I really like the first gen R8's - if I had the cheddar, I'd certainly have a V8 or V10 with a gated stick. Great under-the-radar exotic. Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - G.Irish - 01-19-2017 Yeah when I think about it the first gen R8 is probably the best supercar value for a gated manual. A F430 manual costs at least twice as much. I'm not a huge fan of the exterior styling but in the right color combinations it looks pretty sharp.

Had the car for 2 yrs during that time I logged about 6000 miles, original owner Tim ( in his early sixties) had it for about 20 mos and 11,000 miles. So total miles on the build is about 16,500 miles. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - SlimKlim - 01-24-2017 Goodspeed Wrote:$45,000 OBO ![]() Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - ViPER1313 - 01-24-2017 If there was only a car out there with a well sorted chassis and an LS motor that you could easily get for 45k. Like a Corvette Z06.... Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - ViPER1313 - 01-24-2017 Also, at 45 large, I get to be super picky. The 1970s Corvette lettering on those valve covers looks horrid.

Center of gravity, suspension design and size of tire matter - you know all of this. My Saturn weighed roughly 2300lbs and had no sporting presence whatsoever. No amount of suspension overhaul will make a Saturn chassis handle like a Porsche Cayman, weight be damned. I would say the same thing is true of a 100 something HP Miata chassis vs a Z06. And a C6 Z06 has an extra 100hp, which doesn't hurt either ![]() Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - .RJ - 01-24-2017 ViPER1313 Wrote:My Saturn weighed roughly 2300lbs and had no sporting presence whatsoever. You shut your whore mouth Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - Steve85 - 01-24-2017 I love the idea (ever since Monster Miata was putting fox body 5.0s in them) and it looks great but I imagine getting pretty frustrated with 400hp and 255 tires.

Not samesame but similar (3.42 or whatever GM rear end). They just sorta scoot.

I would say the same thing is true of a 100 something HP Miata chassis vs a Z06.Sure but the question is will the additional handling prowess of the Corvette chassis be enough to overcome a weight disadvantage of 800+ lbs? The Miata is already an excellent handling platform, even if it's not designed for 400 whp. And 400 hp with 255 tires? No problem, I've got 200 hp going through one 190 tire and I can assure you it's no problem. Granted I've got really advanced traction control but still.

The Miata is already an excellent handling platform, even if it's not designed for 400 whp. It's called balance. Have fun hauling a 400rwhp miata that is modified to the same level of grip as a corvette. There is a reason high horsepower cars are both longer and wider...

Definitely scootin'! Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - SlimKlim - 01-24-2017 There's a joke in here somewhere about how guys always overestimate their wheelbase or something. |
