Some NEW cars you guys would be interested in...

All this political talk in here is great, and as election day looms closer I'm sure the volume of political threads will pick up, but how about we just talk cars. I'll start off by posting some info on two new cars I'm especially excited about.

2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

500hp, 427 cubic-inch V8, pushrod 3-valve per cylinder, hand-built. Differences between the new Z06 and the standard C6 are more extensive than the previous models; different front fascia, fender flares, wheels/tires, interior bits, of course that lovely motor, suspension and I believe some structural reinforcements. Should weigh near what the previous model did, only with 100+hp more

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII RS

280hp turbocharged I4 like the other Lancers, except this one goes on a 180lbs. diet losing power windows, power door locks, power side-mirrors, that ugly rear wing, 5-speed only, no Xenon headlamps, no A/C, no rear wiper, no am/fm/cd player, no vanity mirrors, no trunk carpet, no rear "oh-****" handles, no map lights, no ABS and finally, no leather on the hand-brake boot. The car gets a front helical-type limited slip diff.
