Default Be Afraid, Be VERY AFRAID!!!!!

Just read this fun little piece:

http://www.askmen.com/toys/cars_150/155_car_review.html


4. Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Ponies: 505 horsepower

The Corvette has been a staple muscle car since it first appeared back in 1953. This car's legacy as a speed-demon has never disappointed, and Corvette has honored that heritage by bringing back the old American muscle machine. The geniuses at Chevrolet have brought back the Z06 model, which includes a 7.0 liter V8 that pumps out 505
horsepower and puts 470 lb-ft of torque. With this kind of power under the hood, all you will have to worry about at the track is keeping the tread on your tires.

This car will give you instant respect on any quarter-mile track, whether it is your local drag strip or the street around the corner. Just rev the engine and listen to the beautiful sound of 505 horses waiting to be set free. Then check out the lane next to you and watch the fear well up in the eyes of the poor guy you are paired against. Sit down, strap in, and blow away the pretenders.

That is one of the most irritating web sites I have ever visited. The pop-over ads that appear repeatedly (I have an active pop-up blocker) is ridiculous.
