Hehe i just heard from a mate that this some estonian guy came here with a Ferrari on a cruise ship and he managed to drive like 30m away from the boat until he crashed the Ferrari.
Started to drift and drifted for like 20m until he crashed.
(Crashing a Ferrari in Finland... This was probably the first time
)
There's probably only like 10 Ferrari's in the whole country.

lol wut
other: 2007 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06! 505 horses of raw chevy v8 power! also i !CRAVE! the new '09 Camaro!
the new 'vette has 505 horses and still beats a murci in fuel economy. the lambo only has about 540-550 horses. the lambo has 9 mpg city 13 mpg highway, so don't waste your money on it! the Z06 has 16 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.

Who gives a F*ck about fuel economy, that is a losers attempt to give you a edge over a car that is in general better and WAY better looking then your own attempt.
IF you buy a car like a Murciélago you don't care about fuel economy you care about what the car looks like and what it can do, and not to forget the heratige and craftmanship!
Please do not compare a Corvette with A Lamborghini!

I'm torn between Aston Martin and Lotus.
If I won the Lottery, I'd buy a DB9 or DBS.
However, one of my favourite cars of all time is the Lotus Esprit - I was nearly tempted to take out a loan and buy a 2nd hand V8 a few years ago, just really couldn't afford it, let alone the insurance - hence I voted Lotus.
And yes, I DO count Lotus as Exotic, except for the Elise, which is common as muck in my country! Though since we make them, I suppose it's not that surprising

Heritage? Lamborghini? You've gotta be kidding me. They started out building tractors. Besides, the first Lamborghini car wasn't built until '63, a full ten years after the first Corvette went into production. In fact, does Lamborghini even have any significant racing victories? And, uhh, craftsmanship? Sure, the Corvette may have some cheap bits, some bendy parts. But I'd wager that any pre-Audi Lambo is far more likely to break than a Corvette (in fact, most of the tests of Lamborghinis I recall reading mention a variety of different failiures).TheStig wrote:Who gives a F*ck about fuel economy, that is a losers attempt to give you a edge over a car that is in general better and WAY better looking then your own attempt.

And as for performance? The Lambo does have more power, but it's also saddled with far too much weight (I think it's about the same as my truck). It's not as if it's significantly faster than the Vette, now is it (come to think of it, the Vette was faster around the Top Gear track). As far as I'm concerned, Lamborghinis are only overpriced wankermobiles, meant to impress the mere mortals who don't know a damn thing about cars. I dig the Muira and the Countach, but that's it.
The passably decent fuel economy that the Vette gets? That's just a little bonus on top of the incredeble performance/value thing.
I know they started building Tractors (and still do!) but that doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about.
And yes it is still a craftmanship! even though some parts wear out or get damaged to soon, but what do you expect... it's Italian... they always do that..
That is part of the Italian tradition...
But still you can't compare a Corvette with a Lamborghini. even the Tractors got more class then a Vette.
The Problem with the corvette's is that they try to hard to roll with the big boys, but simply can't (don't give me a C5R/C6R lecuture cause those cars are not normal cars!)
Fact is that a Corvette is NOT a Exotic and will NEVER be one. it's a fast Yank and that's it!
Look I got nothing against American cars, they build alot of decent cars for the domestic scene. As far as I know there simply isn't a car from the US that came after the Model T ford that was popular world wide.
They try go get a hold on the european market with the the Caddy CTS, they even got a Diesel and a Stationwagon for it.. there is a dealership that sells Caddies where I live (together with SAAB and chevrolet... they got a C6 there and that's it)
And you know how much CTS's I seen driving around.....
NONE! I see a baby escalade (don't know what it's named and don't care really, it looks like a Escalade but then a pocketsize version)
They simply can't get on the european market. simply because the competition is to big and to be honest...alot better!
but back to what I was saying the corvette is a nice sportscar trough the generations and yes it got a history. but that doesn't make it a exotic.

I agree, it's not an exotic (too cheap), but I fail to see what the average exotic does that the Vette doesn't (other than a good ego stroking).
And, as I said, Corvettes have been around ten years longer than Lamborghinis. You can't claim that Lamborghini has more heritage than the Corvette, unless there's a common link between the cars and the tractors (actually, I could see "drives like a fast tractor" describing quite a few older Lamborghinis).

the ego stroking is a important thing of a exotic.
Simply put a exotic has to turn the heads all over the globe. and trust me a covette simply does not do that as good as lets say a Ferarri, Lamborghini or a Aston Martin.
Look you like exotics or you don't. but it is not only the price that makes a car a exotic. it is the way it looks, it's build, it sounds. simply put the attention to detail.
And that is where the american cars fail to follow.
Lets compare the vetto C6 Z06 with a Aston martin DB9 to see what's the diffirence
the Vette is cheaper it is about half the pice. but what makes the Aston a exotic and the Vette not?
- well to start at the exterior, the Vette is made out of recycled wheeliebins (cheap plastic!!)
- insde the vette you will find more plastic, and ugly plastic also... but that is normal in american cars.. looks like the amount of plastic is the measurement for luxury! the more the better)
while the aston uses natural materials like wood and leather for the trim not cheap ass plastic!
The audio system in a Aston is made by Linn in the UK and is made specificly for the car, to give the best music/sounds possible. ooh and for those who don't know linn systems.

yeah the vette got more power and is cheaper.
but it simply lacks in style and and that is what seperates a exotic from a normal fast car.

as i see it a corvette is NOT a Exotic...... the corvette is too cheeply made compared to a lambo or Aston or something.... bottom line i dont think a corvette is an exotic because they just arent built like an exotic..... i'm not saying i don't like corvettes, i love corvettes, just i wouldn't count them as an exotic..
To StreekG an exotic is a car that is built with the features of an "Exotic" you can not tune a car and make it an exotic.... you can tune a car and then race an exotic and win but that doesn't mean that it is an exotic.....
