

Chevy is suck. Ford is suck. Remember those two things and you'll go far. :)

I'd buy a Chrysler or related make before anything from either of those crap companies. It's too bad Ford soiled the good name of Jaguar in my mind, I'll never forgive them for that. :|

For $40k give me an S4.

If the roads are even mildly damp, it will smoke almost anything in it's price range.

BoberFett are you my long lost brother? ;) I'm anxious to hear what people are going to say when chryco puts out the new charger too. There might also just be &quot;rumors&quot; of a new daytona as well.... I have a feeling that over the next 10 years we're really gonna watch chryco take a big hold of the american market from chevy and ford!

GM is suck, Ford is ok, but Chrysler has always been more innovative. Just observe how they push the limits of North American car design, no other big 3 car maker takes risks that Chrysler does. GM tries, but their designers seem to be lost in the 70's trying to look current. IMO.

215 hp gt cruiser not too bad...doesn't seem like a car to drive around fast in though (top heavy!)...

I would guess its 0-60 be around 6.5 now, maybe a tiny bit lower...

But how is the build quality of the 300M gonna be after a few years? What about it's reliability? Is it gonna fall apart?

Wasn't Jaguar about the most unreliable car in the world before Ford bought them?

Throw in a 6 speed tranny, and you'll have a car that'll be head to head with some of the finer cars in the world, i.e, Lexus LS430, Mercedes E320, etc, etc. Only thing Chrysler doesn't have, is genuine wood, LOL!:)

As for the Corvette...after Chevy presented the ZO6...you've still got the nerve to knock it? TSK TSK! Sure it has an ugly ass interior...but I'm sure you're not gonna notice that zipping around the racetrack at speeds in excess of 130mph.

Actually, the LHS and 300M get real &quot;California&quot; wood for '01. It's about damn time ;)

one word :
Ferrarri Modena 360

I've never really liked american cars, but I'm european and because of that chauvinistic and biased.

That PT cruiser is hideous and is horrible to drive according to reviews I've read.
I don't like that corvette either.

The ferrarri is more than 40k of course but god damn it's art!!! :D



Schumy rules !!!!!!!!
