Default Corvette vs. Ricers

Yeah, now that I have you're attention.... :jester

Maybe I'm old 'school' but the following was inspired by hanging out here in the C3 section of the forum.... You guys are great ! ....to h*ll with thunderstorm warnings in Texas - I drove my 1968 Vette today - and beware any F--- Ricers that get in my way. :mad
I'm declaring today - Corvette day - so read on if you like 'yesterday's HotRods .....back when "Sex was safe & HotRods were dangerous !"
Ricers just ain't got b*lls !!!

Give me a hard-core Hotrod.

Give me a hard-core Hotrod,
With an air-induction scoop on the hood,
And a 4-speed Muncie 'piped' into a posi-trac rearend,
Hooked to 500+ horsepower of maximum performance.

Give me headers, sidepipes, & a ton of chrome,
Gracing the slender vette body,
Like a danger sign outlined in red.

High octane for the breakfast of champions,
With enough displacement to spit fire like a dragon.

This is my Hotrod, my weapon of choice for the open road !

I agree! Someone help me out here. What is so special about a bumble bee in a tin can? I'm glad I am not the only one that feels this way. I don't even waste my time on that rice crap!!! A rice burner shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentenence as a VETTE.

The Honda sat at idle, its driver intent on the road. The vette next to him growled with menace untold. The drivers eyes locked once then twice, the light clicked green and the race was on!
Out the hole the little Hinda shot, front tires screaming a banshee's wail. The vette fumed and sent forth smoke as if all the demons of hell itself erupted from its tires as the little car left it behind.
Triumph thought he,but no oh no, traction caught, the demon moved now...
The eight pistons sang their siren's song as the tures caught good and the car bellowed its demonic roar and closed the distance to overtake the smaller car.
the panic overtook the rice rocket's young driver as he floored the gas, The turbos wined and spun and spat as the speed poured on, and at the push of a button, the blood of dragons flowed through vains of braided steel from the twin NOS bottles in the belly of the thing
and set the cylinders alive with the power of the dragons breath. The Honda pulled away..victory apparent. But the chevy's driver grinned an insideous leer
as his blower kicked in
Hellfire and Brimstone spat forth from the tires as the vette took flight, front end floating in midair. And then it was gone, the Honda's driver stared as the taillights dissappeared in the distance...The Detroit Steel vanished in an instant. To the side he pulled, his motor tapped out, the knocking of spun bearings and the clicking of a blown turbo adding to his despair...so a type R sticker did he put on to make his mood repaired!
