So you don't think a care that does a quarter mile somewhere around 11 and a half seconds, possibly south, while costing 1/3 of its competitors isn't great?

Thats pretty good ,but I consider myself an avg guy but 43 G is far out of my range.

yes i agree that 43k is probably not the average car, I was however calling Fraser, on how a vette Z06 which retails for like 65k and can run down cars 10 times its price, is average, and "not great' as he said it.

A pretty fast 1/4 mile time does not a great car make.

and also the fact that they are without any power adders. Anyone could stick a supercharger on a vette, and get 100+ more hp, a la the zr1 vette.

the zr1 retails a little over 100k if I'm correct and could smoke any car 5 times as much as it.

That's the beauty in my vette, it smokes the 1/4 AND corners like a car 5x the $$.

I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

Ok yoda, so what makes a car great for you?

For me the perfect car is a zero compromises blend of luxury, speed, handling and something that looks the part either in the supermarket or outside a casino in Monaco. IMO there are only a few cars that I feel are close to this, a handful off the top of my head (each slightly skewed to different elements of the above); Mercedes CL65 AMG, Ferrari 599, Aston Martin DBS & Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series. A great car doesn't need to knock all of the above out of the park but must excel in most of the areas.

Frankly I couldn't be less impressed by 1/4 mile times. With time and money I think you could get a Kia Rio to do an 11 second quarter, it proves nothing other than it is a one trick, fast-in-a-straight-line, pony. I'm far more impressed by quick times for road cars around the Nurburgring Sudschleife, something that the latest Corvettes (since a few of you mention them) do very well on. That's just my opinion. It isn't wrong, it isn't right, it's just how I value what a great car is. Shoot me

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By billchao ·

      Birdied #13 at Quail Brook, which is new. Blocked tee shot right which ended up being fine because I didn't hit it well enough to reach the fescue. Had 110 to the flag and was ready to hit a 3/4 GW to it (even tagged the club) but felt the wind pick up behind me so I decided to club down to the SW and hit it to 4'. Lipped out a 15-footer on #17 for birdie for a tap-in par that also would have been new.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By roejye ·

      I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.

      A Year of GEARS

      By 11bravoveteran ·

      Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
