Bobbeh Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The new Z06 is in a totally different league to any vette thats gone before But yeah, you're right Supras are more 'exclusive' over there, they hold their value better and are more sought after than those here.

Soop Dogg Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 my aunt had a vette it was a 95 plate not sure what model but i wasnt that impressed i prefer jap That's a C4 - basically this is a re-vamped 1982 car. Nothing like newer models. The C6 Z06 lapped the Top Gear test track faster than the Zonda and Lambo Murcielago. But you won't get a C6 Z06 too cheaply!

toyotasuprauk Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 By the time you move the C5 Z06 would be an ok price for a nice car. I'd never buy a supra if I moved to the US, I’m too used to the English prices. How come you’re managing to move there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Soop Dogg just noticed you have an 04 C5 listed in your sig!Sounds amazing got any pics/comments on it? Actually I don't have alot of pics of it yet as the weather has been crap for most of the time I've had it! (Bought it at the start of December) Oh - and I love it! Different animal from the Supe, feels a bit more refined, but just as much fun and the sound is awesome! Looking forward to summer when I can get the top folded away. (Still love the Supe though - this is just different) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 That looks lovely! Did you import it yourself? I usually see a few in Florida and love the sound. Dont see many over here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Soop, How do you get on with being sat on the wrong side of the car? I bet overtaking is fun! Always fancied a US car but the LHD puts me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You could always pick up a Shelby Mustang fairly cheap over there too, 500bhp. It doesnt handle too well but would be fine for you on American roads and it shouldnt cost you more than £25k from new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 that yellow one would be a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - it doesn't take long to get the hang of it. I've also had a few American cars in the past so I knew what it was like anyway. To be honest, in the last few years we've been doing more miles on the continent than in the UK so I thought this would make it even more of a good idea. (That was my excuse!) Overtakes aren't that much of a problem. A lot of my time is spent poodling around town or on a dual carriageway. When I'm on single lane A-roads, Angie is usually with me to help out with the overtakes, but even when she isn't I just sit back a bit further from the car in front to get a better view. It's a very minor inconvenience really. Like the Supra, overtakes happen pretty fast so you don't need much distance to complete them!

Gamer Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Whatever you decide to get you need to keep one thing in mind since you are going to be living in California. You cannot modify your car at all and I mean NOT at all. Not even an aftermarket exhaust, unless it has been approved by the state. Best to keep that in mind when selecting what you intend to drive if you are thinking about modifying the car from stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
