Caught the bug!
I have had my vette since last May, I was pretty happy with the performance. I was able to peel out and go pretty fast. But, tonight I had my first ride in a modified Buick Grand National! I don't think I have every been that scared in a car. The guy says he ran an 11.3 at the track, I didn't believe him until I took a ride and then he showed me the time slip. Just incredible! I guess its time for me to order those aluminum heads!
To top off the night I took him for a ride in the Vette and he acted amuzed on how fast it was. I wasn't sure if he was serious or not b/c compared the GN my vette might as well had a 4 cyl

The guy should have been honored to ride in your vette. You have nothing to prove. You have the vette. Still sounds like a fun ride to me either way.

Amen reverend... a Grand National or any of their like cant hold a candle to a Vette. They might go faster but thats a shallow victory for them, we've got everything else

any car can be made to go fast. With enough money even a civic can be made fast. But..at the end of the day...win or loose..fast or slow...your driving home in a Corvette Stingray..he is driving home in a Buick. Its a cool buick but its no corvette.
