I mean, seriously... a Corvette or a Viper compared to that history and wild, crazy genius behind a 'Lambo' made in Emilia Romagna wild country once, where a security guard that had the honor to witness the car said: "Countach!" which is btw a dialect of "the bassa" ('Bassa' is the lovely term for neighbour Lombardy people of Emilia Romagna) word for "awesome" to a... Corvette?

Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Hell, this car was made in the "stone age" almost, still today rocks

I tell you here in Italy the few morons that would prefer a Corvette (I know an official U.S car authorized importer near my city, one of Italy biggest) or a Viper or what else and not a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Read my lips: those who can't afford to buy one

@Chris LXXIX I better keep up with the lollipop ratings as sweet @cold blood mentioned was my doing

Haha that was a fun story, gotta look out for that vodka friend.
Last time i got drunk on pure vodka i passed out and did not remember anything from the rest of that party The next day i woke up with puke all over gross and i had a huge hangover. Go figure
Never touched pure vodka since. Only mixed drinks

Haha, yes, in retrospect it´s funny, and believe me, I´m more careful with vodka now . But you know, what saved my sanity is the fact that Russia puts drunken people together in cells. We were 7 drunks in total there, sharing a large cell with 10 beds. In Norway (and probably Denmark as well), you will wake up all by yourself in a cell. Waking up all alone, in a foreign country, with no memory and with hours to go before a police officer takes you out, would have made my mind go mad! Russia is more humane in that manner, IME.

My man those are the results of dreams. Dreams made by the Boot people mans of once with a vision, like Enzo Ferrari, the "Drake". While indeed they are a status symbol, they are perfect, pure class. Speed doersn't matter, matter that amazing grace and class at 360° :-s

Fair enough, I guess we are looking at this from two different directions. While I can appreciate the elegance that Ferrari and Lamborghini brought to the auto world I still love the innovation in speed and performance by engineers in the muscle car era. A lot of innovations in most modern cars came from these improvements.

Here again, we are talking about two different things. You mentioned a Corvette which is not a muscle car. It's a production car built with the intent to part a rich man from his money.

If I had a dollar for every doctor that lives in Pinehurst with a Porsche who had never took it over the speed limit I'm make out pretty good. One, there is a lot of doctors. Two, it is a status thing. They could not care less how it was made or how fast it can go. They just know all their collages have one and they want to fit in too. It's like the Rolex watch of cars. They get it not to tell time, but to show they can afford one.

Which to me is a waste.

Once when I was a teen I covered with pure finest poop the entire Aziza Hotel of Hammamet, Tunisia... waaay back then when dictator Ben Ali was in charge. I ate mussels, and strawberry with cream at noon. My Bro advised me that was a bit risky, but I decided to say F-Word to 'Montezuma curse' and, he was right, after not even 30 minutes I was forced to escape, from the beach, into Hotel, where an helluva of Germans were using all the elevators for coming down for eat. So I took the stairs leaving a trail and "hands of poop" everywhere, and my Bro followed, laughing like a crazy, that smelly road, basically I leaved modern poop "rock paintings"

After two days when I recovered, since my Bro mocked me hard, I decided to gave him back the favour, and with a kick in the butt after the shower, I closed him completely naked out of the room when a family of Germans with their little daughters were in, muahahahahahahah

No one punished us, thankfully, otherwise still today I probably would caring Dromedaries and not T's in North Africa lol

Oh I know, I was talking in general my man, I know Corvette isn't a muscle car. Muscle cars were in their way cool, and true US, I like those weird (at least for me) design style, but since I've heard that Corvette is the "American Ferrari" man, those are on different planets let me tell you

Innovations from old muscle cars...what? Back in the day maybe. Innovations come from the highest end and slowly trickle down to the cars the masses can afford.

Corvette is indeed a muscle car, as is a viper.

One of my biggest pet peeves with cars is people that buy fast cars, and drive them like they are a broken old Buick...status, haha, you can get a boxter for like 5 grand...lol....I'd rather have an S2000 all day long anyway.

This is true my man, because, while I can agree with Trenor about Corvette not being a muscle car (the recent models IMO aren't) the models of the past were 100% muscle cars. My cousin received as prize for his California school/college/what was I dunno, from my Uncle/Aunt a Corvette Stingray (the model of the '70) and that look IMO was a muscle car one.

The Corvette is the fastest car for the money generally speaking. People who buy Corvettes are not morons. I'd buy both Corvette and Ferrari.

While the Italians have excellent cars, ie Ferrari and Lamborghini, the Ford GT40 is one of the best cars in 24 hr Le Mans history.

The USA has never been a luxury sports car manufacturer unlike Italy, but it is one of the best home-grown hot rod countries you'll ever find.

Don't forget Maserati man the new Maserati is IMO the best but is so underestimated, pure class A cars. I prefer Maserati to a 'Lambo' :-s

You're definitely right about hot rod btw.

This one? Cool

But no way like her my man

I love Maserati :-s

Your Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Corvettes, BMW´s, Maseratis or Ford "explosives" shall all be rendered useless! In the end, they can´t even drive on a Norwegian road during winter!?!?! In addition, they shall all be "destroyed" by some kids with some keys walking by in the coming years. If you want a car to rely on, get a Lada 4x4, a cheap old Fiat, an old Yugo, an old Skoda or some other reliable vehicle who works like a tank, but doesn´t look pretty! That´s the opinion and advice of someone not caring about cars, but who cares a lot about politics and current events!

Not Maserati my friend, not Maserati

I have a weak point for that beauty IMO Maserati are like those Ladies in their 40 more hot, sexy and class than certain in their 20 I tell you.

A kid screwing that line with keys???? A centipede in the butt isn't enough for punishment :-s

Meh I guess... To me though Chevy's muscle cars were the Camaro and the Chevelle SS. The Corvette is a sports car. The distinction (to me) is in the modding one does after buying a stock car. Which you don't see with a Viper or a Corvette.
