My point was to make fun of the mentality that if someone has a V6 they don't deserve a friendly wave....

Not that many LS1s are owned by d-bags. (Although I agree with you)

the majority of them dont. to be honest. good car guys own V6's and take pride in them, but the majority of V6 owners are either middle aged people that drive it like its just another grocery getter. they dont know/care about the heratige of the Camaro/Firebird. its just another car to them. either that or they are punk teenagers that dont have a clue when it comes to cars and think because it says Camaro on the side of it they have the sweetest ride on the road. you ask them, "V6 or LS1/LT1?" and they reply with a blank stare or "its ******* fast man, its a Camaro"

I'm from the midwest where you wave to everyone. I now live in Los Angeles where you couldn't pay anyone to be nice it seems like. I haven't seen too many F-Bodies but when they get close enough I'll try to wave.

sure. i usually give the nod if i see someone driving one. why not? it's kind of like a brotherhood. even if you race one and lose, you don't feel bad because it's kind of like losing to your older brother. if you beat one, it's like beating your younger brother. it's the friendliest kind of competition.

I only wave to other corvettes. not out of disrespect, camaro ss's and firebird ws6's are badass. I'm not sure of the exact engineering differences b/t vettes and camaros/firebirds. It's just more of a tighter family to me with the other vettes. i love them all, though. but i do have a problem with some of the things you'll have said. first of all, just because i'm 16 with a vette doesn't mean i'm rich or stuck up at all. only reason i have a vette is because the 68 camaro didn't have air bags(my dad's an EMS pilot). we're not rich by any means and my dad and i just love cars. and waving isn't a *** thing, but being a dbag and thinking other people are is gay and pisses me off. just my opinion.

p.s.
i'm having a hard time believing some the claims of 500 h.p. with just "bolt-ons". to get that kind of power on an ls1 you need more than exhaust, CAI, and an MAF. although the headers are bolt-on i'm assuming you wouldn't consider it to be.

Man, who the hell claimed 500hp from just bolt-ons? I hope it wasent on this site because that would make this site look bad and loose its reputable name as a place where u can get useful info. Anyone who knows anything about LS1s would not say something like that, and also, headers are completely a bolt-on, in fact they are the exact definition of a bolt-on. Now, when u start talking about nitrous or tubos and supercharges that is alittle harder to pass off as bolt-ons and would fall under the power adder catagory. Bolt-ons are anything that can be bolted externally to the engine to see small power gains, ie, headers, water pump, underdrive pulley, intake, maf, lid ect.
