And now they're all going to say the F22 afterburners look too much like the F35 afterburners.

I like the comparison and I have to admit I did not like the tail lights at first but they've grown on me and it complements the angular theme of the car

I dunno. I don't see any droopy mascara vents on the F22.

So if the C8 tails aren't the same as the C7, will we still have an uprise?

I told my girlfriend during our NCM delivery this past May... You know were going to buy a C8 too.

The F22 Raptor, the most advanced, capable fighter on the planet, was also the inspiration for my screen name. It has thrust vectoring, variable pitch turbine exhaust nozzles, and can turn on a dime. I was an F4C Phantom pilot in the AF. My wife once asked me: "You've built up successful business over the years. Would you give it all up if you could fly the F22 Raptor?" My reply: "In a heartbeat."

The F22 came first. It's operational. The F35 isn't.

I saw the West Coast public flying debut of the F22 at Edwards AFB. It made its F18 chase plane look like a beer truck. Our cars look and sound better when viewed in person. So does the F22. God, I love that bird!

This is true I do remember Dave Hill saying at the C6 Bash they were designed to look like an after burner when someone asked him why they didn't make them LEDs.

Let's not forget what we have in secret under wraps that the Guberment has not allowed to be seen in public yet.
