Don't get too mad at 'em. They just don't know what to do w/an 8 cyl muscle car.

WOW.... 1:20.8... with a driver that can't control the rear end. Imagine if they actually got a driver who knows what real power is about. I like how they say leaf springs are old school... when was the last time you saw a fiberglass leaf spring pull 1:20 anything..... maybe when the C5 did it? So it takes third in a drag race, that extra 20K pounds they save leaves plenty left over for some go fast parts if 400 hp isn't enough for you. Think we should tell them the car will register more G's if they stopped drifting like a bunch of teenagers who stole it? Maybe they need a 3 foot tall aluminum spoiler to control the rear end since they don't know how. I like how the C6 still hangs with other world class performers... even when they complain "ohh... I can't shift it... wa wa wa I need a driving instructor... wa wa wa they put plastic in the car" what do they want for an interior, carbon fiber trimmed with leather? No... I know... how about that old school metal dash that's painted body color. Wa wa wa this car wasn't made by me and it's still so fast, wa wa wa I can't drive a rear wheel drive car. Wa wa wa the bumper will absorb an impact instead of getting all scratched up, wa wa wa why didn't I think of that? Take this you filthy brits (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif)
