Why do corvette owners
I was driving home this morning on the freeway, and I see this corvette up ahead. I continued at my speed and changed lanes to pass the corvette. I heard his exhaust about the time his front fender was just behind my door. I quickly shifted to 3rd from 5th and stomped it. He didnt pass me and let off pretty quick. He followed me to the next exit and got off when I did, rolled up beside me, and this old man was rubbing his fingers together(for cash?). I just smiled and shook my head no, why couldnt he just smile too and go on about his day, it is nice out.

RE: Why do corvette owners
It was newer vette, but not the latest body style, and not a Z06, it didnt have the emblems. Clif, I hate to say this, but I am not sure what my car has in it. I know its not the original engine, it has a B-cam, and as far as heads, I am not sure, the previous owner said it has some work, but couldnt tell me what. So they may be original, maybe ported, I am not sure how to find all of this out because I cant find the guy who did all the work to it. Any suggestions, I know its not a stocker, and this sounds lame, but how can I find all of this out?

99% of Vette owners won't race, the one you ran into was very atypical.

Yes my car has a stock intake, but not for long.

RE: Why do corvette owners
I only street race or money whats the problem with that? If I am going risk things that much, I make sure it is at least going to get me a few extra bucks in my pocket. BTW a mid 90's Vette is worlds different than a C5. Your talking LT1 or 350 TPI (in the case of avery early 90's car) to an LS1

RE: Why do corvette owners
every corvette around here is driven by a senior, and it is only used to haul golf clubs. With the occasional beat up Lt1 driven by some kid, there are no vette races for me
