It's a shame that we don't see this more often too. Especially from the ponycars. Pretty classy IMO.

I'm from Tennessee also and some of these street-legal diesel's around here are no joke! Some are pushing over 800 Hp and have insane amounts of torque!

In my opinion, nothing sounds meaner than a modded 'stang with a good exhaust system on it! Our Vettes sound great but they just don't have that hotrod sound! I think they sound killer with flowmasters and turn-downs.

They're still faster than you'd think was possible for a big truck!! Some of them can embarrass you if you pick a fight with them!

I don't pick fights on the street - with that said, I'm not convinced that a "street legal" 8,000 lb truck would embarrass me :D

I remember the days when i used to get beat my vettes. I used to own a 2001 GT and then had a 2000 Saleen.

Yeah for some reason the big diesel pickups want to mess around. I just kind of ignore them. |

Normally it's the BMW and Euro guys that are pricks around here and back in FL. Well, the Infiniti G35 and G37 drivers were the WORST back in FL.

I get more idiots wanting to test the wife's Shelby when I drive it than the Vette, but I ignore all of them.
Newbies whining about long-time forum rules against posting about street racing bring the lulz, especially when they quote a moderator's warning. |

DON'T CRY buddy.... I got my Z06 so I didn't have dumbasses in Mustangs mess with me. If they do I show them who is boss. I guess that is why I put a supercharger on.. Are you trying to say that you bought a Corvette but never race it.
Oh, and BTW, you really need to click here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/foru...ng-videos.html Welcome to the forum. :cheers: |

Same for me. I usually just wait for a curvy on or off ramp and allow the Corvette to work it's handling magic as I watch the truck disappear in the rear view mirror.
I love to do that. |

Times they are a changing. Last Saturday I attended the monthly Cars and Coffee. On the way home there was a group of different muscle cars and exotic's all heading the same way across a bridge that spans part of Tampa Bay and once on the other side I pulled up next to a blue Porsche whale tail and he ask if my '07 was supercharged because he said it sounded like it as wee were going across the bridge. I told him no and then he said nice ride and of course I said thanks and returned the compliment on his Porsche. Light changed and we drove off like normal people. Just a few guys out to enjoy the day with a bunch of other car enthusiasts.

It aggravates me that every Mustang GT sounds 10 times better than a stock C6. I know - there have been many discussions on here about why that is so (LSx firing order, etc). But I wish GM would at least make the C6 sound like the great car it is. The 2010 base C6 I bought a few weeks ago came with Bullets on it - now that may be a little overkill sound-wise. I really think you have to have a cam and headers on the C6 to get a good exhaust sound. More to the OP's point, I appreciate a nice looking Mustang, P-car, F-car, R8, whatever -and I really haven't had very many people challenge me on the street in the recent 6 years of corvette ownership. Hey, a lot of different price points and tastes out there and plenty of road for them all!
