R & T article
The only thing I didn't like about the article was that R&T used the word: "abusive", frequently and I took offense to that. I also took offense to the fact that they compared us to Ferrari owners in that our engines were about the same price as a tune up on a Ferrari and such. I feel R&T kinda dis-respected most of the 'Vette owners who really baby and take good care of our cars. Not that there are forum members who abuse our cars. I really feel proud to be a 'Vette owner and feel the article made most of us look kinda "blue collar". Tell me I wasn't the only one?

R&t
The article said said there were two kinds of Vette...Those that WERE babied and those that were abused. And thats not coming from R&T. Thats the opinion of the the Vette experts they interviewed. A magazine people dump on as eurocentric does an article calling the C5 the best performance deal on the planet and they still get dumped on.

Though my AE is the first Vette I have owned, you will probably have to take the keys out of my dead hand!
