    Like it or not, the Corvette is a world class sports car. Sure, it may not have the panache of a Ferrari or Porsche. The interior is not the greatest thing ever to hit the automotive world. But what it does do is cover a lot of ground very, very quickly and capably. I wouldn't turn up my nose at one for a second car.

    This came out last week sometime, and i have watched it like 100 times. That is an amazing car. But rumors are that the zr-1 and the gt-r times are not from a bone stock car. They say race gas, shaved tires, and a mild tune was in order. As of now the rumors are not confirmed or denied. Who cares? That is one fast car either way. Think about it. The C6 Z06 did it in 7:42. Thats almost over 20 sec faster :eek4:

    I hated trying to get my license on this track on GT3. Took me over 20 times. Ten of those trying to get out of the 1st couple turns.

    Perhaps because you are not going through a midlife crisis?
