That's what I told her too!

Next time I'm gonna reference the Argonaut age to help make my case! Thank you.

Hilarious! I live in Northville, MI and it is GM employee central here, and there isn't a single Vette owner here that is under 58 or 60. I love the new Corvettes.

I think the suspension on the Grand Sport is still a little soft for the doctors and their much younger and hornier wives.

With the Grand Sport's launch control and fatter 325 width tires, there's no way a GT500 is going to launch that clean without spinning. With 475rwhp, there's no way your going to stick it from 0-60 with street tires @285 width only, you're spinning into 2nd. That's been my experience with my car with the same rwhp and rears. Erik
