Why I really like the Fidanza SM
I know that when I pull up to a light and there's someone there w a 5.0 or some ricecake, I know he feels sorry for that old guy in the old Vette that obviously has one or more rods knocking. and then
I'm GONE!

Re: Why I really like the Fidanza SM
That's a great point Dom. Here I am thinking I'll be embarased by all the clanking around sounding like the motor is ready to blow. But, it makes for a real sleeper moment.

Re: Why I really like the Fidanza SM
I had this exact scenario happen a few weeks ago. Sitting at a light waiting to get on an On Ramp. A 2013 5.0 pulled up next to me. Light went green and I let him go ahead onto the ramp and we both knew what was going to happen at the apron onto the highway. I went wide on him and he got on it. I stomped it and started reeling him in. He cranked the window down and gave me a thumbs up.

Re: Why I really like the Fidanza SM
I love the "sleeper" aspect of the C4 ZR-1. The perplexed look of disbelief .... PRICELESS!

Everybody thinks that, and a guy said to me one day "oh, you have one of the slow ones". Some might think that.
