Thanks bro, please post up some of yours, I save every single picture of vette's I come across.

edit: I will look at your avatar photos, duh!lol

editx2: holy crap, twin turbo, I had a twin turbo 3000gt, 181, cubic inches, 15 psi, I would love to have a low compression ls1 and boost 15 psi, it would be ornery!!

Is it considered uncouth for a c5 to wave at a c6?

Exactly, and I'm freakin tired of the bad attitudes around here, if you don't like the badge of chivalry to your fellow man and woman and vettes, then buy a prelude, drop and h22 engine in it and boost it. It will be just as fast (or faster, psi dependant) than a vette. Get some neons and go around sneering at everything.

P.S. Have a great day!

if you feel compelled to the possibility of waving to more than 30,000 Corvettes depending on the model year, by all means, please do so. On the other hand, if your emotions are so hurt by the fact that just maybe the Vette is no longer an unusual item on the roadway and a fellow Vette owner fails to provide the obligatory wave, maybe you should ratchet down your expectation levels of a Vette being some kind of social club, just lunch, or dinner for eight pass. Let's see if I drive a Vette I have to wave at another Vette, if I ride a motorcycle, I have to wave at another motorcycle, if I drive... You get the picture.

I waved at every person I saw on the way to work today in hopes that stupid threads like this would stop being posted.

Kill the wave threads.
