Well, though muscle cars of today have lots of faults (Mustang/Shelby, 300C/Charger SRT8, Corvette, Viper, etc) not much other cars out there  have their appeal. Their cars are styled purely American design and their engines are as enormous as they were during the original muscle car era.

American cars are really criticized a lot by the world.
Think about it; wouldn't it feel weird if a big American sedan had some really sharp handling? Or some big fat American coupe that can be taken to the sharpest circuits and produce the best lap times?
Yes. It will feel weird if an American car is perfect.
American cars are not perfect and thats why I love them. I love the way they are unsophisticated. I love the way they are very heavy and has mediocre handling. I love the way they have enormous dimensions. I love the very American styling. I just love the whole package.
Why it really appeals to me more is that, in Malaysia, muscle cars are extremely rare, in fact all US-made cars are rare, and owning one will make your car really stand out and be unique. In Malaysia, all V8 cars are MBs or Ferraris, SUVs and such.
You want to experience the real feel of a real V8, you drive a muscle car. Full stop.
As for the current Corvette C6 Z06, it has been a massive improvement overall from its predecessor - the C5.
It can be taken to the track, and driven properly it gives the right lap times. The Z06 is is quite often the benchmark now for an entry-level supercar.

Well, the 6.2L is the base Corvette. The "super" version is the Z06 (LS7 engine, 7.0L V8) and the ZR1 (7.0L V8 supercharged).

You say it costs RM360k, but do you know I can buy an Aston Martin V8 Vantage for about US$80k? tongue.gif

That's only RM240,000. Stupid Malaysian taxes. >.<

EXOTIC car with EXOTIC price... The Stupid Malaysian taxes also show that Malaysian is REALLY RICH (Until you "beh tahan")... flex.gif
even with that taxes, they also BOLEH... and also BANYAK... brows.gif

You'll feel prouder when you own an Supercar or Exotic car in Malaysia rather in other country... icon_rolleyes.gif

If I'm not mistaken, the 997 Turbo wheels are available as an option for the Cayman (2008+ ones only).

I've seen those wheels displayed at the Porsche showroom..

aren't the z06 lapped the nurburgring in slightly faster time than the porsche 911 and some offering from ferrari?
imo, the z06 is definitely among the best offering fron the states. it was a lot better in handling department.
perhaps it fits into mid range supercar as well. correct me if i am wrong.
