If it was a public highway, I didn't car that the car was going fast, just that the driver would look like a dork!

I was running a comparison.. Stock setup VS. My setup.. Well to make a long story short i cooked the OEM tires after just 2 runs.. They went from about 7/10ths depth to the wearbars and the outter edges of the tire are now permanently blue because i overheated them. This cements my "The oem tires suck" complaint.. Drove the other C6 Z51 there running on Toyo's i was almost 2 seconds faster and they didnt chunk or overheat..

For street use they tires are just "OK" but just the fact that GY has the cajones to label them "Supercar" tires is ridiculous. The tires that come with the 180hp elise are far superior in almost every arena then the GY's.

Are you saying that driving around town with a helmet on is uncool?

So…what about, maniacally laughing at people at the stop light and screaming things like, "I've got you now Speed Racer, you'll never escape me THIS time!" I mean, it's not like they can see what...someone...looks like through the goggles and bandanna mask.

Good pic...but what I immediately saw in my mind's eye was how much more sleek, lighter, and more refined the C6 is... just seems to have a right balance... I like what I see in this pic

Thats kind've funny.
That pic looks like one of the best I've seen of the C6, and yet looking at it, it seems too tall, or not long enough for the height. The C5 seems better proportioned from that angle.
