'03-'04 Cobras are the best thing that Ford has done to a mustang in a loooooonnggg time. I'm no ford lover and I would love to have one. He's right, there are alot of corvette elitists that think their cars are gods gift to the world. I think it's bullshit how they treated him and that they locked the forum and banned him for his efforts of TRYING TO GET a Corvette.

Here this guy is trying to convert sides and they be-head him before he even gets one...

I'll put it this way; the corvetteforum member with an ego size of the sun sounded like a total douchebag/idiot/moron and when the Cobra guy shut his mouth for good, the mod comes back to his rescue.

true theyre was some heavy words, but I think the corvette guy was way more insulting with his opinion towards ford guys and cobra...this guy would be flamed for at least 1 million pages

me too. Its a known fact in the modded car world that termies are very well respected. Those cobra maybe a piece of crap like he said, but for a 6 year old scrap, its still very easy to push 500rwhp. Not bad at all

I, unfortunately, know lots of C6 guys that didn't even want to talk to me since I had a C5 Z06, not a C6 (any trim). I don't get it. Even some dumbass in an LS2 C6 was talking trash about C5s. I told him to line it up for pinks if he thinks his car is so much better than my Z06. Of course he didn't and he coward behind his "My car is newer." bullshit.

There's a lot of C6 elitists... The LS3 C6 runs the same 1/4 as a stock 02+ Z06. That Cobra would run laps around a stock C6. Don't worry about it. It's common enough that you should just except it.

There ARE plenty of Vette guys that aren't like that though - like myself; ones that appreciate a well modded Cobra, or a different generation of Corvette.

I think the funniest ones are the obsolete elitists... The guys that have an 85 Corvette and think the L98 Corvettes were the best Vette ever and anyone without an early C4 is just lame. Cracks me up every time.

There are handful of sections that I frequent very often, but I can't stand browsing the classifieds there.

It sucks the Cobra owner got blasted. Probably yet another C6 owner that thought sporting a gold chain and tiny muscle shirt would be all that's needed to dominate the strip. Shoulda waxed the car better, it's worth .5 sec through the 1/4.

Damn, thought that thread would of been longer. LOL

That guy got the raw end of the deal for sure. Had a nice car, which is worth that much money if not more. The guy cutout all the bs and put what he wanted. There are asshats in every car club.

I disagree. That's all I'm going to say about that, though.

You remind me why I'll never be a Corvette guy...too much dumbass that think the name will make the car unbeatable. And I prefer C5/Cobras over a C6. But its true a bunch of Corvette guys know their stuff too. I would even prefer to have a C5 Z06 with a badass stroker than a C6 Z...

I have respect for Termy's.. His attitude towards the douschebags was still unacceptable. "To the top, if you aren't interested in buying - move on" was all that was needed.

I also agree that there are a lot of people who think they are the **** because they own an expensive new car. There are also a lot of guys who respect all makes and models. There is sadly always one doushebag who has his nose up all the way!

I personally am buying an LS3 C6 after college. The first Vette I fell in love with was an 02 C5 A4 with z51 handling package & 3.15 gears. I just recently test drove a 08 z51 and am sold. Now just waiting for investments to grow a bit as I finish college.

There are a bunch of ignorant, dumbass, "my 401k has blah blah blah in it" Corvette owners. Very materialistic and pompous. Its a shame such a fantastic car had to be labled by the stereotype these idiots portray. Good thing I am neither brand loyal nor a Corvette ****.

Yeah, exactly. The C6 is a nice car. I prefer the looks and interior of the C5, but they both have their good points. I'd love to have a TR6060, for one.

LOL! That had me laughing pretty good. I can't argue with it either. I'm in the C6 and C7 forums once in a while to ask a question or comment on something that's related to my personal experience and I always get flamed by the ******** that don't like that I have C5.

HAHA... That's exactly how I feel about some of these guys. "My wife and I retired with a boat, a horse, 3 slaves and my prize C6..."

Give me a ******* break. I'm picking up a forged and blown LS6 in a little while. That's all I need.

If you want to be treated like the man you are and still talk about Corvettes, no matter the vintage go to Digital Corvettes. It's a public forum not a club. There should be no bias as to the type of Corvette someone has or doesn't have.
