Just what is it that "smells good, too"?

You wanna put a diamond where???
I guess the saying comes from because there is not anything much uglier than a goats butt and nothing much prettier than a diamond so the contrast makes for more shine... The smells good to was just bad sentence placement on my part.. sometimes hit send before the novel is actually ready for the press..

Heres a little something for all the base owners to draw on, when ever a GS owner....(you know those Corvettes with the goofy looking stripes on the front fenders).......start trying to act like they are higher on the pecking order....just remind them of this one thing that seems to slip between the cracks.....and that is that the base is faster. The typical GS owner will try their best to dispute and/or cover up that fact....but fact it is. So for all us base owners I will start it here.....The base is faster....HE HE HE......

....we call that a hybrid base...the Z51 puts you up a notch from the Bbase (base base) but the addition of a power adder puts you at the very top of the hierarchy.....and no...the only thing that trumps a Z06 is a ZR1.....which only the gods drive.......its all very complicated.....takes GS'ers to figure it out.......but we are willing to share.......because we are

Windy...Windy what went wrong......oh so wrong.....how did you find out about those half mile times......? I still say the baser was ram inducted or something.....he said stock but I think he was fibbing to me.....cheater.....the 25 mile headwind did not help with the gracious ample curves of my GS leading back to big booty.......baby's got back.......Baser had a damn automatic also......and maybe I hit the rev limiter........I will be ready for him next year........

....and those stripes are not goofy......they show honor to the great Grand Sports of the past......its called tradition......and it makes the basers even more envious of us.........

Man, what happened to the "class" part of this topic?????????

Didn't think it would turn into another bashing session....................

The GS was introduced in 2010 as an alternative to the Z06, where an owner could have all of the track capabilities of the Z06, with the reliability of the base car engine.........

As in all past GS models, the hash stripes were available, this time in more color options.......... to continue the tradition or legacy of the original 63 GS models............

sure the wide bodies weigh more than the base body panels, especially when using the same frame material, and that may have led to the slightly slower speeds seen on GS models............ but who here actually drives their car at WOT or on a track all day long???????

Not sticking up for any particular model here, just would like to see if we can get back to "class" and have everyone feel free to patronize Hammy's B & G, where the only requirements are a sense of humor, and slightly thick skin...............

Ease up, rkj, it's all in good fun. 'Cept windy...I'm gonna throttle him. Oh, wait, he has a base so he might throttle me. So, I'll smother him in styyyle!

Ruxy, I know all it's in good fun, but I also thought there may "newer" C6 owners who would see this "class" and realize that the C6 is the best of them all!

Typically, the bashing takes full effect at Hammy's.............. where the patrons know it all is for the fun of it!

Nice goat picture too, if I didn't mention that already ................. really got your point across..................

Here is a picture of one of the original GS'ers owned by Ken Lingenfelter, and now powered by a Lingenfelter engine, including dual throttle body style fuel injection units placed on top to simulate "old school" dual quad carbs....................
