Trump shirt, jean shorts, and white New Balance shoes would be my guess
Ratchet shifters are trendy in street cars these days
those V8s were fun too. if the seller has maintenance records it might be worth checking out.
He is my hero actually
This is literally perfect in so many ways.
You, nor I can afford it though
It’s cool but i feel it would get boring without being able to hear/feel the exhilaration of the engine. IDK.
That's kinda how I felt until I drove the Taycan Turbo S. Of course it was $158k USED, but you know. The 0-60 is legit. The lack of sound is weird, but the titanium exhaust I had on the Vette was quiet compared to the stereo.
I have a friend with a Model S Plaid (also has a 1300hp GT-R) and another who has the Model X Performance (sold his GT-R to buy it). Both swear by the performance and I take their word.
That's pretty weird, would that be legal?Spotted this dude today. Right hand drive Ineos Granadier, with Australia New South Wales plates.
Long way from home eh?
That's the colour my brother in law has, it hopefully has different NSW plates.
Well judging by the lady on her phone in the passenger seat, it didn't look stolen. So your bro should be good.
Not sure about legal, I assume here in North America, as long as you have insurance you're probably good*.
*unless you drive in California, where you might get cancer.

C8 Chevy Corvette Owners Love Fake Velocity Stack Engine Covers, Apparently
Chevrolet Corvette owners have never been known for being the most tasteful bunch, but this is new territory even for them.

This aligns well with my assessment the last few Corvettes look like a classy European sports car that they gave the final design review to a 13 year old with an unlimited gift card to the JC Whitney catalog.@Westy can appreciate this

Plot twist, how about a GTO with Monaro conversion? Not a fan of the GTO, but I like the Monaro and the GTO specs are good.
Otherwise you'd pick it up?
I'd be married to Bella Hadid if her wrists weren't so scrawny.
Could you imagine that V10 and sequential transmission in Frita? 9k redline.
High revving engines are perfect for large heavy vehicles. Why motorcycles use diesel engines and semis use over-square engines.
Frita is 1000lbs lighter than a Silverado EV, so she has that going for her.
That is a serious redneck mobile.
That's the UTE. The GTO is a Redneck Ferrari, though.
GTO is the older chassis with the 5.7. It's not horrible, but the G8/SS/Commodore is the full meal deal IMO, with 4 doors. Also with a plethora of mod options.
Red, tan and white interiors are for people that don't drive cars and live pampered lives IMO. You never know when you got a little shit on your ass and you need black interiors to suck that up.
The LFA is an interesting one though. It gets hit on for the transmission, being auto but not DCT. Lexus poured a ton of money into it...but my car does everything that car does...and better.

Mine's an analog monster. I am killing it this season in Autocross with my 19" wheels and Azenis RT660 tires. It took me a couple races to figure out the PSI split and heat-cycle em, but holy f*ck, I won two races last weekend in open class and in expert I would have taken 4th. Friend in a Cayman S (excellent autoX car BTW) was saying "every time I thought I had it, then you did your lap and found found extra time somehow". To be killing it this well in a Camaro blows everyone's minds...but the chassis is just that good.
Yeah, but still. The Vette is like $5k cheaper and lower in miles while being 10 years older on average. The only reason I was considering the GTO is it can be had for less than $18k vs $20k+ on the Vette.
But if I then spend $3k on body mods just to make the GTO livable, the Vette is still the way to go.
