Just remember this. It may be fast but it is UGLY! At least the vette looks good. Not to mention the sound. No one even notices most of the new models. Dime a dozen!!

Any C3 with with a couple of grand into the motor will blow the doors off any Honda S2000 and look better doing it :smash:

I got beat by a big old Suburban the other day. I had him off the line but then he slowly pulled even and then went by.
My Dodge Durango just didn't have the *****. :jester

Had some punk in a corolla want to run today, we were in stop and go traffic 30 mph road and we weren't even the lead cars. At the stop light he says will that light them up I told him it does alright. Then when the light turned green the cars in front of go and he punches it, I did do any thing but couldn't belive how slow he was.
If there had been a any space to run I still don't think I would have done anything, he was just a pest. Shew fly shew

Heck, with enough $$$ you canmake just about anything fast. I do miss the high speed performance of my C4. But you know what? You drive really fast, what , about 1% or 5% of the time on the street? In a C3 you look GOOD 100% of the time... and no matter what spoilers or fart pipes they put on those ricers they will never look as good or have the style that the vette has.
That being said, I like that S2000. Rented one and a Boxter out in Vegas last year. That Honda absolutely blew that Porsche away.

I usually goad the ricers into thinking they're faster, then pound them when they least expect it. Even killed a 240SX at the dragstrip, with timeslip to prove it, although it was 1/8 mile...
My Corvette is WAY too obvious to be a sleeper, so I have to play with the Suburban instead...
