No offense, but why does that not surprise me?

Those meats are 335mm. I would have celebrated in a different way.

Well, it is very hard to read tone on the internet, so I don't know if you are joking or serious. If you are serious, my bad I guess. I have never been very good at the diplomacy and PC thing.

To be honest, I am very intrigued by the new Vette. I like the styling, I am happy they finally upgraded the interior from the basic Chevy parts bin shared with their cheapest cars and I love the price point for the level of performance. But the stigma (at least in the greater NYC area) of the typical Corvette driver is still a factor for me. Hopefully as the cars improve, so will the image.

I'm joking. I'm really not that serious about anything.

Must be the full carbon fiber hood on the Viper. I was actually quite surprised by these results. Kind of a let down from the new Z06.

Knew it! The smaller charger on the LT4 compared to the LS9 and the higher weight aren't doing the C7 Z06 any favors. It's a shame really, I kinda hoped GM was sand bagging! Current ZR1 owners have nothing to be afraid of (on the highway)

At first I thought this was a case of "there's no replacement for displacement", but then this article populated my news feed....

Holy crap! That BLOWS!! I'd be pissed if I was a new Z06 owner. Not that I wouldn't tune the thing anyways, but still!

2 tuners have REAL tunes on hand already.

Whenever the right car pops up and someone backs out.
