Funny Vette pic worth sharing...
Someone snapped a pic of me last week while in OC MD.
Notice the vanity plates on both cars ?

Just read the imgur comments... so you're sitting there with super charger whine and a lopey idle and the Rustang guys pretend you don't exist. Priceless. Brings back memories of my 98 Z28 when I was 22, the noise it made alone was enough to shut most parking lot smack talkers up. There was the occasional "1000 HP" Honda Civic Si owner that ran their mouth like the energizer bunny and needed a demonstration... at the track of course.

I actually remember the guys in the 'stang because of the tires in the back seat. I also remamber seeing the plate while cruising, but didn't "connect the dots" or even recall that they or the tag had been next to me.
I've had this "YUL LOSE" license plate for God knows how long. Probably 20+ years or more... and it's been on several cars of mine. I really don't think about the plate or what others think when they see it... it's just been my calling card for so long, I tend to forget about it. lol
Here's the previous car it was on:
It was also on two other Turbo Buicks and two different 8-second Camaros.

The supercharger has a very quiet whine. The average person won't recognize the whine, but any motor-head will know it right away.
The motor is stock inside, so unfortunately there is no lopey idle.
It's the ultimate "sleeper" for me. I would still love to see another 100-200rwhp... but I really do like the stock driveability I have now.

Knowing Jay Leno is a big fan of cars and especially Corvettes... I just submitted the pic to his show.
I'm amazed at how fast that IMGUR site racked up 830,000 views already. That pic was only taken on Wednesday last week.
My wife and I just finished racing gokarts and were on our way back to the hotel when we got stopped at the RT50 drawbridge.

I'm loving the Grand National. First car that handed me my *** (on the track, of course) when my LS1 was stock. I also decided it would be the last.
