This isn't a thread. And it definitely not an anti-Corvette thread.

So when someone goes on and on and, Blab, blab, ba, ba, blas, about their 350hp Porsche beating a Corvette, I get really disgusted with this forum and I stop reading. That's Democracy! And use of one's brain.

Porsches aren't about beating Corvettes! Stupid! Corvettes are now, great cars, so what is the issue? I'm a Porsche guy and I don't care about beating Corvettes, some I can out run, some I can't, just like I can't beat Dick Cheney in an as--ho-l-e race, he's got it hands down.

Porsches are about driving. Every time you look around, for the rest of your life, there will be someone faster, smarter and wealthier than you are. So please, let's stop the bull**it, and the who's got the biggest "Dick" contest on this site.

Anyone claiming to beat new vettes are fibbing or the driver didn't know they were racing.

I quit reading that thread too. Not very bright racing on the street. I had three Corvettes, two of them new and one with 10k miles. All were very reliable and held their value well. I like my 991 and 911 a lot, but I still like the Corvette.

I know how that Corvette drivers feels. I get 'beaten' by people out of the lights every day of the week.

Street races where only one person is racing are really the best kind. They should televise them!

What's with Corvette owners anyways? We have had a few big car show locations shut down because the Corvette guys when exiting the show would spin their wheels, make a lot of noise, disturb the neighbors and get chased by the cops........no one else but Vette owners!!!!!!!

So what's the deal? Back in the muscle car era we always equated a Corvette owner with a small phallus...........the horsepower had to make made up for it. Crazy huh? No one else I know who collectively owned one particular brand of high end sports car shared this reputation (compliments of the 1960's' by the way).

A longtime Porsche owner and occasional Corvette eater.
