Two things... One, no matter how cool the car, you're pumping some other dudes gas!

Number 2, that car is not that nice. WAY too long of a hood. Yea I'm sure it's fast and attracts attention bc it's loud, big and different but I wouldn't have one. Now the new gull wing... YUMMY! . He got one of those? If not, tell him it's time to trade up.

And I guess third, don't compare a camaro to a several hundred thousand dollar car. Of course it's no comparison. That's as rediculas as coparing a camaro to a freakin prius!

so much negativity about one of the nicest supercars around. Do you guys like anything not gm built?





It's a zr1 with a fully carbon fiber body and an unbelievable interior. Looks aren't everything. Personally, I think it looks alright. It's fast as piss and keeps you comfy. Great combo.

Nice...looks like a shark in the front.

My favorite is the Aston Martin...got any friends driving around in one of those.

I agree Ferrari even Maserati and others look way better, ZL1 even has it in the looks department easily

I get weak in the knees when I see an Aston Martin, you won't hear me admit that very often ...Maserati's didn't do much for me when I first saw it, which surprised me....admittedly, it was at night, but I thought a Corvette was following me until a street light reflected off of the trident.

Maseratis are beautiful cars but they take a beating in resale as compared to Lambos and F cars. You can buy a nice Maserati Q or Maserati Gransport both with msrps North of 125k 2006 models for a little more than a new Camaro SS about 40k

I love the Aston Martin's!! The dealer is about a mile from my place. All the high end and exotic dealers are within a couple of blocks I often go down there and drool. Lol

Drive one and you will see why they are so cheap.

I hate to guess what it would cost if you ever need to repair it.

My dad got his fully loaded '06 gran sport that stickered for 137k for 64k. It had 870 miles on it the day we drove it off the lot. That was in '08, now it has just over 10k miles. Fantastic car for the money.

They're so cheap because the gran turismo came out the next year. Why do you think they're so cheap?
