With regards to the earlier post about a “Z51-equipped Vette is more car than 99% of this board could handle on a track”; you could make the same statement about most any half-way decent high performance sports car on the market today and any “board” that exists on the internet today.

Frankly, there are VERY few people, including “enthusiasts” that are capable of taking a high performance vehicle to its limits regardless of their location or what nameplate is on the vehicle….putting the size of the fish that got away and the size of a man’s private parts, there is probably nothing that gets exaggerated more than a person’s driving ability.

Moving on….

I love Corvette’s. It was a brand new baby blue 963 Corvette Stingray with factory lake pipes that first enthralled me as a kid (my family had stopped at an oasis on the Pennsylvania turnpike during a trip)…I had always aspired to owning one and it is one hell of a performance care FOR THE MONEY. But I wouldn’t buy one today.

The biggest problem with Corvettes are that 1) there are just too dam many around and 2) the old farts and/or young rich kids that own them and the “my-you-know-what doesn’t stink” attitude which, as best I can tell, is standard equipment with the ‘Vette!
