Hey, I got a new name for you FBI guys.... How about "Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch"?




I'm sorry guys, I just couldn't resist adding that bit of humor as I sit here at the keyboard, this late at night.

Seriously though, I couldn't be more happy that you all are out there "kicking ___ and taking names" in honor of the ol' "King of the Hill".

Keep it up!

I don't mean to get off topic, but what I would go crazy for is if the ZR1Net would make yearly club shirts like the banners the FBI'ers are holding!

I don't want to take away anything from what those guys have done in creating them, but shirts or even club posters like that would be over the top!

Where do I sign up???!

This guy was so damn smug that his c5 was going to walk away from me that he wouldn't even talk to me at lunch. I think i hurt his feelings.

The ZR-1 has always been a niche car, it's always been one of those, oh it's a c4, to whose who don't know and a knowing nod from those who know what it is. why? I don't know. To me the grand sport is just sorta slapped together. I like the gs paint scheme, it's fun, it's catches the eye but the rear fender flairs look like an after thought, which I'm sure they were, and they look like something you get from APC.

I'm reading the c4 facebook page like someone else said they were...I can't remember who it was sorry about that, and the zr-1 gets kicked in the teeth every chance these morons get. Oh it's too hard to work on, it's slow, a lt4 car is just as fast, it's not reliable, it's over rated, and while I agree with them that it's not always the most reliable car it's no worse then any other 24 year old car.

To summarize my rant, I have no idea where we're going from here

Well, on the Impala SS facebook page, someone was asking about an LT5 conversion, like Tim Allen had done. Someone piped up with the comment of "Go with an LT4...it makes more power." REALLYYY!!!????

About 10 years ago, I had a similar run in with a C5. We are at a stoplight, I looked over to acknowledge him, but wasn't looking to race. On green, he launched out, at which point I changed my mind about racing. I caught and passed him before I hit second.

He was pretty shocked...

Ran a C5Z one day at the track. I had street tires. He was ahead by 2 cars at the 1/8mi. Came around him then and took him by 2 lengths at the big end.
That LS6 nosed over at the top. He walked over later surprised but gracious.
