Drive down the street and around the corner to the local store, guaranteed you will see a vette. Did I mention they all look the much the same. Take an GN. Drive the the store, in fact drive through the next 10 states and tell me how many Vette's you see compared with GN's you see. Point made?
Only 5500 of mine were made. After a few bolts on, mine runs 11's and get a front mount then 10's. Car turns heads 'cause it looks bad ass and I get thumbs up all the time. One chick dared to race me leaving the mall one day. I waved her from my rear view mirror. At the light she asked me whhat the hell kind of car was i driving, she claimed to have 350 Hp and performance rear ect... I said good for you and waved bye again.
I drove a friends 2000 Vette around the corner and not impressed. My car pulls like a jet, constant power because the turbo spools paowr baby. Aint what the vette felt like, not even close, but I didn't have the heart to tell him that.
My buddy got a Z06 and yes they are awsome power and handling but, hey thais a new generation of engineering so what do you expect. In closing, unless it is an old 50's or 60's vette that really turns me on and now worth 6 figures, I'll stick with my GN Gents.

All I can say is, the backend was always trying to pass the front end.
Those suckers are a handfull when the back tires are lit.
But in general they are no way sleepers, NO Vette.Matt37 said:Everyone has their own opinions.
But you do not see ZR-1's very often at all. And if you do not think that ZR-1's and ZO6's are bad ass... Then you have something wrong with you.

Where was it stated that they weren't bad ass? In fact I mentioned that my friend owns a Z06 and I failed to mention that he road races it at Summit Point. Yes I said they are awsome power and modern engineering to command the big bucks. My point is that personally, I am tired of seeing Corvettes everywhere and all of the time. I dig the are old vintage ones along with the old camaros of the 60's. My neighbor has a Camaro I drool for. Noting negative in my statement so please don't read something into it that isn't there.
I have not driven a Z1 and have no idea of the rarity, so perhaps if I saw one and didn't read the fender where it would say Z1, I may think it just another vette. The Vette has been out for sooooo long so can't blame me, like hearing a top 40 song over and over the radio again and again.
Ok, granted, the Regals have also been out there for a long while too but not looking or running like a GN. Look at the GN, no need to read a fender to see a 'Beast' is approaching. No sleeper here. When they see my 3" exhaust with rubber coated on my twin tail pipes and hear the sound of a car this size having a turbo whine of a big TA62, coupled with the sound of 2 stage flow masters, well did I mention the word RESPECT instantly arrives. The only thing is some confuse it with a Monte Carlo which pisses me off, sorry if I offended any one on this.

I always get the guy that says "What year Monte Carlo is that" has happened to me a handful of times.
