I see alot of vette and have worked on alot of vette at the dealership i work at. 80% of them are old rich *** hole's with stock A4's and think there so much better than everyone because they like to stand and watch everything you do(pisses me off!!). The other 20% are guys that are modding either slow or really fast. I drove one that was almost as fast as the Z06 and it had about a 10 grand flame job on it. But Nice to put that tool in his place.

Ya know, I think it's because C5s are generally faster than F-bodies (not trying to be mean, but stock for stock 99% of the time probably) so it's not a big deal for us to talk about beating one. I've beaten many over the years but, it's just kinda the way of the GM world. But for an F-body to beat a C5 or even a late-model C4 its usually worth talking about because it generally isn't supposed to happen.

Good kill though, he deserved it.

I watch mine to make sure the retard working on it doesn't lift it by the rocker panels again.

What would be the the correct pace to mod a car at? (since you are obviously an expert)

I agree. I've killed scores of F-Bods. Never lost to one, but I really think I'd get the "who cares" response if I posted. That, and it feels somewhat cannibalistic. I only race F-Bods that ask for it.

Thats really sad. I think everyone has pride in their vehicles...we love them and thats why we bought them. None the less, no reason to be a ***** about others peoples cars. Glad to hear that you gave it to him! Most of the vettes around here are driven by people my age (26) or older. They are damn sharp looking cars. Whenever I see one on the street I always look over adn you know...they are always looking at my WS6...could be you don't see too many of the WS6's around...in fact there are more vettes here! You should always respect someone's car, as well...you never know whats under the hood...fbody or vette.
