Very well said, but sadly, there are many vette drivers who think just because they have one puts them in a higher class........maybe in the strickest sense of car performance vs. car performance, but the ones that think it puts them in a higher class of people are actually quite pitiful.

Alphas always get challenged.. it's just nature.. get used to it.

What gets me about the Ricers and Tangs, is that they have the need to get past you and then cut in front to show that they're ahead. Obviously immature envious A-holes.

Thank you !

Let me ask you something honestly, why does it matter? If it is indeed true, why would you care? People rev at me at stoplights everyday all day but I do not think anything of it.
