135i vs. ls3 vette...

ORIGIN M. · 12-17-2009, 12:05 AM

I think he is crazy... I hope that clears it up for you!

Maybe baseless to you, but your comment is just based on your mindset.

I hate these responses. Why can't you articulate a point, instead of just spewing a random, baseless opinion?!

The 135i is a great car. Although it is a two door coupe. It is a compromise car made soft and cushy for the masses. It does have a great engine but alot of the car is marketed towards the average sports enthusiast driver who need a back seat and other nuances.
The Corvette on the other hand is and always has been since day one built as a pure sports car. So yes maybe it is a little louder inside with a big throbbing,powerful American V-8 and a little more road noise entering the cabin due to less sound insulation to keep weight down and maybe it rides a little stiffer than the 135 but you dont hear all the magazines complaining about horrible understeer in the C6. You wanna play you gotta pay. Just check the Nurburgring times. The Corvette is a serious sports car for not a whole lot of cash like cars it runs with. That said, I cant wait to get my 135i in April(ED). I will then have two cars that will put a big friggin smile on my face.

If you want a plastic car, get the Vette
If you like to go really fast (in straight lines), get the Vette
If you like gold chains, get the Vette

And yes, I'm no big fan of Vettes.

But that's just my opinion

And if you want to go fast in curves...get the Vette. It will outhandle anything in its price range. This nonsense about it "being fast in a straight line" needs to stop. A Vette is fast EVERYWHERE. And that's not just my opinion, its fact.

ORIGIN M. · 12-17-2009, 06:25 PM

No shortage of opinions around here, that's for sure!

Leilani · 12-17-2009, 08:45 PM

Here's my input from a completely different perspective:

C6: chick magnet
One: chick car (j/k! well...sort of...I think the verts are chick cars, especially the red and white ones)

JMHO and everyone else has a right to theirs...but remember, unless you're a chick, think twice before posting what a chick thinks!

amdmaxx · 12-17-2009, 08:58 PM

... and if I want light - I get Vette
... and if I want handling - I get Vette
... and if I want torque of big V8 - I get Vette..

^^ ha yeah I've gotten the "chick car" thing from people before when I tell em what I drive... but then they see all the black and graphite and they tend to disagree...

I will say of the whopping 2 135i verts I have seen in the philly area in the past year (where is everyone??) they were both girls...

SlickShift · 12-17-2009, 11:01 PM

I can't argue against a C6 vette. As long as you don't have about interior quality all that much, go for it!

Yup, that is DEFINITELY NOT a chick car!

If I was single, though...I'd rather be picked up on a date by a guy in a C6 (not white, please!) instead of a 1.

Ouch...and here I thought I actually wasnt driving a chick car...knew I shouldve gone for that Beatle vert instead.

and really...do you want the kind of girls that a car attracts?

No offense intended, Broken!

I know there are way more guys frequenting this forum than girls, so I knew I'd run the risk of offending the red and white vert owners...but it's just my opinion and if you like what you drive, you shouldn't really care what I think!

BTW, the Beetle vert is also a chick car...you should've gotten a Porsche instead!

imported_mega · 12-18-2009, 06:49 AM

boss's c6 z06 rattled like crazy, he had dynamat installed on everything from the seats back, and it helped a lot

probably added some weight, but in the rear where it needs it, and the trade off was worth it

OK, I "might" give you that for the C6.
But I won't retract my gold chain statement.

You "might" give me that? You don't have any choice. It's black and white and the numbers don't lie. The C5 was also a very good handling car, and would run with stuff WAY above its price point, as would the C4.

Its just like when you say "with all due respect". Do you actually ever say anything respectful after that?

That was a SNL wasnt it?..... " Your mother is a XXXXXX, with all due respect" would make it OK.

Plastic car, straight line, gold chains...it obvious the kid is green with envy and looks the other way when a C6 pulls along side at a red light.

(Not that I'm bad mouthing the 135, I'm buying one this spring,and cant wait

)
