Everybody has an opinion , doesnt mean I have to agree with them or let it bother me. The comments about the interiors are not without merit. 
GM could do some big improvements there.

Since I am balding, I better not paint my engine bay...
I have been on a track in a 2007 Z06. I have been behind the wheel of a 2008 Z06 on some great Kentucky back roads. I have raced in several Honda, Nissan, and Infiniti cars on and off the tracks. I have had my C5 in full drift Many Many times. I have driven several M3's M5, and other BMW sports cars.
I applaud the Germans and Japanese for their fine cars, but I have not had more fun in any car than a Corvette.
I wear my Corvette Lifestyle apparel in public, and wave at other Vette owners. Any chance I get to talk about Vettes, I take.
Most people are amazed at the trunk space in my 2000 convertible, and the 27 MPG I get in daily driving.
All sports cars I have ever driven have been compared to the Vette, and have been found lacking in some way or the other.

If the M-16 is the weapon of choice to defend our country, why wouldn't it work to defend our homes, especially since we're not allowed to have nukes.
Talking about IGNORANT, I just got back from Carlisle where I personally witnessed some imbecile walk up to a new ZR-1 on display, open the door, and climb in...all the while smoking a 6" long cigar!!! Then, after sitting in it for a while, he climbed out and walked away, letting the door wide open. Maybe he wanted to let some of the cigar smoke out. I was told at the show that the ZR-1's are selling for $100,000...OVER the list of $103,000, which doesn't include options or gas tax. That's approaching a quarter of a million dollars! Dang, I didn't have quite enough money with me or I would have driven one home. NOT!

People paying $100,000 over list are just as ignorant.

GOD BLESS AMERICA! I can put anything on my car I want, read anything (or not) I want, Say anything I want (as long as it doesn't hurt others), PURCHASE A CORVETTE AND WAVE! I like Supras, Corvettes, BMW's, GTR's, etc. etc. I just choose to own a Corvette for now! Isn't this great? There are alot of places you can't do these things! ENJOY YOURSELF!

Well . . the Vette beats the GT-R without even startin 'em up, ..
..I mean .. one is pure sex on wheels ..and the other is .. well ..
..just another 'econo box.'
May as well get one in white, looks kinda like a tipped over refrigerator with wheels.. just like alla rest of 'em.
-yawn-
I enjoyed the 'only 3 seconds faster' .. at the 'Ring no less.
It's tuff to pick up a tenth if you are on your game and make no mistakes .. ROFL.
That's just me tho.
