I hear that Cool Carbon pads are the way to go on Vettes.
And screw the midlife crisis stigma. It's like the stigma of BMW drivers being pricks (though Top Gear says that's shifted to Audi  ). The people who know you should understand that you're a car enthusiast who bought the car because it's a fun car, same with the M3. And life's too short to consider what people who don't know you think about your car. Congrats again!! |
Thanks!
Actually only saw 2 in that color that were reasonably priced.
Regarding brakes, well my m3 was pushing a tad more than stock hp, and i'm sure stock for stock z's brakes are a little better. Plus i have aftermarket dual rotors (($1600 for all 4).
I don't care what people really think about drivers... it did deter me 4 years ago when i was looking at base c6, but now i just don't care what older gents drive it... plus here in europe that's not the case
