Croonah:  "Oh, Balls......I thought we were going to have to PAY for this".
Allstar:  "Croonah, YOU IDIOT! Some of the nicest things are free in life"
Croonah: "Yeah, like mothers-in-law and the flu"
Allstar:  "Meh, whaddya gonna do? He's a complete Maroon!"


I think we should all get together online and reac these suckers tonite.  Can somebody get in touch with "Hotstepper" and see if we can use 'em at TUTU Tonight?
 (maybe we could just "tweak the suspension and gearing a wee bit, eh?)

Oh, and Feldynn:  While I love the 1999 Viper, and you have a beautiful setup for that car (thank you very much!) the rest you can have - they are too unwieldy for my liking. 

I also Think we should have another  IRR Race at DRC in Rick's honor and use the new STINGRAYS

Take a brand new Corvette to a demolition derby?  I could be persuaded.

 One thing i don't understand is the black roof, why?

It's clear-coated carbon fiber. The implication of which is that the car is a true exotic on par with all those other carbon fiber-laden supercars.

Less weight in the roof equals lower center of gravity.

OHMAHGRRD.

Now that I can take a few seconds away from being very TMI about the new Vette...wanted to chime in a few things.

First, while #1a in my billion dollar garage is the Ferrari 288 GTO (84) the #1 is the 1963 Split Window Sting Ray.  Further more (for those who know about me & my writing) my world was created on my 7rd birthday when I named my first character Rex Stingray...after the Corvette Stingray ('76).  So this car & name mean quite a lot to me.

Onto the car/review...

1th, The Camaro Tail Lights.  Would have preferred something different.  However I've gotten used to them, like I've gotten used to the rest of the angular Booty.

2st, You all skipped a car in the 'where did this come from'.  Sad to say but if you look at the roofline back to the tail it's almost pure GTR.  I don't have photoshop & suck at blocking out pictures, but someone here can do it.

3nd, I. LOVE. THIS. CAR.  Other than the tail lights there's not a thing I don't like about it!  I so hope it's coming to the D.C. Auto Show on Feb 1nd..!  Can't wait for the chance to throw a more powerful tune on the engine...just to see how the rest handles.  ZR-1 is my target.

4rd, 4rd sucks.  Go chevy. :P

5nd, While I'm thinking it may be difficult to do a TuTu tonight (PS store updates when?) I'm totally going to be on the track in several of these, the way I drive Miuras now.  And in case anyone was checking I have a combined 23k+ miles on my Miuras right now.

6st, Youse guys rock.

7rd, this was my 700rd post!  That's timing.

The online service will go offline at 3:00pm EST and return at 5:00pm EST, so as of this post we have about 2 more hours to wait before we can go to the store and DL the new STINGRAY.

Please adjust for timezones accordingly.

That is all.

Take a brand new Corvette to a demolition derby?  I could be persuaded.

I might even BUY you one (virtually, of course, LOL)

And Who doesn't want to try out the stress levels of the New Vette anyways?

After all, over a 1G skid pad turning radius?  Makes me drunk thinking about it.

I might be misunderstanding this, but don't a lot of cars pop a G on the skid pad?  My car is ten years old and it does it.  The Z06 and the ZR1 do it.  I think even one of the shitty new Rustangs does it.  I guess the point is the STANDARD Corvette now does it???  Or, am I missing something?
