Is the NSX time out somewhere?  I don't recall that.

The latest Head 2 Head on MTOD is the GT-R vs NSX

[MrH]

Not quite sure.  This info is coming from the 2016 Best Driver's Car by MT and they just gave that info out in the Ignition episode of the M4 GTS.

And they said "about as fast" as a 1LE so I guess that means a couple tenths probably in either direction.  (The M4 ran a 1:37.66)


Hey Mike....

It does look good...

saw someone driving with their arm on the windowsill of a red Camaro. 

It was literally above their shoulder.

On select dealer stock left-over 2016s, which means most, if not all, of those cars are going to be automatic equipped LT models (V6 and 4-bangers).  And these heavy discounts pull those cars down to the price point they should have been at in the first place.

I've found that uncomfortable in new cars since like 2008  Luckily I have an old car

There's a black/black '16 2SS with manual for $33k close to my house.  Doesn't have magnaride, but that's about the only option missing.  Hyper Blue is better than black too.

DDing that thing would not be fun if you have traffic.  I'm super tempted to get a V6 or V8 Camaro when I get back, but when there's traffic it'll just feel like a cool looking coupe. 

I loved having the Mustang, but so much was lost in depreciation and most of the time I couldn't enjoy it like the Miata.

Now on the other hand... buying a used one (mustang) for cheap and doing track days with it...

(because who wants to wad up a brand new SS on the track?)

[MrH]

Just blows my mind you can get M4 level performance for $33k new.

I don't think there's a vehicle new or used that can keep up for $33k.  Crazy value.  But you're right.  Commuting with 455 hp isn't particularly fun.  ND miata would be more fun, substantially cheaper to buy, maintain, and insure too.

[12,000 RPM]

Only way I could do a 450+ HP car is if I had the money and time to chew through Brembos and PSS at track days on a regular basis................

And even then I'd need to keep it weird.... old fox body with the Cobra IRS, a cage + reinforcements and a Coyote swap sounds sweeter

sounds sweet AND unreliable. You guys are talking like current 450hp cars are unstreetable beast! I'm willing to bet an SS is no less streetable (drivetrain wise) than a V6 Camry.

[MrH]

An engine swapped, highly modified, 16 year old car with a cage does not sound sweeter at all.  It would perform substantially worse and would be a nightmare to build.

the one I posted (white with white interior and sunroof)is not showing up. It had Mag Ride and Dual Mode exhaust for 34k. With my GM discount it be right around 30! 

[MrH]

You can add on a GM Discount too?  How do you have yours?

I have enough connections I could probably get one too...

I'm seeing that white one for $38k, and it's got an auto

damn. I didn't notice the Auto. I cudda sworn it was 34. My uncle is a retired GM EXEC! He tells them I'm his son and I get employee pricing.

[MrH]

Damn. Can I be his son too?

I know ya'll are loving the SS, but the new V6 1LE strikes me as the sweet spot in the line.  When im car shopping in the next 1.5 years, it'll be on my list.

Yeah, my main problem with that much HP would be trying to keep my foot out of it, not the fact that it's unstreetable.

In the same vein I'm considering an R1 as my next bike.

[CaminoRacer]

I can get GM discounts but I'm not sure how good it is on Camaros and Corvettes.

[CaminoRacer]

I have 400 HP and it's a ton of fun no matter what traffic is like

And a Fox body with a Coyote can absolutely run faster than a new one FWIW. Just depends on how much money you wanna spend.

The V6 1LE isn't available for 20+% off right now though.

And the more you option one up, the more of a discount you get   I found a totally stripped V6, manual Camaro for $19k.  But for another $13k, you get every option and a V8.  Seems like a better deal to me.

[CALL_911]

All of you are pussies. 455 hp would be dope. $33k Camaro SS all the way.

[MrH]

It's faster than an F430.  It's nutty performance per dollar.

LOL!

You probably can't enjoy the power, since it weighs as much as an SUV and has the sightlines of an M1 Abrams, but it's not unstreetable.  Driving that thing at 100mph on a highway probably feels like sitting on a sofa in your living room, but you can only see a small part of the TV.  On the plus side, you'll probably die when the ignition switch fails or the car locks you in the cabin on a hot day.

A $15K ZX10R will mop the floor with everything south of a LaFerrari.... there's more to driving enjoyment than performance/$$$$, especially on the skreet

I would enjoy an SS a lot more than an F430 on the street.

Every time I'd park the Ferrari I'd be terrified of some numbnut dinging the door.
