I hear the C6 Corvette can't go over 68 miles an hour.
Because if it goes 69, it blows a rod!
Just kidding, for humor's sake alone.
I had a C4 vert, and I really loved that car. But when the Viper came out, I recognized it as the most signifigant modern sports car any major American manufacturer has ever produced, and I knew I had to have one. Like Paul Hawker says, my Vette is "history".
There is a brewing storm between possibly the "Blue Devil" codenamed Vette, and the Gen3 Coupe Viper. Those at the helm of DC have expressed their commitment to keeping the Viper out in front. Their resolve at automotive excellence, and performance dominance, is evident in the ME 4-12 prototype. No one expected this surprise ambush at the NAIAS, but there it was, and other sports cars cowered in fear. If DC is right with their projections, the Enzo has been dethroned, and maybe the McClaren F1. What other auto company has b*alls that big?
If thats any indication of the kind of leadership we have at DC, then you can bet they won't let the Corvette steal our thunder.
Corvette has been playing catchup ever since the Viper came out, and as of now they have never caught up. A 2004 SRT-10 Viper will stomp a C6 Vette, and when the Z06 comes out, we will have a bigger cannon by then too. DC won't let the Vette win. Get smart, and join the winning side.
