hmm some reason had the impression they stopped after the c4

o well either way my point was.. they arent heavy

they can only fit 2 people whereas your cobra can fit 4+

When the ZR1 was introduced in 1990 it could'nt be touched for under $100K. This car put the U.S back on the playing field with the other high end exotics (The last car being Ford's GT car in the 60's) and the Viper was still two years away from production.

haha there is a company that is selling shirts (that I AM buying) that has it on there... It's hilarious. I love it. but it's also true, I have already seen older guys in their C5's tryin to flex the Corvette muscles and just take off, and i just hang on thier bumper, lol... God what fun it is to be 21... lol - I've even had one guy yell how he can't believe my parents bought me one... then felt dumb when I told him i am the only one paying for it, lol

Understand though too, the prototypical Corvette owners is the 50 year old guy with the Corvette leather jacket, hat and driving gloves that parks out in front of (insert fast food restaurant here) with 4 other guys just likes him and thinks they're the ****. lol.

Why all this animosity towards Corvettes? We owners don't rip on Cobra owners. Yes I know there are some old farts driving their retirement pension and think their **** don't stink. But not all Corvette owners are like that.

I can imagine some idiot thinking his plastic bow-tie is the car to end all cars and you just can't resist to show them up...........and you can't resist. It already shows beating a ZR1 and changing your sig and getting the T-shirts.

Sooner or later you will run into that old fart that can drive or has some extra treats under the hood.........Until then, happy and safe motoring on your Vette hunting expedition............LOL
