LOL...I'm sure this happened.
Just like the PM's I got telling me not to waste my time with a story-telling, basement dwelling, phony. Maybe we're getting PM's from the same bunch of losers. Or maybe not.

Sure you did.
You're such an experienced owner of hot rods you had to register on Corvette Forum to ask whether you should buy a Z28 or a Z06, failing to ever mention you owned a ZR1.

Another CorvetteForum phony.

Let me ask Einstein, if I never mentioned I owned a ZR1 how did you know? Are you clairvoyant or just FOS? As for inquiring about the Z06 I thought I'd get some insight about a new car, is that a problem somehow? And even though the Z28 is not as fast it would be the car, even in the rain it can turn a lap.

And lastly who said I was PM'd, I said some "reached out" to me. They also implied your early 11:50 run was done with mods b/c you are an attention seeker so maybe your track prowess is really only in your head.

So now my car was modded? You and your super-secret squirrel society come up with that theory? The car is at Criswell, check it out for yourself (aside from the fact that it sat in the pits at Atco for two days with the hood up all day):

It's no surprise, trying to discredit or excuse how well the Z06's are performing has become your modus operandi.

The “It Doesn’t Count Because It’s an Automatic and Road Courses Are More Challenging” excuse:

My personal favorite, the “He’s Cheating Because His Car Can’t Be That Fast” claim:

I played competitive softball for years and you would laugh if you saw what guys did to cover up their illegal bats.

Kudos to Snorman. That's about the most complete ownage as I've seen in a while.

Walk away bpsmokinhot. There's no reason to even try for a rebuttal after that a$$ beating.

So all you have to do is pull all the posts a member makes, post them in one thread and then comment on them and that's being owned and *** beat? All it shows is one member was dumb enough to waste his time and sift thru another members posts and post them and be ignorant enough to play into his game by responding.

Here's a quote you might remember! "Jeez it was just a opinion don't get your ***** in a uproar. Typical C7 forum comment that you guys think your **** don't stink but frankly it's post like this that make it reek!" When I asked why you hang around the "stinky" C7 forums you didn't have an answer other than "adios", yet here you are again. You offer nothing to this forum, other than maybe your "fancy red license plate" you were so proud of in ANOTHER C7 thread. Go back to your C6 threads where you might fit in!

Proves my point. Another sorry excuse of a comeback by pulling old posts out and trying to make yourself sound important. C'mon you can do better than that.

Well I'll tell you guys what. I'm super impressed with the runs the OP showed. I ran mine last Friday night and couldn't get anywhere near his performance. Yes it was 84 degrees and pretty humid and on regular Michelin PSS's, not Cup tires and track prep was nonexistent. I couldn't even break past 120 mph. A guy was there with his new Viper and he was complaining about the track as well. He thought his car should have at least hit the hi 120's and I was kinda hoping for the same performance. We both knew that the hi et's were mainly due to tires and track, but we thought our mph's should have been much better. He of course had heard over a forum that those cars are supposed to be faster than what we experienced. Hello real world. And congrats again to the OP for running so well. I don't even think a 150 shot of nitrous oxide would have got me to or above 130mph. That's just awesome.

Seriously!! I've put off posting thinking the trolls(BMW owners -->hellcat/viper owners-->dethroned C6 owners, etc) would dwindle but the nerve of this guy is comical.

I think it's Derstig's alter-ego grasping at straws
