I've owned 2 Vipers, a 427, a ZL1 and plenty of other high-HP cars, and driven at Lime Rock, Sebring and LVMS. It's not about power. As an automatic, my car will never be pushed beyond 7 or 8/10. I...

I only like the look of the GS/Z06 body. In 2013, I had a 427. Don't care for the base cars. I just sold my ZL1 so now looking for the next weekend driver.

(New) C6 GS Wheel & Tire Question

Ok, so I may soon buy a '12-'13 GS. I WANT to run narrower tires in the rear. Why? because the GS does not need 325 rear tires - only 430HP - and there are more tire options, especially in A/S...

Sold the Viper a few years ago. I've got some offers for the ZL1, but a dealer friend of mine told me it's too early to sell a convertible - April would be better.

My point was, which 'market' spoke? Not the looking-for-a-convertible-for-summer market, for sure. I was always afraid I was too early. And I learned that less than 40% of the cars in BaT auctions...

Yep, still for sale after bidding got up to $71,150. And yes, BaT read my criticism.

Those wholesale numbers are rubber. When I use the online tools, it can't even process less than 1,000 miles...

I hear ya. When I had my E46, it just felt too refined, not visceral. When I test drove the C5, the front end came up like a speed boat on the throttle, and I was like, "oh hell yeah." It just got...

True, but back then, and now, I recommend buying cars that you enjoy, not as investments. The 333HP E46 was boring as hell to me, where as the C5 was much more fun.

Hmm, didn't know that...

I have a theory about collectable car values: People pay extra for 'naughty.' I had an E46 M3 back in the day - that was boring. I traded it to get my first Vette, a C5.
