some of you guys are funny.

end of the day, its my decision, so what you guys say doesnt matter.

and for those who gave me kind words, thanks a car enthusiast is a car enthusiast.. im just not into "muscle cars", no need to hate. i do want a C6 just not now, i need the room of a coupe or a sedan.

and for the few that said i dont own the car...? well, you keep paying your payments, maybe your car will be paid off in a few years. i purchased both cars with cash. not trying to show off, just making a point. im sure it feels like **** when a 23 year old buys cars like this with cash while a person double my age is making payments on it. I work had and i play hard. I am an Alzheimer's Disease researcher.

no need to make this go onto page 8. i knew bringing this over here would bring some heat, but its getting ridiculous. i dont race, heck ive never even been to a 1/4 mi strip, so i really dont care which car is faster. I was just stating what my butt dyno feels and including some facts to back it up.

I sure hope you're much better at research than you are at making freinds.

On the flip side if you're as good at research as you are at pissin' off a group of people than you must be doing well.
