What reeeeeaaallly gripes them is getting their azzez waxed by Vettes; "...it's so, so...unfair!" sniff, sniff.) (Gee...Where were all those cars in Sebring last w/e?? I saw the Pro-Drive's Aston Martin [good guys] but danged few others.) You can tell when ya got 'em when all they can do is show pictures of then interiors of cars they cannot and do not own.

But, all that bravado aside...I can't say I've heard much about actual records being set (yet) w/ the new Z. Obviously it isn't going to be the choice to represent Corvette at the 24 hour LeMans. So, I'm getting curious about how the new Z performs. Is it really a super car, or is it a C6 with a blower and special "pretty" plastic and tires?

Like it has for the ZR(-)1, time will tell if the ZR1 will earn it's "Z" and join the legacy.

It is a bet you would win 98% of the time. But most unreliable machines in that VID do hold there value for some reason.

There's no use in getting worked up over those a$$holes. Typically the only people that hate on Corvettes are the only ones who haven't driven one. Hell, when Jeremy Clarkson drove a C6 Z06 it even shut his dumb *** up!
