Usually anything posted in the Forced Induction Section turns ugly very quick.

I was speeding and got a ticket I didn't deserve because the LEO was a jerk. He could have given me a warning.

How about the folks that try to say that if you just add a few parts to there C5 coupe they will be at C5 Z06 performance levels easily. Z06's are not worth the money....etc...etc...

Did I just start an argument ?

"what color is the best?"

"c5 with c6z rims" that comes up as a new thread at least once or twice a week

"can someone run my VIN?" NO

"should i buy this vette" IF YOU WANT, SURE!

"help me decide, xyz" DO WHAT YOU WANT!

My pet peeve is when someone uses the forum instead of PM's for personal ****. Just read one before reading this thread.

I'm surprized no one mentioned batteries or did I miss it

My original battery has been going since new and it hasn't spilt acid on my PCM yet

Or:

Should I buy a column lock bypass?

I've seen lots of threads on CF debating whether to "pamper your vette" or "drive it hard and fast".
