buy a new Chev Z-06. 500+HP, low maint costs, and awesome performance.

The car has a 7 liter motor - it should be fast. But to keep it light they
dispensed with soundproofing, and those high g numbers are the product of a
suspension that might be fun on a track, but beats you up in the real world.
The last Z06 ride would knock your fillings out, and this one isn't any
better. If all you plan to do is tow the car to a track, great. Want to take
it on a trip - no thanks.

But kudos to Chevrolet for bringing back a displacement first made popular
by Ford. The LS7 specs out at 427.7 or .8, which makes it a 428.

The important word is expected.

A few years ago Chevrolet was hammering the ad trail with the Corvette being
the #1 ranked sports car in the JD Power initial quality survey (Porsche was
#2). Then the long term (3 year) survey came out and Chevrolet fell off the
map.

My family has had Chevrolets on two occasions - they were junk and we'll
never have another.

.....but, it's a chevy - it's american.....it ain't exotic as a german
porsche
