    I can only see the last pic but it's a Ls2/3 or 7 (intake and drive by wire give it away) and an ATI Procharger.

    dude, the corvette has had electronic throttle since 1997. The intake on the LS2, LS3, and LS7 all look about the same. Its definitely not an LS7...the oil dipstick is a dead giveaway. On the LS7 the dipstick is on the oil tank. My guess is its an LS2. They didnt come with the LS3 until 08 when they also changed the wheels. those are 05-07 wheels

    I do agree as a collectible car, it is sweet.

    And true it would hold it's value pretty nicely.

    Why not get a lightly used Viper? Those can be had for $50K and you will have a car that stops traffic!

    actually, you can get them cheaper than that...

    As was said though, the insurance is RIDICULOUS. Honestly, even corvette insurance is ridiculous. I know a guy(in his 50s) who traded in is 05vette for an 07sti and he insurance went from 2100/yr to 900/yr. I can only imagine what the insurance on the viper would have been.

    If I was going to spend 60,000 on a muscle truck like that I don't think I would be worrying about the fuel economy and how much the thing is going to tow, that's not the reason you buy those trucks. Give me the SRT-10 and I'll be having some major fun.

    its AMAZING how much those trucks have devalued. Its pretty easy to find several low mileage examples under $25K on eBay

    Easy on the ML320 McLovin! I love that truck. I've only had mine for a couple months now, so I dont have any problems to report yet, but I will concede that it has gotten quite the rep for being an unreliable dog.

    If you mean it's atrocious in reliability, cant argue that. But considering it's purpose, it's an awesome truck/suv.

    only reason I mentioned it is because it won "Truck of the Year". Its not a "truck." The next year(1999) they started "SUV of the Year". They should've started it one year earlier and given it to the Mercedes...

    SVT is the ford mustang right you are. F150's are cool, but the Dodge Ram won Motortrend truck of the year....

    Motortrend "___ of the Year" is a joke. Especially for trucks. They just give it to whoever puts out their new model that year. Just look at the past 4 years, all new redesigns. 10 Ram, 09 F-150, 08 Tundra, 07 Silverado. Then you have the whole Ridgeline debacle and the atrocious ML320(the year before they started SUV of the year). That award doesnt mean antything. Seeing as the 2011 Super Duty is the only "new" thing this coming year, it will probably win.

    Being a Chevy man I was still largely unimpressed with the SS.

    I mean Ford had the Lightning; Dodge the SRT10; Chevy the SS. :34853_doh:

    Yeah, the SS was a joke. Really it was just a Denali in chevy clothing. 6.0, AWD, 20" rims. Nothing special. I worked on one with a vortech S/C on it and it still didnt do much for me.

    I'm little confused when I see a dodge commercial. At then end of the commercial it's states that GMAC is financing Jeep, dodge and Chrysler I'm a little confused about that.

    GMAC will finance anything. Heck, my sister-in-law bought a Nissan and she has Subaru financing. Its all about whoever offers the best deal...

    That is why we got rid of our Silverado and got a GMC--we haul boats and my sons Boy Scout troop out of ditches and the Silverado.

    :34853_doh: The Chevy and GMC are the same mechanically. Just SLIGHTLY different on the exterior/interior.

    ugh, brings back memories of being able to spend money on a car. The last car I paid for a was a Mazdaspeed Protege back in 03. It was sweet, not much done to it but I loved it. Sold it to carmax in 05 when I got married and have been using "donated family cars" ever since. Current;y a rusted out, dented up 2000 Neon :th_shame:
