I tell them ride in the back about a block behind all the time.

How would you like going on a vette outing and a "Chevette" pulls up and wants to tags along?
LET IN??? I fly on by, a Harley can't hang with me not even on a Screamin Chicken, and mine IS a cruiser, with 125 cubic inches of @@@ muscle........Sorry Forum for the hijack, just defending the metric riders honor....

Maybe this won't explain the lack of waves when the cars are parallel , but I'll be honest....when anything beyond a C3 is coming at me fast, I may not recognize it as a vette until it's too late....

Mark, that sounds familiar.

I read an article not long ago that the majority of C6 orders are first time Corvette owners with their previous car being a BMW or Mercedes.

Having read that it puts things into perspective.
