Default Need a good laugh, read the C7 threads!

It's great having the forum for a number of reasons; there is a lot of experience and knowledgable memebers that we all can learn from, we're allowed to pretty much say anything, so there are a lot of opinions, some based on fact some fiction and lastely there are the pissing contests that are just hilarious to watch development

It makes my day reading this stuff - thanks guys

I find it quite interesting on two fronts.

1. There are a lot of people registered on this forum that pretend to like Corvettes, but always get flushed out when they try and defend the Viper, Porsche over and over .........etc etc.

2. There are a lot of Corvette owners on this forum that really have absolutely no clues about Corvettes.

Kind if sad ....the second point especially .

Don't forget the ones that don't own a Corvette but love to offer opinions on them.

Don't forget the ones that just because they have some Corvette knowledge, feel compelled to flex their knowledge and opinions on every other topic - qualified or not

Frequently it is like listening to 50+ yr old children having temper tantrums and say "I am not!" - "You are too!" and "It is not!" - "It is too!" endlessly.

What I find the 'funniest' are the 'engineers' who think that the fact they are engineers makes them qualified to second-guess GM's very experienced auto engineers (plus all their specific testing gear) and call them liars.

That said, I learn something new here every time I get on.

You better delete that post before she gets your nuts in a vice.

Thanks for making me feel like a jerk for checking out your wife's assets.

The C7 haters are all entitled to their opinion. I still suspect a lot of them will change their tune. It happens every time a new vette comes out and we are all guilty of it at some point I'm sure. For me the Stingray is so blasted good just like it sits that I'm complete giddy over what the Z06 and ZR1 will be like. I want one NOW.
