Default C7 Breakast Menu

So, my Vette has scrambled BMW M4 for breakfast. The M4 had a big ol' plate of crow.

If you are wondering what I mean : On the list of stupid driving instances, this morning's commute holds a place of honor. With both cars at WOT, my base c7, from behind the M4, pulled hard past the m4. Then the curves on the 111 North between downtown LA and Pasadena was another highlight. the C7 took them faster.

Wise and safe ? no. But I checked another 'I wonder if <insert car here> is faster than mine?' box.

Seriously? Just because you show you have less brains, and bigger ***** ona highway, doesn't mean your car is faster. Yes your car will be faster on a race track, it should be it's a different class.

Yes. Seriously. I find that, generally, what I do with what I own is just fine. But, thanks for the input. I'll think about what you.... who am I kidding. I won't.

Just one more clueless person putting other people at risk "for fun". I get it's your car & you can/should drive it like you stole it ('16Z06 M7) but on lonely roads where the only danger is to you, your car, & the wildlife.

Better yet, go to the racetrack. But, if you are going to do something in the streets, at least win it....

Shame I don't get LA Times out here to read about your pile-up, maybe on national news. Really not being nasty, it just gets old seeing these type of racing on the streets going bad. Just out of curiosity, how old are you? Never mind, just looked on your profile-was really surprised.

Yes, I get that & the fact he doesn't care about anyone but his instant gratification. I do see you're quoting tcinla, but I know he (OP) will never get it.
