Someone in an earlier post mentioned running for registrations. Bad idea. It sounds big and macho but even back in my crazy youth with a 427 C2, I would not have raced a Volkswagen for registrations. There are just too many weird things that can happen - a dog runs under the wheels and throws you off, a patch of oil from a previous pass down the strip, whatever. They could call me wimp or chicken all day, but no race is worth losing the Vette for. You could beat that Grand Am 999 times out of 1000, but if your number 1000 happens to come up that run, you're going to feel awful silly walking home Vettless.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I think if you took this guy for a ride, maybe he'd realize there are faster cars than the GA. Or hit a dragstrip. Or even just measure 0-60mph times on a private road using an iPhone or Blackberry or something. "Fast" is relative, and maybe this guy just has no experiences.
