Why would he do that?
I just got my brand new ZO6 about a week ago. I love it. So when i was just driving around having a great time with a friend, a guy drives by with another corvette and flips me the bird, then takes off laughing. I dont think he knew that i had Z06 with little mods. He had a regular C6 with an exhaust. So I let him go and we both got stuck at the next light. I slowly pulled up and i said "you know bro, that wasnt nice." The light turns green and i showed him what a little horsepower was, which left him a little shocked.

Man, that guy must be a real azzhat. I would never believe anybody driving a Corvette of any vintage would ever do that to another Corvette owner. I think you did exactly the right thing. I probably would have asked wtf was his problem before humiliating him.

A JO C6 Corvette owner!! Imagine that. He obviously has no manners or knowledge of model differences. It seems to justify the physics experiment - as long as safety goggles were in place!

And if I had flipped you off, and you demo'd that vehicle for me like that, I'd sheepishly join you at the next light, say "nice car, how about a beer?" (Assuming we had front license plates so we wouldn't taking breathalizers later!

I would NOT be surprised if you are correct. I have been around vettes, and vette rides, groups, events for a long time. You can't find (like Harley people) a more loyal, respectful, and mutally appreciative group of people. I have just never seen that before, or even close. Anyone with the knowledge, and understanding of plunking down 50-80k on a new C6 has earned their corvette stripes, or at least I would hope so. You didn't cut him off, or hit on his chick.............. did ya?

You guys can go ahead and roll your eyes, but stoplightracing is not exactly the same as street racing, but it is a form of racing on the street or more specifically, a kill story, and the Kill STory section was disposed of long ago.
