Default Differences

When I used to drive a Hyundai Tiburon, I went to alot of forums trying to learn more about my ride. And I saw alot of forums and topics about street racing and not so many about the drag strip. mostly due to the fact that the tiburon is heavy and slow. (haha not just my opinion, it's the truth!)

I saw the light finally and got rid of my Tibby and purchased my beautiful 2001 z28 convertible. And After checking through all of these forums, I have noticed a substantial difference between the drivers.

While we the F-body drivers do like to mess around a little on the streets, a lil burn out here, a lil draggin there. We/y'all tend to keep it on the track, rather than on the streets endangering lives. I think it's a testiment to the general mind set of the drivers of different vehicles.

And this speed enthusiastic safety conscious crowd is one that I'm proud to be a part of. Long live the f-bodies and their drivers!
