Nothing grabs my attention like a Corvette when I am driving. Any model any year. It is a big part of being a Corvette fanatic . I am proud to be called that. I never hesitate to promote Corvette ownership when I meet new people. My salesman is Mike Furman of Criswell Chevrolet. He supports the forum and he supports the Corvette Museum...

Italian exotics are rarer, but I get excited every time I see a 'Vette on the road.

I bet you make your living guessing the weight of fat ladies at the carnival and you're looking for another job.

C7 is wider than a C6Z06....NO, as the Z06 is 75.9" wide and the C7 is 73.9" wide.

C7 is lower than a C6 Z06....YES, by a whopping .100" of an inch. Z06 is 48.7" and the C7 is 48.6". LOL.

Sharper, questionable....here's my Z06 and it looks pretty sharp coming off the track at Talladega.

I say that all the time. I will walk rite by my ZR1 in the garage and not give it a second look but when I see a vette, any vette, on the road and in motion, it raises my blood pressure!!!

I hope you guys were able to slow down enough to make the next exit for the Cracker Barrel. Next to driving our Corvettes, eating is a close second.

Foot long tuna salad on wheat with every vegetable EXCEPT lettuce and no cheese and no dressing at Subway. Better for you AND keeps the overall weight of the Vette (with you in it) down

Can't argue with that. Just wish I could pull it off. I have a huge problem with passing by a Cracker Barrel. I even suggested to our club that we plan a two week cruise and see how many Cracker Barrels we could hit during that two weeks. maybe even try for a Guinness record.

I got a poor reception to that idea. I wonder why? I like the Cracker Barrel, when driving a long multi-day cruise. I don't eat at the local one, though.

Great, OP is trying to say something nice and complimentary about all C6 AND C7 and you have to state this. Just one more insecure C6 owner.

I'll get you some self-esteem for your birthday.
