Man, those guys can get stirred up in a hurry!!!! I thought everything came back to somewhat normal when they were called to the carpet. They just don't want to admit we can compete (beat) with a truck for around 30K when they are paying so much more for their cars! It has to be the PE*(&, I mean truck envy

Most of us late model Vette folk are supporting us Lightning owners. I am really caught in the middle since I have a 2000 Vette and 00 L. It should really get interesting!

Cool

HI!... QUOTE from someone on the CORVETTE forum ::

Yeah, I've ridden in an '01, but I've not driven one yet. And yeah, you did stir the shiznit, but that's to be expected I guess. I could too if I said that an E46 M3 gives you more car for the dollar than a Vette. People are really defensive on this board for the most part. THANKFULLY though, it usually doesn't get out of hand unless someone's claiming something that's obviously false (like "the new Cobra is going to be faster than every Vette ever made" or something like that).

I just talked to a buddy of mine that works at the FORD engine plant here in WINDSOR. He went down to the dyno room to talk to a friend and they just happen to have a 2003 MUSTANG COBRA 4.6, 4-valve, supercharged engine on the dyno. The ROMEO plant had sent them one to have dynoed. Well let's just say that FORD's is massivly underating that engine's H.P at 390H.P (FLYWHEEL). He saw the dyno sheets stating that it had made 441H.P (FLYWHEEL) with all acceseries and full exhaust system. WOW!!!!!! I think if those are the TRUE #'s then the Z06 VETTES are going to be in trouble!!!!!!!

Hey guys. I'm always having to defend your trucks over there. Most of those vette owners don't respect anything that isn't a vette. I'm pretty big into Lightnings and can't decide whether that or a vette will be my next vehicle (maybe a GN as well), but just thought it was cool to see some L owners there.

Great post!!!!!
The Vette owners will learn one by one as they get their butt spanked by the fugly trucks.I had a Vette and Lightning at the same time.One was fun the other was ok, nothing special so I sold it,which means now I only have the Lightning left!!!!
