I'll take the motor if this guy doesn't want it hehe not that he deserves it anyway :)
I like at all cars, but I'll defend the cars that deserve more respect than they get.
Daily drive but I just don't wanna have to replace anything if something when wrong or fail. Just too expensive.
Highly capable cars. While still being under the price for an M3. I realize they are meant for different people and obviously the M3 has a nicer interior. I'm speaking in terms of performance. I'd love to have an M5 and have looked at used ones for a
I'm not saying that M3s suck. I realize how badass they are. They are amazing, I'm just saying give credit where it's due. Mustangs and Camaros aren't what they used to be. At least not the high trims like the Boss, 1LE, ZL1, and GT500. They are
They make some nice cars, I'll admit. Personally, Lincoln's are nicer interior, but my next door neighbor seems to like their 7 series more than their Jaguar so they must be doing good.
You are paying the extra money for the extra refinement that no mustang will give you! Many reviewers call the M3 the best all round car on earth!
@Patrick Yes we know the stang is quicker round a track, but that's not the point! The M3 is a much better everyday car and a lot more refined, while it still manages to be a great drivers car! As I said, there is a reason why every reviewer on earth
I admit M3s are nice, but come on, they aren't that great, I'd much rather have a Stang.
Just checked lap times for four different tracks in the US and the Boss 302 LS and GT500 dominate the M3. Sorry Jack. You're wrong again.
The boss 302 is a very good car and yes it will be quicker round a track, but on the road, the M3 is the master!
@Shelby I agree that some BMWs are majorly overrated, but the M3 is not! There is a reason why every car reviewer on earth loves the M3! It is a much better car overall than any mustang!
@shelby the kid already admitted he can't even drive yet on the picture of the corvettes interior. Stop wasting your time
155 is pretty much the universal restriction. They can go faster, but are limited. And the M3 already costs over 30k more than a Mustang GT (which is also faster). Aftermarket parts are not something that 90% of M3's will see.
P.S. I hope you can never afford anything to drive but a 10 year old Kia because you clearly don't know a whole lot about anything related to the automotive industry.
I've driven several different generation M3's before. Most of the people in my neighborhood won't even look at one because it is a piece of shit compared to several other things in the price range. Get over your bias. BMW's are not that great.
Also, as far as handling look up how many G's each of them pull on a skid pad. Guess what the winner is. Just take a guess; I dare you.
I don't have to dream. I know for a fact that it is faster. Better interior? No chance, but unlike most of the douche bags that buy a BMW, I can actually vouch that the Ford is better in every aspect save the interior.
I've driven a 335i, 328i, 535i, 6, and 7 series. BMWs are great, but they aren't the pinnacle of engineering like some people think. A C5Z will dominate any 328 or 335. I've actually DRIVEN these cars.
@Jack. Retard. Get a drivers license an come back acting like you know anything. I have a 2012 Boss 302 that would absolutely destroy an M3 in EVERY aspect of performance.
@jack the biggest problem with your argument is that the a 3 series that cost the same as a mustang gt is a bad model 328i with no options. It will get slaughtered around a track by the mustang.
Jack, please explain to me how a ZR1 doesn't have as world class handling when they use the same suspension an the ZR1 still has better times around tracks. And a Boss Mustang will EASILY put handle a 3 series. It's not my fault you don't know shit
How is it damnaged is the radiator amd drive shaft shot and how bout the transmission?
Common guys it's just another Chevrolet, there will be another hundred thousand of them. And many other crashes.
Nvm I thought I was Jim Mero driving it but I guess he wasn't at the time of the crash. BTW. There are only so many high performance oriented American. And by the looks each one is pretty much top of it's class.
exactly that. I don't know I just wish they would have called the new one something different.
@Carlos. That must've been an amazing experience! However I don't like the name GT350. It's clearly better than the GT500 but it shouldn't be since the name GT350 implies not as good as the GT500. And back in the original muscle car era it was
@Jake Dula The Focus and Fiesta are cars mostly (and wholly for the Fiesta) designed by Ford's European counterpart, so your argument is invalid. The Mustang and Camaro don't handle that well and you know it. American fanboy. And the Dart is an Alfa.
for a mustang even if its signed by Shelby himself and there are only 140 in the world.
@ jake, I agree with most of what you said, but I drove a 2013 mustang. And it was like driving a boat. It was not only unsatisfying but also gave me a real sense of insecurity. However, I also drove a 2010 GT350, and that was amazing. $125k is a lot
Jack, once again you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Just stop now.
This "American cars don't handle" nonsense is a lot of annoying, ignorant rubbish. Not only do top of the line US cars handle well, everyday US cars do too: Fiesta and Focus, for example, have better handling than most of their non-US rivals; Mustang and Camaro both handle very well by all accounts; and the new Dart is also a very capable corner...er.
Hahahahahahaha this made my day. Colby's probably staging a funeral and burning effigies of the genius that crashed it
I see a Michigan manufacturer's plate. This is most definitely a test car, so at least it didn't meet it's end in a crash test facility.
Or if this Corvette was a test mule without a VIN, it probably would have been crushed anyways.
And FYI guys, if a driver takes the traction off on a Corvette with 450+hp around curvy roads, it's not hard to get sideways quickly if you give too much throttle when you shouldn't. He was probably testing the car's limits, and simply lost it.
@Jt Hahahaha LOL. Wow man, you are so funny. You should do stand up comedy. And this damage is nothing that can't be fixed. My dad built a Mercedes that was twice as bad. He's been driving it for 8 years now. This Vette will be back on the road.
I have to agree with Matt and Patrick. Some American cars still don't have great handling in terms of lap times (e.g. Mustang) but its hard to argue with the OLD Corvette laying down lap times faster than an Enzo. (Not saying its "better" than Enzo
Patrick is right. The top of the line American cars, like the CTS-V, ZR1, or Viper, are all world class
Matt, no one said ALL American cars have world class handling. But the ones that are built for it absolutely do. Track times prove that. Anyone who says otherwise is a dumbass.
I know exactly where this is. One of my favorite driving roads ever is my backyard. 100+ corners in 12 miles.
Damn, what did they put in those drinks back there. I could have sworn I only ordered 5.
It's a stretch to say all American cars have world class handling these days, bec they don't. But anyone who thinks the current vettes are for straight lining and straight lining only, have problems.
It's the same corvette from the video where three of them appear on the street a few articles ago (Michigan license plate)
So when that SLS AMG Black crashed awhile back, no one said anything but when a Vette crashes, it can't turn? Hypocritical guys.
Inexperienced driver + any fast car= Crash. People crash European, Japanese and American cars on straight roads. Grow up. Stop stereotyping.
Does the car still work, they can repair it right doesn't look that bad... Pic makes me sad :-(
Manufacturer plates, not a production car. Last I remember a head engineer was driving the blue one. Also one argument, as someone else stated. If American card can't do corners then why are the likes of Ferrari and Jag/Landrover purchasing Chevy's
@Carlos and Chris. You two are stuck in the 1970s apparently. American cars have world class handling nowadays. Quit watching Top Gear re runs and get your facts straight
Everybody knows that regardless of the country cars can turn don't be so cliche as to say the car just didnt turn and crash
Idiots + opinions = stupid, stuck in old times, opinionated, people who are really biased toward a certain car
OPERATOR ERROR. this has nothing to do with being an American car. Just a bad driver, or something could've happened like the driver swerving to miss an object. Without having the whole story you can't really judge!
It's the same one that was spotted on the road in the group of three it looks like.
Yeah recently american cars have been introduced to corners examples include the cts-v corvette and viper they actually beat a lot of cars in there class.
It's not true that cars like the corvette are only good for going in a straight line! The 2012 corvette zr1 set a 7:21 on the nurburgring. That car is both really fast and really quick around a track.
That's because these cars are only good for one thing: Go fast in a straight line, period. For twisty roads I recommend European coupes, not this POC !!!
Description: The Corvette "hit guardrail on left and bounced back to rocks...it's in worse shape than it looks." No word on the identity of the driver, but it's a reasonable guess to believe it...

It was likely a corporate employee. That's a Michigan M plate on the back.
Thank you for distinguishing between GM employees and GM dealership employees. It's annoying when people act like they work for a car company when all they do is change tires at a random dealership. A little different
There is nothing special at all in this car. If I had to buy one the only reason would be is the stick !!
The back looks too chunky or something. It kinda reminds me of the back that you would usually find on a big sedan
My fab colour for the stingray, the others make it look too outlandish for my liking
I agree with Jack. Supercars are bought with passion in mind, not BHP per $. Vipers and Vettes might be cheaper than any supercar Europe can build but there are good reasons for this....
I think the corvette is better looking than the viper but the viper is still a beautiful car
I would also take the vette as a dd since its the more livable car, but for weekends give me a Viper and saying the vette is way better looking is stretching it
Colby is a Vette fanboy, and as such his opinion is meaningless: too biased to even be looked at seriously. That said, I also prefer the Vette to the Viper, but only for the fact that the Vette is a WAY better drivers car. The best use for a Viper is as a laxative with wheels and an engine, not as a drivers car.
Completely disagree! The Viper has sharper lines than this does, and looks meaner at the same time! But looks is in the eye of the beholder!
Red paint and calipers and black wheels, looks better and better every time I see it
Riding in a car and driving a car are two very different things. I've ridden in an airplane but that doesn't mean I have any idea about wether or not it's nice to fly the thing
@jack you can't even fuckig drive and you started that huge argument?! You should off yourseld
@Stephen The school bus you rode in middle school was just as small that Corvette!
Who knows? It could be a coincidence that both cars look alike, not that they really copied eachother
@Kevin This car was already nearly finalized when the Viper was unveiled to the world you nimrod...
Everyday American cars always come as automatic, but I feel like its more American to have a Manuel in sports cars.
Corvettes always had a manual though. Most Americans prefer autos for some reason. I'm a firm believer that all sports cars should be manual...
I hate how american cars known for only coming in auto are coming in manual and euro cars are now autos annoying why do we have to change to auto
what road? where is this?
Whoever has done this shall be shot! Shoot him at once I say!
Not yet. They start selling late summer I think.
They are for sale?
Yup, saw this on a flatbed when I was on my way home from work. Wish I was able to snap a pic. All sorts of test mules drive through here. First time I've seen a wrecked one.
Maybe Mr. Bean will crash the next one
Its been a Month since its been unvield... Heres #1 for ya
Rats wrong thread. Sorry guys.
I like how when a Corvette crashes,"oh it can't turn", but when that SLS Black crashed and burned, no one said anything. Hypocrites man.
Correction, working it GM doesn't make you a test driver.
They aren't. Last I remember one of the head engineers was driving the blue one and his colleges were driving the black and (another color I forgot what it was) ones.
Money never buys common sense.
I didn't even think these were for sale yet
It was a matter of time.
There can't be that many on the road yet.
this kinda makes me sick to my stomach
Haha yes! I was wondering if this was gonna be on here today.
Already?
