I have seen members BANNED for making negative comments about a C7 or Tadge.

Bold talk for someone who joined few months ago. Unless you were one of those who got themselves "banned".

Interesting...

Let me ask you a question, are my replies or opinions any less valid because I just joined? Is it a prerequisite to have ample time here to post replies? Maybe I have been a long time reader but just decided to join? It is your type of replies that keep people from joining.

If you want to hand over to others the ability to offend you by their opinion, knock yourself out. I've got better things to do than live by the whims of others' subjective views.

IMO such is what is wrong with much of our current society today; so much willingness to be offended. BTW, since I prefaced that with "IMO", feel free to be offended.

I get offended with disparagingly made personal comments towards me. Like anyone else.
Opinion's about the Corvette's are merely discussion.

If you are participate in the discussion's and have a different view it is not being offended. Am I offended by the notion that the GS is better handling car?

I just consider the facts that the GS times around any track they are slower. The difference is the Z06 is a much faster car.
I may seem offended but really are disputing what I know to be BS!

The GS may have more traction since we have the SAME car minus some weight. It may take the first corner at slightly higher speed But that is it. The distance lost on the straight's is long way buddy! Platform is the SAME FRAME!
The Z06 has around 200 more hp! The Lt4 beats the LT1 7 days a week
and twice on sunday! Even the Z51 should beat any GS in the 1/4 period. I know I sounded Offended !

Small question here. The Z06 gets a stiffer leaf up front in Z07 trim than the GS. Which leaf does the ZR1 get? Might be as simple as that.

I for one prefer the stiffer leaf whether Tadge likes it or not. It's harder to drive but much more fun and I think more capable in the limit.
