Question ZR1vrs458

I've got the 458 beating the ZR1 in every performance category!

Of course you would have to have read the mags to have an opinion!

Cool It is called Rationalization!

And deductive logic! This ability is a large brain phenomenon .

Anyway, never put all your post in one site I always say and this one ended up better for me http://www.z06vette.com/forums/f73/zr1vrs458-118653/

I can't spell worth a crap and constantly have to look things up. I use many words I have never written, only heard. I am amazed that I actually use them right most of the time, spelling aside.

I love the ZR1, but, given a choice I would take the Ferrari, as is Ferrari's plan!

And, It is true once someone comes out with something it is really easy to aim directly at its credencials as a baseline, happens daily! That's why racers sand bag!
Like "ALL MOTOR C5" sharing what he has in his car! I've got just the tech. to waste him between 75-95mph! He has got me 0-60mph! Weaknesses! Find them and exploit them!

And, Troll, Hah!: "BET I CAN RUN CIRCLES AROUND YOU LITTLE BOY!"
