He's saying that he kept swapping positions with the C5. This could leave the impression that it's a common thing, given the waving reputation of the Vette community. So he wonders if it's okay to just pass the guy. But anyway, he liked it.

An inferior generation Corvette cannot pass a superior one!

So if you're in a C5 and come across a C6 or C7, you MUST stay behind them

Sheesh.. everyone knows that!

Don't worry. In engineering you get to interpret excellent requests formulated in baby speak or broken English. I got used to it.

Anyway, welcome OP!

Cool to have a fellow nerd on the forum. I'm a front end engineer. What draws me to the C7 for inspiration is the real materials, the power, and engineering. The inspiration is related to how much effort I put into my work which that in turn becomes money...the car is a goal met in that respect. In short...set a goal, claim the reward when met and be inspired by the reward. C7 Z06 is next.
