brand new car urge

As far as what new car to go with, I don't know of anything other than the blackwing that interests me. The new shit is all junk in my opinion so a dealer nearby would be a necessity as you already implied.

I personally want a low mile C6 ZR1 to fit the bill for what you described. I have a c6 grand sport that has a healthy cam and headers that I can't bring myself to throw a magnuson supercharger on. I'd rather put that towards a zr1.
I still have 2 weeks to go before the caddy dealer will accept an offer on the 25 blackwing , a chevy dealer finally answered that they have no allotments for a 26 z06 or e ray orders . Just bar napkin numbers on a supercharged dark horse is over 100 k i would have to order a 26 because the one on the showroom floor has a brutal color [kinda second thinking those numbers for a mustang] . My dealer search radius keeps expanding @ 100 miles now .

I love the power train in the mustangs, just not as huge fan of the cars themselves. Hope you find something you like that you can play around in amd enjoy!

If you want a Z06 order from McMulkin or Ciocca and either fly up and get it, do courtesy delivery, or do museum delivery. Local chevy dealers for ordering a $150k car are fucking useless... I bet here in Dallas we got 50 Chevy dealers within 150 miles. There is exactly ONE that is worth a shit when it comes to Corvette's. I think they sell about 250 Corvettes a years. McMulkin sells 10x that at almost 2000 Corvettes a year.

I think Museum deliver is now what, like 1995 option, but I have heard of dealers doing courtesy delivery charging north of a 1000 bucks... so museum delivery for an extra grand would be the way to go for me... But really im a sadist so I would be getting a one way ticket and driving the car home from McMulkin in NH...

This is what will happen if you do not gap the rings.

As I said originally, you can make 7-800 (rear wheel) horsepower fairly reliably if you do what I suggest. He's got the $$ for it. Why spend all that just to skip out on a few grand in engine mods.

Sorry for glossing over your post, the stupidity of suggesting its a good idea to bolt a blower on a stock engine, run around 12psi and everything is going to be all good just doesn't compute in my head.

Bad luck or a bad tune.

There's so many guys doing it without anything else that you're the standout.

Those all 3 specific examples of people killing the rings were on whipples’s tune. Luck has no place in machines.

Where are all these high mileage supercharged stock engined cars n trucks at? Yes people are doing it, and getting some jollies but the idea it doesn’t cause a plethora of other problems, is just false.

Thing is, many of the people going the dealer mod route don’t have the cash on hand to actually pay for the mods with out financing them, so dealer financing allows them to get there. Which is why they do it.

So my pepsi challenge. Where are all these high mileage dealer supercharge vehicles at? I haven’t seen anybody show one example of one.

I would still order a car from McMulkin or Ciocca and go get it. Like I said local dealers are generally shit unless you happen to have a decent one(pretty rare IMO). Nobody has an allocation that they will claim to have. McMulkin and Ciocca have the allocations and can actually get cars built. I believe McMulkin was doing 8% off 2026 orders last I checked.

IF you order think long and hard about going with a 3LZ interior... The dash bubbling is still alive and well. They just cant figure out the glue. The basically only difference from 2LZ to 3LZ is everything in the 3LZ is covered in leather or suede, beyond that 2LZ gets you everything 3LZ has equipment wise(PDR, all the blind zone sensors, digital rear view mirror, 14 speaker bose, etc... I think they sell the same amount of 2LZ cars as 1LZ and 3LZ cars combined.

1/2 mil a little out of budget.

You don't buy a Chevy for high quality interior. You buy it because it has performance on par with fast Porsches and Ferrari. Gotta give a little some where.

Hyundai Elantra and 1,530 $100 hookers.
Option 1

Option 2

He litteraly live on the edge of methbilly land (between PC and tally) likely would be way cheaper to buy the hooker an elantra and don't let her know where you live.

lol

He said he could add a decimal to his budget.

yea i read about the dash and glue ,it reminded me of the c5 or 6 with the roofs pealing off at speed mine never lifted but had bubbles underneath
 
Lindsay Ontario Canada. Most owners ship their GTs there for service and maintenance.
I had a towing service in NJ and one of the body shops owners had a ford GT and we never went at it but broke each others balls ......he would always tell me to get a real motor for my 06 z06 .....well until his motor caught fire then it was my turn to say i am looking to get a real HOT motor for my z . There were iirc 2 older cobras but they were always trying to kill the owners ?
 
Believe me if there was a near-by ferrari dealer ,i still chuckle at the NJ ferrari salesman ".....oh you are going to drive it......"

My buddy went into Porsche here in Dallas to order a GT2RS... had cash he was willing to pay up front, understood the wait, etc... Guy says "sir you need to start with this model and then after about 3 or 4 other cars we might be able to order you a GT2RS in 6-8 years"... at that point they only planned 1 more year of production(2019 I think). He says "Lambo Dallas has a 2018 Weissach package with 400 miles in the exact spec and color I want, guess ill just go buy it then" to which the guy scoffs at... My buddy leaves, drives over to Lambo Dallas and buys the car. Swings back by the Porsche dealer, finds the sales guy and says "look at what I just bought, dumb ass", flips him the bird, and rolls out. Dallas Lambo loves him since he had already bought a Lambo and now the Porsche. They gave him credit for 2 lambo purchases if he ever wants to order something thats hard to get he's higher up on the list.
 
This piece of shit is quite easily affordable.

im sure buying a 20 year old lambo that was driven ~1k miles a year doesnt have a single issue with it...

hard pass...

No desire to pay for the maintenance required on that car.

More important is how are Caitlin 'Cool' Clark and the Fever doing against Angel 'Thug' Reese and the Chicago Dykes Skye.

She's the most dynamic sports person in a long time and seemingly a decent human being.

OOps wrong thread.
