Supra was dissing C5s
I was in traffic the other day (in the Northern Virginia/DC area) and about 2 cars up from me was a Supra with the license place "C5 Eater". I thought that was actually pretty cool... I mean, that's a message to a very small group of drivers - I bet that plate leaves a lot of people scratching their heads.

Good plate 
I am sure as do most ppl on the forums supras are nice cars, and if done right can eaisly eat up C5s depending on their modifications. I just hope he has the the bite to back up with the bark.

I didn't get up close to it (I was in bumper-to-bumper traffic) but it didn't look like anything wild. But then again, it could have been modded like crazy in the engine compartment and left low-key on the outside.
Still, it'd be fun to see if that guy could put up or shut up at the track.

I'm sure a lot of folks would scratch their heads since only one or two percent of the population would even know what a C5 is.

I don't waste my time with that stuff. So what if his car is faster in the 1/4 or handles better? Where is he going to be demonstrating his car's capability....on the street?
We all already know how stupid street racing is, so pay no attention to them - attention is what they want anyway.

I thought we were the ones that wanted attention... Isn't that why we drive the coolest cars, (for under $100k), on the planet and we mod the crap out of them as well as wave at each other like we were in a frekin parade?
I just love Corvettes and fellow vette owners!

DO you think that a Supra or Crustang would go over well trying to take a female doctor or lawyer on a first date? Very few women would think a Vette owner is an underachiever. Besides that, the Vette is 100% American!
