Most 'Vette owners use them as fiberglass peckers. An ego car is all they are to a lot of people.
Imo vettes are nice cars, but so are goats. They seem like they are riding a high horse on that forum. We need to let them run some of the LSx based trucks we have here.
Hahaha that is the truth! I love that "fiberglass peckers"!:greg:Quote:

That is ridiculous reading that. They need a slice of humble pie from us trucks
Tehehehehe... I see a Vette race day in the near future.
Edit: I'm a member on that site :lol:
Holy crap man u were right they all are over arogant about nothing I mean I like vets and all but there not ALL that but granted they do have anice platform but to be nothing us better than just raining on a old mans parade that has a corvette and thinks his s**t don't stink with a 5400 lbs truck.
Like for instance there's a guy here in town that has a STOCK corvette with 40 series flows on it and he just thinks his car is the fastest thing ever and one of my buddys works for him and he was telling this guy about my truck and all he could say was how stupid I was for doing anything to make a TRUCK fast and that it would just be a compete waste of money. Well one day I pulled up next to him and he knew it was me and he alse knew i was the person he was talking so much trash about but yet he didn't want to do anything he wouldn't even talk to me or make eye contact with me but people like that make me sick
I am with ya. I love vettes and don't plan on being such a fiberglass phallus.Quote:

They need to realize, if they have a vette, they're gonna get challenged.
The vette is the top of the food chain, as far as stock vehicles, so when someone beats one it's a great feeling for winner.
The vette owners need to realize there are faster trucks/cars out there, and if they don't think so, just come over and visit us.
Hell, my cammed, stalled GTO is faster than a ls2 vette lol, it doesn't take much.
I will give the vette owners this, it's more of a package deal when owning a vette, it's just not about speed. It's a status symbol, or whatever.
Whats priceless is when you stomp the mess out of one on the freeway and slow back to down to see the look on his face when a 20K truck pulls 6+ links on him in his 85K car. Thats when the attitude shows its face the best...
i am a member there as well but i go to the C3 side. That forum is the vette equivalent to GMFS. There are a few guys on there that are cool and have helped me out. I dont like to linger over there tho. many will ostracize you(million dollar word of the week) if you dont do what they do.
there all cocky
Why buy a car like the vette, if you dont want to beat the hell out of other cars/trucks with it? To be so pompous and to think that youre untouchable only makes it sweeter when someone buries your butt with a modded truck. Those guys give vette owners a bad name. I call them 'asshats'
my ex father in law owns a C6 and he drives the hell out of it, he was tellin me this story about a 02 camaro handing him his ass, and i go was it orange?? yep...yea i shoulda told you bout that guy :lol: hes one of the cool vette owners he doesnt care if youre in a ranger if you rev up to him its goin to the floor. he did hate that my truck would stomp a mudhole in him though :lol:
:puke:
I got through two pages and couldn't take anymore. Seriously a vette slaughter should be set up. They are just like those damn L owners. I'm not saying that my truck is in anyway faster than a vette but there are MANY on here that would smoke all but about 3 vettes. I see boatloads if vettes everyday on the way to work and I have yet to see one that was not driven by an old ass dude. Even tho I know I should get smoked I still try and race them...none of the old peckers will race me!!! What's up with that??? I thought the vette was the greatest American sports car ever made and it could destroy any modded vehicle anytime. :ugh2:
Back before the local dragstrip (in Scribner, NE) was closed down, once a year the Mustang club and the Corvette club would rent the track for a day. I think the last one I went to was in '99 or so, so it would have been before the C5 I believe.
The Vette guys wouldn't race the Mustangs. We had to take turns, with the Mustangs running each other for an hour or so, then the Vette guys would take their turn and race each other. I like Vettes a lot and would love to own one, but I was actually shocked at how slow they were. Most ran in the 15-17 sec range that I remember. There were a few fast ones, but not many. I very distinctly remember a beautiful blue Stingray with side pipes.....that baby sounded mean. Yet on his run, he only ran 15 sec. I couldn't believe it. My 13.7 sec (on motor) car was faster than 90%+ of the Vettes there, and I have a road-race suspension not a drag race setup. My 60-ft times are horrible as well (2.2-2.5) due to the stiff road-race suspension and getting too froggy at the light. With my setup, my car is easily the equal of a Vette in the twisties too, just not in braking. I haven't given my car a good brake treatment yet. That'll be a $10K project some year: $3K for brakes, $1500 for a 5-lug conversion, $3Kish for a full-floater 9-inch (to be legal for both drag racing and SCCA), $2500ish for new tires and rims......and to do it right, I'd have to do it all at once. Not gonna happen for a long time.
I don't race people on the street in the middle of town. Kids pull up next to me in my car and goose their throttle all the time, trying to pick a race, but I won't. What I WILL do is go out to a deserted 2-lane where people aren't around and it's safe, and race there. The kids probably think I'm chicken, but I don't care. I want to have fun (duh, that's why I own the car in the first place), but I want to make sure other people don't get hurt too.
IMO the Corvette is a nice car. It's their owners that need a good butt-kicking. With the advancements the Vette has made in the last 10 years, it's harder to do now.......but definitely still doable.
There is no doubt that the vette is top of the food chain in the sports car world. Any chump that would buy a car as a status symbol and not use it for what it was CREATED for is a clown in my book. If more over when I finaly can get a vette *which I will probably be 30plus* I will race anyone that I get beside for one reason. Its a vette it should be raced. And a few of the members there stood up and made it clear the vette is the post mark. Most people when modding rides like or want to say I gave a c6 or better vette a good run or better yet beat one. That OP is ,as said earlier, a asshat along with those jumping on his boat.
hey hey hey buddy, watch yo mouth with that stuff. these new turds are no goats. :lol:Quote:

That thread just confirms my long held belief
Old Guy + New Vet = Giant Waste of Fast Car.
The only reason you see nothing but old guys in em, is cause they
are only ones that can afford them, then they never want to open them up.
And think anyone else thats want to drive their fast car fast is a loser.
I love drop'n em down a peg or three with my "5.slow" .......... Windsor baby
Yeah, a TT 351W really compares to a stock Vette. Brilliant.Quote:

I love Corvettes but if I had to choose the Top of The Food Chain Car for me it'd be this one ....

Kinda makes the Corvette look boring

I just hope Corvette owners have never seen this..
YouTube - the fast and the furious - supra vs ferrari.mp4
i love vettes. its the top of the "American food chain" but if i owned one id race it and use it for what its made for.
i would like to get a TBSS turboed that way id have the grocery getter and the speed demon :)
you cant possibly be serious about that videoQuote:

I haven't driven the new Vettes but I can say that Ferrari's are amazing to drive! They are the true definition of a race car built for the street. I wouldn't say the Enzo makes the Vette seems boring, especially not the ZR1. If I could save $850k and still get the ZR1, I would. If money were no object, then I might go for the Enzo.
Bottom line is, whichever car I bought, I would drive it like it was meant to be driven and take people for rides so they could enjoy it too!
wow, im really glad i havent seen that mmovie since... it came out! i forgot how ridiculous it is!! :lol: ''smoke em''
The Fast & Furious thing was obviously a joke. And to get an Enzo today you will need over $1 million dollars since the production run in 2002 was only 399 units worldwide. That is why the Enzo is tops for me.
If I had the time and the money, I'd probably build the GTM kit car from Factory Five.
GTM Supercar
Around $40-$50K by the time you're done, including paint. Corvette motor and suspension, Porsche transaxle, only 2350lbs! Mid-mount motor for excellent weight distribution.
It looks good out of the box, but I'd say a slight bit tame for my tastes. However, add on the optional front fender louvers, splitter, and a rear wing, and THAT's what I'm talking about! It starts to look like a real GT-series car then.
Mostly Corvette drivetrain in a much, MUCH lighter package.
You could mod the crap out of it, tt427lsx with 2k horsepower and still have change left over for some race fuel.Quote:

Lets get ahold of ourselves people. The Vette is 'our God', and we need to respect the legacy. Dont hate the player............without this car, we wouldnt have the LS1. The owners of the Vettes are a whole different story, tho, and I agree with everyone else about this post. They really are pricks, as far as I can tell
It's not the car that people don't like, it's the drivers (sometimes). I think they are great cars especially for what you pay for them. They will out perform alot of their competitors for a fraction of the cost and that's with the base model! The drivers on the other hand are right up there with some of the BMW, Merc & Jag owners that I've come across, not all, just some....Quote:
