OK, so my old Cougar never got their interest even though I routinely beat them on the street and track (highly embarrassing to get beat by such a car ), but now they are seeking me out since I got the GT500.

Twice yesterday alone I was challenged by Corvettes - apparently the nice weather up here got some folks feelin' jiggy. I pointed one out to my kids "hey, see that car - he wants to race me." They didn't believe me as I slowly passed him and he hammered it. My oldest was kinda giddy when she realized that I called that one. I was pleased at how quickly I was able to ride up his **** while my youngest daughter was like "uhh, what are you doing".

(you'll have to excuse my excitement, I haven't had a car like this previously - people look at wave at my T-Bucket, but Corvettes never paid mind to either of my cars previously - I kinda enjoyed the encounter. )

 

lucky man, nice garage. i hope to some day have a car that'll outdo a vette.

 

Nuthin better than beating up on a vette. Those guys can't help themselves but try my cobra. It must look irresistible to them. Don't think I've ever passed by one that didn't want to test it. So far I haven't found one that will hang. Waiting for that new ZR1 to come try.

 

I interest them with my V6

 

Did someone say old Cougar?!?! Pics please.

 

It's not old, old as in 1st generation - it's old - as in a 1987 20th Anny model - which is now 25 years old! Seriously though - would you be embarrassed if I blew away your previous generation Corvette at the dragstrip with this car?

 

My buddy romps on vettes in his cobra all the time. Theres one guy in my city with a crx that absolutely runs the streets tho /:

 

I;m all for beating up on vettes and all but they're american so theyre fine by me...the best is putting ricers and WRX owners in their place

 

Nothing to be proud about by putting a wrx or evo away. Those are track cars and are heavily handicapped on the highway with their awd and small displacement.

Corvettes have always been the standard of highway/track performance. All the more reason I don't have one. Having the under dog is always fun and challenging.

Anybody have a link to mustangs beating vettes on YouTube. I don't see any.

If you look up z4m vs corvette. That's me keeping up with an ls3 Bolton c6 with a 50 small shot...and z4m vs rx7. 75 shot vs ls1 420+whp fd t56 at only 2800lbs

 

I think YOU interest them and not so much the car

 

I remember laughing at this shiny red Maverick Station wagon with the fake wood on the sides, looked like a mint grocery-getter - the thing wasn't even tubbed - stock tire size, 'caps 'n all - made a lot of noise and disappeared real fast - looking at the back end of that thing from your Vette would be an embarrassment!

 

didn't say I was proud of it..I just dislike their attitudes so it's more enjoyable.

 

And with that, I can truly relate!
