Found this posted on RAC's FB page this morning & decided to make a quick inquire. Luckily, they're trying to move it soon, so they seem like they'll be happy to make a deal.

The body kit isn't the nicest thing, but the car has got some power mods to back it up. Mileage kind of worries me, but should have an opportunity to drive it next week.

Good luck Rick! That's a great looking Supra

y no Lambo?!?!

Rick_TL-S

The only Lambo. I'll ever have a chance of driving is if we get another in & by some mystical power, my boss says, "Get it cleaned up".

charliemike

That bodykit isn't bad at all. It seems to fit the era of the car.

srika

so this is supposed to be "it"... supposedly straight from marketing people....

but I'm not gonna post it in Corvette thread because it is not "news"... yet....

also they are saying there will be a Stingray version.... (NICE!)

srika

if its gonna sit like that... wow.. aggressive as fawk.....

ttribe

Don't like the taillight design, at all. Looks too cartoon-ish.

charliemike

If the whole rear end is a separate piece like the C6 where the rear panels and the bumper are separate, I bet you could get someone to make you a new one for a fee.

ttribe

Of that I have no doubt. Unfortunately, the aftermarket Corvette body kit market is plagued with stuff even worse than the C7 design shown above.

Aman

That's what I was going to say

I like the rear of that Corvette drawing. Minus the vents next to the taillights, and I wish the quads were a little more seperated.

Anyone hear about the refreshed E63? 577 horsepower, 590lb-ft of torque available

srika

I'm going to bet you will be singing a different tune when the official pictures are released...

Dat wagon doe!

ttribe

Maybe. It wouldn't be the first time I've changed my mind after an initial impression.

Aman

Wagon a doe doe!

Wow, I hope that's not black plastic on the bottom half...

Last weekend, I was a short road trip with one of my friends in his brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Although, not a bad ride, I couldn't get over how bad the navigation system was. It seemed quite slow for being hard drive based, graphics were pretty bad, and it relied too much on the touchscreen.

I am sure I could get used to it with time, but I was expecting more on a 2012 model...

I dont hate the new C7. I dont love it either, but its certainly not as bad as I was expecting.

I'm beginning to think that if I don't mind a car payment, why the hell am I not leasing?

Am I taking crazy pills?

srika

no way, leasing is great IMO. and, it's what I should have done, the last time I bought a car. anyways

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Leasing works in certain situations. Make sure the residual is high, that way you pay less.

Someone like myself could never lease a car, I drive way too much.

charliemike

I would keep my second car to mitigate that.

Residual definitely applies. Need to do research.

speedemon90

I've never understood why lease over buying??

The part about not actually owning the car doesnt sit well with me.

srika

yeah it does depend on situation. at least the way it was explained to me.

I think of leasing like renting an apartment vs. owning property. Similarly, with the horrible resale value of most cars, owning one is not as cracked up as it used to be.

charliemike

It is essentially renting, I know.

But I am not a 10-year car guy. I work hard and don't piss away money on silly shit so I was thinking why not spend $500/mo on something I like every 30 months.

Rick_TL-S

It's great if you like switching up what you like to drive every couple years without having to actually worry about selling the car & getting what you want back to put towards another new car.

On another topic, why did that stupid snow day have to fall on the day I had off last week? Thanks to the snow, I initially had to wait til' this Thursday to go look at the Supra. Well, no more worries there; they sold it Saturday.
