First let me say that the RX8 is an amazing car...and I loved each and every moment I had in it. It's engine was amazing...and so was the looks and handling.

Although I loved my RX8...I decided it was time for a change...I went through a pretty bad breakup recently...and decided to start doing some things for me instead of her...like I had been....so behold my new car!

It's a new 2007 VY MN6 Coupe 1LT...Solid color top...competition grey rims...I haven't been too agressive so far...it only has 185 miles on it so far...going pretty easy on it till 500 miles.

I went cruising today to Erie, PA...and ended up catching of with a C5 Z06...below are some pics of my car with the Z06 and also of my buddies 2006 Civic Si

It's amazing at just 2.5krpms that there is so much torque!

So far all I did to it was debadge the GM badges from it...next weekend i'm putting this on:
http://vararam.com/sc1.html

I know I know...everyone will blast the 'up to 40hp gain'...but vararam is very well known in the vette community...and MANY many people/magazines/companies back up their claims of 3.5 tenths quicker 1/4 mile...3+ mph faster in the 1/4 mile...and 10mph faster top speed.

I never will...i'll always wave at rotary's I see! One of my requirements was to get a car that handled as good or better than the rx8.

Nice Vette:)

That's the 2nd Vette pic I have seen on the forums this evening, and I gotta say, not liking the colored headlight inserts!

Everything else just screeeems Corvette though!

Cheers and congrats on a very nice upgrade!
