I would have gone red. 😛 Seriously, looks much better.

@iman29 they are fat heavy like most Americans too!

Fake news! The GS is the same or lighter than an E46 M3.

@GSTim oh don't get all touchy. I was just comparing it to my drive really. I was going to say Carson's but damn that car is heavier than I thought. Funny I always go type M3tim

 

[GSTim]

No worries, I just ran across that post and figured I had to tweak you. ?

P.S. What does the Tesla weigh?

 

[THATmanMANNY]

GT3 RS is 3000 lbs. Wonder what the cayman GT4 RS will weigh?

I pulled the fuse in the Camaro. Took like 10 minutes. Probably more complicated in the Vette though.

I did feel slightly bad driving through Milford and Port Jervis at 7am with straight pipes though. NOT!!

You can add a switch easily. Get one of these "add a fuse" wires. Stick it where the fuse was in the box, run the wires to a toggle switch. If need be you could extend the wires to a driver accessible spot on the dash.

I decided to go high tech and ordered the remote for $79.

They got a C8 in stock at the Aston dealership down the street. Looks a lot better in person than in pics.

$100,000 Sticker. Is that what they go for, or is that Summit pricing?

$100K would have to be almost every option on the C8. My guess would be price gouging. I'll have to check this out when I stop by.

Looks like a missile and fast standing still. Back window has more of a Ferrari length and angle. Sharp lookin ride for $100k.

Is that place the old smyth volvo location?

 

[Steve Vai]

IDK. It's been an Aston dealer since I've worked in Summit.

It's a 2LT with ~2K miles, not even sure if it's a Z51. I suspect a large dealer markup.

Some Summit dad will buy it for his kid without even looking at the sticker.
