"Much like Clark W. Griswald heading to Wally World, I'm on a quest to beat a 14 second Subaru with my 8 second Z06. I've entered my car in dragtimes.com timeslip section and I'd like to have the car fetured next month. So, how 'bout helping a Corvette brutha out with a vote? Pleeeeeeease?"


this is just too funny......where is this guys sense of pride????

i'd vote for the Suburu, the Z06 owner is really going to be embarrassed when he loses....and if he wins, what did he prove????

Well, 6 hours left to vote and I'm ahead by over 400 votes. Unless the guy cheats by running a program spoofing ip addresses I will win and have the car featured next month.

What did I prove? That I have a kick *** car that people recognize and think that it's more interesting to have the currently quickest/fastest C5 Corvette in top place rather than a 14 second Subaru.

Where is my sense of pride? I'm pretty damn proud of my car and my accomplishments this year. And that's exactly why I asked for people to vote for my car; to showcase what a Corvette is capable of.

I didn't force anyone to vote for me; merely asked for help. So, you're free to vote for the ricer if you feel like it. Maybe you two can share opinions on which fart pipe sounds best and which decals add most hp?

Happy New Year!

P.S. Thanks to everyone who voted for me!

Because after you've installed new frt end,poly bushings,brake rebuild,SS parking brakes, HD trailing arms, VBP strut rods, shocks,r/r diff and clutch pak, some new u joints, floor boards welded in, new carpet,padding and foam/seat covers, rebuilt headlight actuators and switch, fixed gauges, r/r dash to r/r wiring,new panel lights, space saver spare, new gear on PW , fixed mirror and remote control, new radio/amplifer, headers rebuilt 350 4 bolt,speed demon, 700r4 and steeroids,2500 stall TC on a 77 VETTE you have nothing better to do than write 11 posts per day of useless drivel.

I see neon undercar lighting in that Vette's future.
