Oh no you din'unt...
...oh yes he did!!! I can't believe it, you are a traitor!
You sold a TA for a VOLKSWAGON!!!!!
BTW I loved my Z28 for the world but my Scion xB has a better fitting interior, though the Z28's driver seat is much more comfortable to drive in.
The materials are the same quality and whatnot it is just how they are formed and fitted. The F-Bodies paint is a lot stronger and better applied than my lunchbox lookin' xB.
The fake steering wheel in my Z28 was sooooOOOO much nicer feeling than the steering wheel in my xB and I liked the feel of it more than the wheel in my Z06.

You've seen F-bodies blow vettes off the street? Cool... I see Hondas blow ******* Vipers off of the street. Who cares?
You raced someone and beat them because they were afraid to scratch their car? That makes ZERO sense
Who paid 60k for a Vette? Either they got ripped or you're an idiot. Who's still paying 30k for a 98 vette? You can pick them up all day for less than 20k w/o even looking hard.
Why would you even brag about your car being lighter than a Vette... Who cares. I'm curious to know what you did to lose about 350 lbs.

but dont get me wrong, i respect vettes, they are cehvy made, they are the brother of the camaro and ta, lets not be dissing each others cars here comparing them, we know the corvette is overall a better car, thats what you pay for! i just cant afford a vette, so i got the next best thing, a camaro! its fun as hell! my friends camaro is getting modded to have 1200 hp, he has the money to buy a vette and do that, but he likes camaros handling better than a vettes, having driven everything froma 1969 camaro to a 2006 z06, its a hard call. i love vettes, and camaros... ugh. im happy with my camaro though, till i get $$ to get a vette, im gonna smoke stangs and ricers with my camaro, most people in hawaii dont know wtf a camaro is, they see my car and are like wtf that thing looks badass, everyone knows what a vette is there, i kinda like that element, ricers dont know what they are up against, stang owners dont know, its great..

F-bodies always have a much higher chance of being more moddified than a Corvette. Why?
I'll tell ya why, their parts are half the price, they don't have to worry about raping their IRS, and you can utterly thrash the car and put it back together in one weekend.
I mean I took out the ENTIRE interior of my Z28 and put it ALL back together in one-and-a-half days. That is track sesson friendly if you ask me. They come apart like legos which is perfect for a radical build.
You can slap on a 9 in, tub it, put an adjustable set of shocks onto her, take off the front sway bar, run a 250 shot of nitrous, a 4200 RPM stall and have fun all day at the strip.
Then...
You can put that sway-bar back on, put your handling wheels back on, and then take'er to track the next day.
All of that is fairly cheap for a pretty crazy build compared to a Corvette.
The Corvette just can't take the abuse because replacement parts are double the price (I'm talking IRS here people).
At the same time though the Corvette will rape a F-Body on the track build for build price for price while it still has a stock interior and nothing but a set of Bilstein's and some used Z06 sway-bars.
Both cars are equally fun in the end though, hands down they both are worth every penny compared to a POS Celica. I mean even a Miata is loads of fun if you race in your own class.
