Daily sports car?
- Thread starter CriticalCore

2005-2015 3rd gen MX5 had the option of a hardtop convertible. So, there is 10 years of used vehicles to pick through.
Down sides? The look isn’t for everyone.
Cargo room isn’t the best.
Won’t pin you back from a stop light.
However,
A set of decent winter tires and should be fine.
For a small, sporty car with a 6 spd, it’s pretty nice top down fun in the summer.

Nah. It's more fun to drive a faster car fast than a slower car slow. Extra power on tap is always good for passing or getting out of the way of some idiot. My father's philosophy is always buy a performance car because they're safer. Better brakes to slow you down faster in an emergency, more power and better handling to accelerate/maneuver out of out of a bad situation.

Meaning the slower car will always be slow no matter how fast you try to drive it.
I think it went over your head? lol

Nope. I've always hated that saying. It may have been true in the old days when fast cars were fire-breathers with poor street manners. They didn't like to idle, had huge turbo lag, heavy clutches, light switch throttles, cabin roasted you from the heat off the headers/exhaust, no A/C, etc. These days most manufacturers are building streetability into their cars because they realize that's where the owners will be 90% or more of the time. Most people could probably handle daily driving a modern ZR-1. But an L88? Doubtful.

No. Didn't mean gutless. Just slower. Like a Boxster compared to a Z06. Still stand by what I said.
Hmmm....I don't take a shred of that away from the statement. We've all got our interpretations but mine is way out of left field from yours it seems.
The Sky looks better.
Take my money now. God I love the sound of a flat plane V8 being driven hard. This brings that down to an approachable price.
That new C8 is truly Sexay. But I'd wait a couple of model years for them to get the bugs sorted out of their first production mid-engine car.
Also, I have a problem paying over MSRP for anything.

Are the Canadian dealers marking them up? US dealers aren’t.
And a lot more selling them well over MSRP:
Corvette Enthusiasts Compile List Of Dealers Selling The C8 At, And Over, MSRP | Carscoops
Some Chevy dealers are bumping up C8 Corvette prices well beyond its MSRP, going as high as 50 percent over list
www.carscoops.com
The ones selling close to MSRP are high-volume Corvette dealers. My bet is that no Canadian dealer is a "high-volume" dealer when compared to any US dealership.
Some forums are cataloging dealerships that are marking up (apparently up to +30K) and those selling at MSRP (apparently mostly high volume C7 dealers). That helps buyers avoid the wankers.
EDIT:
Hmm, same info posted above while I was typing. Now I look dumb.
No different then the Civic Type R...they can't sell over MSRP but they add their 'fees' and 'features' or 'upgrades' and BOOM car costs a few thousand more just like that. Demand is there, so to me it's a bullcrap tactic...but they can get away with it.
The guy that sold me the Odyssey bought one and said he had to pay full pop for it.
