Default You gotta check out this HATER

I was watching corvette racing and ZR 1 clips and ran across this. I bet this kid is 20 yrs old. Read the more info section to the right. He thinks Camrys and Accords cost 55 thousand dollars. Somebody sounds broke and JEALOUS.

Some people have too much time on their hands ... While most of what he said is complete bs, I would not turn down the oppurtunity to drive a Lambo or Ferrari.

Reliability issues would keep me from having an "exotic" and the maintenance is outrageous. I ahve heard the motors need constant tuning and they are only good for 40 or 50 thousand miles. Can you imagine driving that car and it breaking down ? It may take weeks to get it fixed.

Either he really wants our cars or he must hates someone that has one? I am a car man and I appreciate all kinds of sports, luxury, and exotic cars.

It almost seems like this was a sarcastic video by a vette owner trying to parody people who drive exotic cars.

Even if I had a garage full of lambos and ferraris, etc. I would think he was a *****.

who ever said the vette was an exotic? Its not, but it is as fast or faster than almost every one of those while costing $45-70k and being more reliable and easier to drive...

The kid's pretty pathetic of a car-guy if he can't appreciate all cars and looks at things in such black and white perspectives, so don't get too riled up about it.

in his "definition" of exotic, it says must be mid engine, but then he says a ferrari 599 is a true exotic.... I love hypocrites talking **** that dont know what there talking about. I also love the pics of the elises', the worlds nicest go kart. Maybachs and flying spur those must be real exotics too. Not only does vette win the race, but its an easy way to get road head from strangers

Don't pay any attention to horse poop unless you step it.

A Ferrari F-599? When will the dreaming stop and reality set in for this kid? How many ZR1's can you buy with that kind of money and still have $$ left over???

Just another jealous dip-**** who thinks you have to spend a fortune to get performance.. Exotics are cool... but it's the cost that makes them rare... Kudos to GM for making the corvette affordable and giving us exotic performance..

A lot of work to give the answer to a rhetorical question no one seemed to ask:

"Is the Corvette 'exotic'?"

"Uh, no."

"Is it a sky scraper?"

"No."

"Is it a flavor of ice cream?"

"no."

"So, there."

"Yeah. Look, could I get my two minutes back, please?"

With the anticipated dealership premium to be charged for the ZR1...I think that remains to be seen.

I agree to give the guy a break but "stupid SOB"? Quite possibly but he's just expressing his opinion. It doesn't have to be an educated one nor a popular one. So he doesn't like Corvettes...that's fine with me...it's no big deal. I'm sure he'll be much happier driving his Enzo.

I'm happy with my Corvette.
