Draw your own conclusions.
You must not autox much, or you would know why a c4 has a better time. First c4s have been around for a long time, so most guys know how to set them up for autox,also they can run R tires C6 can't, not in
stock class they don't make them for the c6. Also c4 just kick A$$ in
autoX, so it's not a big deal. You don't say what class they were in,
all stock or what.

I didn't think they made Corvettes in the early 90s. As far I was concerned they stopped in 73 and started again in 97

You should scan up your pay stub and put it in your signature. Maybe that'll put a stop to it.

Maybe he can quote you in his sig instead. Then when everyone knows he has a C6 'cause he's got a lot of money, he'll be an Internet superstar.

Shoulda bought a ZR-1; you'd have more disposable income, and just as fast a car!

BTW nothing dumb about being a soldier!

Well now after reading must of your post, I can see you know nothing
about autox, so I guess this thread is just a waste of time.

Think you might get enough equity of out of the C6 that you can own one of those C4's out right?
