That may be true but dude, you still drive a Taurus.

Hokster on the other hand has an ultra rare, ultra valuable all original (but not) gold 87 with a twin turbo 409 LSX L-98 that has new floorboards, new bumper and a cloth interior and will smoke a mid-engine EVO.

Just face it, he is the shark. I mean how could you top that?

Wait, I told you, I traded the Taurus in when I got the C5, but I am feeling a little lost without it. Perhaps a new one.............

Wonder if they come in gold..............

Maybe it is not the motor that came from the factory these motors are the motors my dad told me were in it " its a 409 or a 400" i cant remember... <-- says him Chemotherapy and the pain pills he's on he dont know where he's at half the time. Makeing fun of the 409 and 400 is makeing fun of my sick dad and that does make me angry.

Ive never had a lsx motor in it.

Anywho doesn't matter what motor is in it.... All corvette's are slow.... So says my ZX-10r lmao. But ah it is american and fun to drive to bad to many smart asses stay on the forums.
Anybody who wants to try i got my car + my bike vs your car for pinks.
Ah and for a 1 time offer ill spot Jon 5 car length's.
And offer him my car + my bike +5k if he puts is c5 on the line. Hell on the drag strip ill do it on 1 wheel.
The offer also stands on the track ill even spot you a lap lol....

Details of bike 2006 super bike Master bike of the year. "meaning the fastest race bike in the world on the track"
Has some work done putting 350hp at the back wheel weighing in at alittle bit over 360lbs.
Id say on a good day a mid 6 to low 7sec ride....

That's open to any corvette including the 2011 ZR1.

You fail on these accounts;

1. Don't want a bike, especially a 170 MPH suicide machine; Fail
2. Don't race; Fail
3. Have never mentioned putting my C5 up for anything; Fail
4. Don't recall ever seeing a pic of your bike; Fail
5. Don't think you can do a wheelie, seen your pic; Fail

But as always, thanks for playing
