Not true. Here is the Nurburgring time for the Z06 and F430, the Z06 beat both Lambos and the F430!!!!Quote:

You can google it yourself and see. Even the BMW M5 beat the F430 which I think is more shocking. Like I said anyone tht is into cars never doubted for a second that the Z06 was faster than the F430.
By the way, I'm not some Vette fan, I love almost ALL cars. I will even defend Hyundai's. I just think its funny how most people, including you guys on here, don??t realize just how incredible the 06 Z06 is!
P.S. why does Top Gear have no commercials? When I download it it is a full hour with no breaks. Is BBC 2 a pay channel like HBO?
id still take the ferrari though! in britain we have a tv lisence, it cost around £100 a year, and it all goes to the bbc!even if you dont want to watch any bbc programs all year, we still have to pay a tv lisence!top gears the only good program on it!
Well I would take a F430 over a Z06 too!! I am a huge Ferrari fan boy, have been all my life. I think Ferraris are the best cars in the world without question!!Quote:

The Z06 is like a huge gift to the world!! It??s a poor man??s "Ferrari". Its power and performance almost unheard of at any price let alone at the price it actually costs. I don??t understand why people like to try to hate it so much. There is just not a faster production car on earth for the money!
So do you guys have any commercials on any of the BBC 1, 2, and 3 channels?
the bbc only advertises its own programs on its tv and radio stations, hence the lisencing fee, so no real adverts at all. if i had the cash for a Z06, i think id buy an audi rs4 for around the same price, maybe even a subaru impreza, but im happy with my ford focus for now!
I'm not a big VW/Audi fan so I would really never consider the RS4. Even though the RS4 is about the first good car they have made, that isn??t totally front heavy.Quote:

I like the Focus a lot too. But at this point in my life I really don??t plan to ever buy a FWD car again. I drive one now (Acura RSX) but my next car will be AWD or RWD for sure. I hope Ford will someday make the production 300HP/turbo/AWD Focus like they have been talking about for 5 years now! ;)
i wish i had a 4 wheel drive car today, its been snowing in my area, a rare thing, and i took my focus for a spin. lets just say i now realise why FWD isnt any good in those conditions! i think my next car will be my old mans brand new 2.0TDI ford mondao, hes already racked up 9,000 miles in 4-5 months, nice car though
Yeah my RSX is TERRIBLE in the snow. my driveway is on a slight hill, not even that steep. But if we get 3" or more I get stuck trying to go up it every time! Plus the ABS kicks in way too early and often in the snow. I have come within inches of hitting the car in front of me several times because of the damn ABS. If I could just lock the breaks up I would be able to stop a lot sooner. A lot of that it the terrible stock Michelin Pilot??s I have on the car but still. It is just not a good snow car at all. And we average about 25? a year here and we have already had 15? just this winter so far.Quote:

Very nice! What year is that? Nice rims too. I have an old 95 Protege (was sold as the 323 in Japan and Europe) that I use as my winter beater. Its a good little car even though it only has a 1.5L, 90BHP engine! LOL The other day I got beat off the line by a city bus!! LOL I'm not even kidding! But I know there are some very nice 323s.Quote:
