It sure sounded to me like BG was the real deal. Maybe I just wanted to believe it...

What do you mean "if this is true?"... I saved a screencap from my conversation with him and just posted his linked-in profile.

Mr. Gunz may be an engineer, he may work for a GM supplier, who knows... but according to Mr. Charles he doesn't work for GM and doesn't represent the company in any way.

But hey... like that State Farm commercial... "I heard it on the internet so it has to be true... they don't put anything on the internet that isn't true."

I seriously doubt that anyone at GM would put someone on this forum who would present themselves in the way Bigg_Gunz has. The repeated "for your safety" excuse doesn't hold any water in the racing/performance community.

Did anyone actually google Bigg_Gunz? No way that's the image GM would want to present from forum plant.

Exactly my first thought when I first read this thread. Then I posted some questions to him and he was a real wise-*** in his response. There are a few GM plants on Corvette Forum in the C7 sections; we've figured out who most of them are. They pick and choose their words carefully but always hold themselves to a high standard when interacting with others.

Finding another forum to troll? Hacking bank accounts with all his new-found email handles?

I guess my question would be:Is Harlan Charles in a position to know who BG is or isn't?
