    I raced a Carrera GT this morning

    FikseGTS, I'm sure that thing is faster, but every dog has his day. What was so impressive was the lateral push it had. My hood comes up and his car stayed flat like an Indy racer. Just seeing it was incredible. I think he was "all out" but if not it was really funny the look , or double take on...

    I raced a Carrera GT this morning

    Guys all I can say is I will always remember it. I see Vette's all the time and maybe a Viper or two in the last year, but never a Carrera GT, and get to street race it, never in my wildest dreams would I have ever even thought about it going out Saturday morning. It ain't no Boxer by any...

    I raced a Carrera GT this morning

    Travis you are right....why would a stock SRT-10 for 85K even have a chance against a 440k Carrera. All I can say is I was proud of the way the "stock SRT-10" held it's own. It was not blown away as I'm sure you or the Carrera guy expected it to be. He looked back and I was still there and about...

    I raced a Carrera GT this morning

    The Race: Finally, (East Coast) the day is over and I keep re-thinking the race, he was about 1-1/4 car lengths ahead of me when we took off and about 1000 ft later it was about the same distance because he looked back at me when he turned into MacDonalds. I can still remember his face as having...

    I raced a Carrera GT this morning

    Chuck, it was in front of Sam's, you know where that is. And Cops, Ahhhh...yes I know but but the excitement was there and I could not turn the chance down. I just wish I had a camera. I can only image what the folks behind us were thinking.... two nuts in awesome black cars getting it on over...

    I raced a Carrera GT this morning

    It was like I was on another planet....In Tampa I was on Dale Mabry Hwy about 7:30 am this morning and along side comes the awesome black space ship looking thing w/ the top down and a big fin on the back. I saw the Carrera GT emblem on the back and two big humps in the engine compartment. He...

    I am really starting to HATE my viper

    Sorry you are having problems, you can test the lemon law like I did here in Florida a few years back. I had a 1995 Corvette new off the floor from a local dealer here in Tampa. The thing was in the shop over 27 times and had under 4k miles on it. After meeting with the all the Chevy reps and...

    Commemorative Edition Stripes???

    Paul, If you do the stripes pls post a picture. I've been thinking about doing it too. The only thing I have found here is the center grille you can't bend the stripes as with the commemorative edition which the stripe covers the center part of the grille. At least no one here in Tampa says they...

    Autoweek on Coupe

    Good job SnakeEye.....Terminator comments seems to be off a bit. Look at it this way,it took Chevy 10 years to best the Viper(though not proven yet)in the speed department. The "Wow" factor they still are way behind. Two cars off the lot, same driver, same track and at the same time of day.

    Re: This Looks Familiar....(the coupe\'s gas cap) Nice car.....but every time I look at this picture all I can think about is the shiny new black toaster we have in the kitchen that has a cord coming out of the chrome receptable in the back of it. Also, where you put the bread is brushed chrome...

    ZO6-SRT-10 - Exotic or Sports car

    Well said Dan..... I can drive my '03 Z06 and now and then someone will turn a head or two but driving the Beast is a total different story......it's different and that's Exotic. You can say the same thing if you got a good looking girl hanging on your arm if she's a "looker" she's Exotic!!
