    They do make some great cars these days. But you can get a zo6 well above 70k... in any case it is a very different driving experience and car overall. Numbers aren't everything, they really arent. Between the vette and a porsche 911 Carrera s, I would take the p car. .. on paper it is slower, slower lap times etc. BUT the experience of driving the two cars is very different.

    Suspension: Bilstein Sports, GC Coilover conversion, IE Subframe Bushings, IE RTABs, M roadster sways, M roadster front control arms, M roadster Front calipers/hubs.
    Engine/Driveline: M54B30 intake Manifold, Dinan CAI, ZHP Cams, Headers, Underdrive pulleys, Conforti Software, 3.46 diff.

    Well then you either need an old DAF with a CVT that will go the same speed in reverse as forward. Or a Nissan leaf which is also capable of the same thing.
    Current fleet:
    1999 BMW e36 M3
    1999 BMW e36 328is with rotary valve engine head
    1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
    1990 Jeep Comanche Eliminator
    1962 Austin Healey Sprite
