I know what you're sayin..but...my other boss drives one...before i worked for him, he just park his car in front of our office...when i started working here - he saw me always parking at the farthest part of the lot where nobody parks.....

guess what? he's now parked in that area....he got his plates personalized when i personalized my plates to TTEASER.......his is "DBL NAWT"

the vette's really got the power - maybe more than what i would wish for...but...when i test drove my boss' car....every part of that car seems to be loose (im talking about the body parts, especially the doors)....when you close the doors - kinda feel like its gonna take apart.....otherwise, very very good suspension and you really feel the rush of the V8.

Its all the fibre glass shell. It sooo light! I guess you'll have to take the good with the bad. The bottom of the car is actually "balsa" sandwiched by pressure formed fibre glass. Light weight but strong as hell. I think Chevy is truly aiming for the hp/weight ratio without upgrading the engine to a V10. Cheaper for the R/D.

Im totally diggin the fiberglass body..no rust to worry plus it resists minor dents which is a big plus....

The aluminum body of the TT made the car expensive to build, makes the car lighter....but its softer and prone to dents......thanks goodness, i never had any dent coz im really cautious to where i park.

BTW, of all the cars i sat into (from the last car show - Washington Auto Show)......the 2005 MR2 "felt" the best.....i mean....it was the first time i sat in.....and felt like i was like sitting in a cocoon......very secure, very comfy for a sports car and feel really good from the inside.....

when that car comes out 911 carrera owners will be pissed...they were already upset at the lack of differentiation between an $80k carrera and a $45k boxster. h
