Hey Blue!
Talking to you is like talking to my 18 month old boy who has no concept of reading comprehension. Before you call me wrong, read your post and then go stick you head in the toilet and flush it a few times...in fact stay there. Read what you said above...
That was my point from the get go. But just in case you have no idea what you are typing, let me put in idiot terms for you to understand...the guys who paid 70k for the vette would not have paid the same money for a Supra or Mustang that had the same performance as the beloved vette. It goes back to the fact that it is a vette. GM used the performance factor as a justification for them to charge 70k for it, that is it, a justification. It is the same reason why Viper guys will not do the same, hence stop your yaping and only speak of what you know first hand and not what you see on videos.
Wait let me tell you something about videos since you put so much of your defense or case on them. Road race videos are use as trophies, with that being said if the corvette guy planned this race out in his newly 70k car and he lost...do you think he would go on the vette form and post something like, I paid 70k for my vette and I got spanked by a Viper? Hell no! Also, guess what the vette guy would have made sure he won...now I am not saying he cheated to win, but let me put it this way...everyone's car is "stock."
BTW, if you vette guys have problem with launching your "rocket ship", turn on your traction control!
