Everytime I vote for the mustang a vote is added to the vette. NOT to the muzzy.
Is this happening to anyone else? Could someone have messed with the web site?? The mustang numbers are not moving much and the vette numbers are climbing like 1 every 2 seconds. HMMMMMMMMMM?

I think you're right. It's jumping 10-12 votes at a time when I refresh the window.

Isn't it possible that Chevy forums just sent out a message for everyone to do exactly what we did? I mean the Mustang went from about 30,000 votes to over 200,000 in about a day. The Corvette fans might be doing the same thing.

I don't think there are that many corvette fans! 
I remember the New York Auto show. It was very easy to see the new vette (because no one was there). It took me forever to get close to the new Mustang, with the crowds of people around it!

Yeah, it's not likely that there are so many Vette fans dedicated enough to actually mess around with a poll. They're too busy messing with their toupees. 
And, what's funny is that the Camaro guys are probably secretly voting for the Mustang and not the Corvette. :yes:

It's HIGHLY likely that it was. I used to own a BMW site a few years ago when these VBulletin forums became really popular. There was a site to vote for your favorite forum. A person from another site, or who liked that site, hacked the program so it would add votes to that particular site all day long. I didn't care enough to figure it out, but it happens alot. It's not a difficult hack.
