If I had more money, I would not have bought my truck!! I wanted a Z06 soooooooooo bad! This truck was my favorite in the price range. Congrats on the new car, what color did you get?

 

dont let this guy get your goat, he's just stirring the pot...

 

M3's are ok, Not to bad. If I was going to get rid of the L for something it would have to be a Z06 or a Viper though...

 

Sorry I lied. I told SVT that I love this thing (her name is Burra). I pointed out the minute details that bugged me, but basically said it was the shiznit. I know how to spell f$#@, bu the way. My second post was supposed to be sarcastic (sp) but i figured I would play along since no one caught it. Sorry to let all down. If I did trade for an M3 it would be blue.

 

Umm... if you wanted a car, why not buy one in the first place? The L fits a niche for many of us. We want/need a truck, but are used to going fast. If you weren't looking for something like that, then why buy one? Also, please don't start with the attitude, that is very unbecoming.

EDIT: DOH! You posted while I was typing.

 

If it was not for towing are travel trailer. I would be in a Vette hands down. But I have got a little of both worlds with the L. Bob

 

My post is a little misleading. Let me clarify. If I had the cash for an M3 conv. I'd likely get a Vette coupe and start modding. Twin turbo sounds nice.

ricekicker, Where did you get those numbers? M3--- 4.7 0-60 and 13.3 in 1320. They do make mods for those puppies, too.

A girlie car? Look who's driving the next Mustang you drive by. I don't think I've ever seen a female driving an M3. I know it happens.....I've just never seen it. 'Seen plenty in the passenger seat though.

 

Damn thulsadoom, You let the cat outta the bag way too soon. I was getting a kick outta this thread.

 

I've seen female's driving M3's. I see about 3 or 4 M3's a day out here, and fewer L's. To be honest, the L get's my attention more than the M. The new M's are very boxy...

 

I would take a M3 Vert over a Lightning...

Lightning - All Canadian

 

I'll admit that I don't see very many around here. I'm on the road a lot, also. I like the coupe better than the convertible anyway.

 

Lightning=Best bang for the buck around 30K

Z06=Best bang for the buck around 50K

I did not need nor want a truck, but then again I dont consider the L a truck. Especially since i will not use the bed for ANYTHING! It does not see rain, and it does not see snow, so it may as well be like the vette I want It is sure fast enough for me!!

 

I can honestly say that I like my L as much (or more) today than when I drove it off the lot. And that's saying a lot! With the snug top and bed rug I've got one hell-of-a trunk, I can see better in traffic and I can tow a boat (fast). If I wanted something better it would have to be Bentley.

Gravity is not responsible for falling in love... Albert Einstein

 

I believe that I heard that our Lightnings are made in Canada.

 

This is a funny post but it brings out some interesting points of view.

I bought my L because it was a truck, to haul stuff (600 lb milling machine the other night), to tow with and to haul mulch, sod, dirt ect. I wanted to replace my 97 Lariat Supercab and the L fit the bill though I will admit I visited 3 or 4 Chevy stores after riding in my buds Z0-6, (if only they could handle a load of cinder blocks ). The L is also my daliy driver and will see around 20K miles this year, some quicker than others but it won't be pampered that's for sure. Overall I am happy with my choice and if the new engine rus as well as the old without all the oil smoke I will be estatic.
