I click on the link, but all I get is a page from this forum with a message that reads: "Your account has already been activated so please try logging in."

Somehow you got it linked to the wrong page. This must be what you meant to link to: http://www.racer.com/Corvette-ZR1-Mo...rticle/157650/

(Guess he was talking about the C5, boy do I feel stupid.

"the C5 replacement was on its way, and when that car emerged, I was crestfallen. It had gotten a bad and sudden attack of middle-age spread, as though it was just trying to appeal to the longtime Corvette drivers who were hooked on the name and would simply want the latest model. ... The C6 changed all that. Suddenly the Corvette was lean and mean again, a car to evoke almost as much drooling as the dramatic '63-'67 second generation, a car that could appeal to a whole new generation of buyers, a car to change the image.

You know I don't think he was saying that about the C4, but rather the C5 as the rear of that car is "visually" bigger than the rear ends of our cars?

I agree - as written, the comment was about the C5 generation and not the C4s.

I guess you guys are right!

I didn't pay enough attention to this sentence:

"the C5 replacement was on its way, and when that car emerged, I was crestfallen."

That's what happens when you jump to conclusions too fast!
