CAR-AZY PRICES
NY Post ^ | ALY SUJO

Posted on 02/26/2005 4:48:07 AM PST by Pharmboy

February 26, 2005 -- For a car that can go from zero to 60 in less than three seconds, the Saleen 7 is one hot set of wheels. But at a shriek-inducing $559,500, it's hardly a hot seller. The S7, which tops Forbes magazine's list of high-priced autos, is a race car that's been "tamed" for the billionaire impulse shopper.

Unfortunately, no one's biting.

".taking three high school girls "

I'm not gonna preen like a peacock, but a buddy and me picked up 9 chicks one night. He had 5 in the backseat and I had 4 in the front.

Sadly after the eve. was over and we took them back to their hotel, all the offered us was a piece of pie.

...I'll say this much for that mill-- it has the serpentine belt of all serpentine belts.

I'd probably change it with the oil...

My wife wants to be buried in her 300ZX, "Tiger"...

She had trouble with West Virginia ice... and we bought a parts car until we finish a rebuild... We now have a new nose and, in the meantime, had a fire in another one's engine compartment, frying a couple of harnesses. We just bought another parts car... so we can keep them on the road. We rent a house with a large garage, just to do the repairs, and have our driveway clear. We just drive over and grab a car... when we wish to have a change... (that's an '87 Conquest TSI that she adores, as well.) We also do Isuzu Turbo Impulses. They are all rice rockets... Most of the time, I drive a Towncar...

It seems, time has passed me by too...like the Democrats.

Mine is a 2000 M5. At that time, it was the fastest PRODUCTION car in the world.

Is the Cobra a production car...or is it a car that is turned over to Shelby, etc., and modified? The same with the C-6 Vette.

Neither of those cars comes off the assembly line as such. They are modified..albeit before they reach the buyer. They are not stock cars off the line. Are they?

The C6 Corvette is absolutely stock off the assembly-line. Specs are 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and top speed of 186 mph. (I made an error in my original post. It's 2005, not 2006). You can buy one from your local Chevy dealer. And they are very reliable for everyday use. It's a beautiful thing.

I don't know for sure about the Cobra, whether it is production or modified.

That car rocks! When Fred and the gang all used their feet at the same time that car would blow the doors off any Mayback.

I live in Oklahoma where there is a lot of open space on the freeways and a run from 40 to 120 can happen very quickly.

My car is Mustang Cobra, underrated at 390hp, stock. Its not even close to stock now. I buy cars to modify them and its easier to modify a car with a factory supercharger.
