Gonna be makin noise when you pull away from stop anyway, why overdo it?

 

Reving doesn't hurt anything, BUT WHY!!! It's a VETTE! Everybody knows your dick is bigger than theirs. No need to rub it in.

 

I do it atleast 2 or 3 times a day. Mostly I just go vroom, you know, once to 2 - 3K
I was a little worse when I had my SS Camaro, now it was LOUD
One time, I was right beside a middle aged woman on the phone with her window down last summer. I tached her up quick to like 5K and the woman LITERALLY jumped and screamed "O SH**!!!!!!!!"
I haven't laughed that loud/long in a LONG time

 

Well, just think of how you'd view the owner if it was an Integra or mustang sitting at a light or in a drivway revving it up. And then decide how cool or obnoxious it is.

 

SHOW OFF! all you want! Just keep it under control when your wife is with you!

She doesn't like it so just do it at other times or not so crazily, tone down a little, meet her halfway or somthing!

Thanks,Matt

 

Grow up !

You are embarrassing the rest of us vette owners !

 

Not everyone here keeps their car at home, we enjoy them and drive them how they were meeant to be driven. So what if I like to show off? I'M PROUD OF MY CAR.

If they were really proud of there car, I think it's cool, just as long as they don't condemn my car. A car guy is a car guy.

Now that bass is another thing.....

 

I think the Vette speaks for itself. No need to throttle up while sitting in traffic.

 

go figure..... i own a Harley also. Vance and Hines big shots, very loud.

Guys i didnt mean that i do it at every stop light. you guys know that feeling when you are at a stop light and some little kid is in the back seat of his moms Altima and he smiles and gives you a thumbs up and you give it a little gas and he smiles bigger. Thats what i am talking about.

 

Nothing wrong woth a little showing off in my opinion.

VVVVRRROOOOMMMMM

I agree, these motor sound sweet!

 

How they were ment to be driven? That pedal is ment to make the car go faster. It's not a noise maker. Let the ricers and Novas in the trailer parks rev em high.

 

I think when some people hear a reving engine they hear noise. Others hear sweet, sweet music. Depending on the engine of course. Nobody wants to hear a Mitsu Mirage with a broken exhaust reving. But a Corvette? Who wouldn't want to hear that? If I was next to you at the light, I'd give you a big .

 

I caught that

I like it quiet, keep my Z06 a sleeper - and she's got it where it counts...

 

, I've got a Harley too and there's nothing nicer than seeing that little kid grin ear to ear at the light when you goose it a little bit, now for the serious folks on here about the Harleys being loud, mine isn't as loud as I could make it, but the guys are definitely wrong that say the noise doesn't save your life (they wouldn't know) I do because it has saved mine. I ride to work on I-696 to Detroit 6 days a week, and if a car doesn't hear you first, they move to your lane, whether you are in it or not, after this happened to me quite a few times, I put different mufflers on it and it made all the difference in the world, you can actually see the people look in their mirrors when you approach (don't really care if you believe this or not) but my wife and I take a bike trip and a Vette trip every year and I plan to keep doing this until the hearing impaired knock me off the road...bob.

 

Rev it up and have fun!

If it makes you happy then go for it.

 

Try to be considerate. Use the ricer analogy. One of those punks pulls up next to you a at light and starts mashing the gas. The first couple times you give them the "Car Crazy" benefit of the doubt. Then it gets old, FAST. It sounds nasty to you but they're just showing off.

Remember, like it or not, you represent the Corvette community when you're out there. For every one person that grins there are probably five that grimace. One or two 2K pumps gets the point across. One 5K bump will almost always get bad reactions from someone.

My old race mechanic told me to stop showing off! There is a certain amount of slack or lash in an engine at several locations (timing belt/chain for one, rocker adjustment for another). Revving the engine forces it to keep passing through transitiosn where nothing is "timed" properly like it is under constant acceleration (even light acceleration) or deceleration. During a normal lifespan the amount of time an engine spends in that "zone" is minimal but the more you sit and rev your engine the more time it spends there. Do it a favor, stop slapping it around unnecessarily.

Oh, and if you just want to get noticed run down the street naked screaming "I own a Vette, I own a Vette"

 

 

Your Vette..Rev it if you want too..............
