Yeah, you were just pokin' rob and Lever. (I used it as a catalyst to reaffirm one of a convertible's inherent attributes. )
So what have we learned....convertible lebarons, miatas, boxsters, mini-coopers, 911's and vettes are girl cars but "old skool" 67-69 camaro convertibles are definitely manly?
This is how you get taken out of a conversation quickly. “Hey I want a bad ass good handling kick ass v8” Well here let me suggest this pile of shit wannabe performance car with a fancy name. That’s almkst worse than a Miata except you gotta be a gay lawyer to have one
LeBarons absolutely. Miatas if on the street. Same for a Boxster. Never a 911 and with a Vette they're all mid life crisis.
Verts are only acceptable in classic cars and big body 4 doors. Modern 2 door convertibles means your gay, or a divorced woman. It’s in the Geneva convention. Look it up.
Just like chick cars it depends on the model of 2-door sports car. I'll give you things like the A4 Evelyne had. But a Vette not so much, same for the new Camaro, Mustang is iffy depending on the model. Also any 911 ever is cool in a convertible
No. Usually convertible are quite a bit heavier than the hard tops so that makes them not about performance. Thus=chick models
Wannabe? You guys are nuts. Boxsters are great sportscars. Look at these numbers: Zero to 60 mph: 4.3 sec Zero to 100 mph: 9.8 sec Zero to 130 mph: 16.7 sec Zero to 150 mph: 25.0 sec Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 5.3 sec Top gear, 30-50 mph: 7.8 sec Top gear, 50-70 mph: 5.7 sec Standing ¼-mile: 12.6 sec @ 113 mph Top speed (mfr's claim): 177 mph Braking, 70-0 mph: 144 ft Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 1.04 g
My dad drives a a 2004 C5 Z06. I like the C6 and newer body styling, but IMO, you don't need to go chasing HP in this car at all. I think that 04 z06 has about 440hp and you can break the rear end loose through 4th gear.
