:LOL: Gamers... Ignore em... clean their clock... walk away.
I've been an internet gamer for years. Even attended some conventions and if there is one thing I can say about gamers, they run their mouths... blah blah blah.
Hey waterboy, can you send me a link to that game :Big Grin:

To suggest that a C5-R is anything close to the C5
the average guy drives is like saying the average Piper Cub
is the same as a P-51 Mustang. If that car had a fuel problem
it was unlikely the stock set up or the average Exxon unleaded.

The C5R is nothing like a street Vette. For one it has a 7.0L engine, that's a 427 SBC, pure racing engine not available in any street configuration (although the engine builders start with a stock LS1 block). 600hp/495lb-ft. 2500lbs curb weight.
These are factory race cars, nothing in common with street Vettes other than the looks.http://www.7extrememotorsports.com/l...rvette-c5r.htm

Correct me if I am wrong but anyone who watched fastlane a few years ago, wasn't he driving a vette in that show. I think he was drag racing VAn in a 50th ann. On that though the porsche stalled and the vette won. I bet he hatted that hydolic clutch 
I feel that most "import Drivers" dislike corvettes because when they bought their honda civic and through the 50 shot of "NOS" in they though they would be able to pull a Paul walker and smoke Ferrari's. They all cry when I am able to take them out in my mom's Rav 4.

LOL u wouldn't believe the s*** I got in one of my psych classes over it. Everyone was asking us what our pet peeves were and I said tailgaters and a**holes who never even hit the speed limit. They asked what I drive and I made a smart *** remark and said "a car" as to not give it away and one chick smirked and said "he probably drives a vette". Then some other guy in the group goes...yep a vette driver. I was like "what the f***?" I asked her how she came to that conclusion and she said and I quote: "it's because I looked like I had money by the way I dressed and I acted like an a**hole." I started laughing and then she said and I quote again: "That's exactly the response I would expect from a vette driver." I never admitted to driving one....but I asked her and the other fool what they drive and they both said Honda civics. Need I say more?

As far as the ranting you heard: You can't regulate jerks.
If you could, Congress would have already passed that regulation.[/QUOTE]
if congress passed that regulation, they would all be out of a job

A little more on the crash. The race had just begun. They were on fresh cool tires and Jr. got into it a little too much on a turn. Did a almost 360 hitting the rear/side and knocking off the filler tube. Since it was a new race the tank and filler were topped off and when the tube broke off, gas came out hitting the hot exhaust and that, with the fumes, ignited the fuel after the C5-R came to a stop. To me it looked like Jr. did a heck of a job getting himself mostly out of the car before one of the road side people helped him the rest of the way.
