Reviving this thread. Nothing like going through some gears listening to pj . 71 c3 ls5. Any other hot rodders out there.

There is lots of us!

Just got the Evo working good so can use the stereo instead of listening for things. Still like to drive with it off though

Yes.... the sounds of an engine can be music to the ears. Love the Evo's.

I really want to check this out!

The engine isn't terribly special for sound on it but it has a nice intake and growly exhaust.

I also want to try one of those.
Wish they'd add some more power or a turbo though.

Yeah it's around 200 hp and 150 torque.
Gorgeous cars though, that and the BRZ (prefer the Scion personally). Back seat is kinda useless. Highly touted handling, look forward to trying that!

Got any driving vids of you having fun with the car?

Rygar

I've got one of the exhaust and an engine vid but I haven't got them to youtube yet.
I am hesitant to slap my gopro on the outside of my car for a video but will get around to it I'm sure lol

Nope, but I don't drive like a maniac either.

Other than acceleration I don't really go much faster top end than I do with my dd.

The Corvette C7 Stingray is a very tempting purchase @ under $60K. That's still a ton of money ... But a hell of a deal for what you get. :geek:

seen a few around my town recently, look great, not too sure about the back. Z06 will be out soon, that should be amazing.

But like you said, for the amount of car you get for the price makes it a solid buy. I'd take the stick shift with that performance pack? They offer.

Also Black On Black.

I'm saving up for a car myself right now, looking to purchase sometime in 2014.

New Corvette Z06

What does using a radar detector have to do with driving like a maniac?

Radar Detectors are used to help drivers understand when revenue seekers (aka Traffic Cops) are around, going a few miles over the limit is not driving like a maniac, running red lights, break checking, turning and not signaling, distracted driving should be classified as maniac driving.

Not people who travel a bit over the limit, which most of us probably do, also we have outdated speed laws, we have cars that are safer, stop better than ever before, yet how often do we see speed limits increase? Hardly (but it does sometimes happen)

I encourage drivers to use radar detectors and/or laser jammers

Police officers hiding behind a tree shooting people with lasers is nuts, police officers dressed up as the Easter Bunny while clocking people is a joke.

Its not about protection, rather making money.

booo, that quote got messed up,

I have a 2005 Elantra for college, still have it to this day, and runs fine. 2014 Mustang GT is my fun car, police magnet red.
