Who the hell asked you that? Please tell me it was a salesperson. I had a subaru manager tell me that a stock STI will blow away a C6.

You must have been tempted to reply..."yes, it's a V-6 and it'll kick your Camaro's ***...want to race?" I have an older brother similar to yours apparently. [Reminds me of the current commercial with the younger brother who is tormented by the older brother's "That's mine." comments...until the last frame when He turns the tables when his brother tries to open a car's door..."That's MINE!"]

Wonder if these STI guys realize for the same money they can buy a Camaro 2SS...

One of my best friends has an STI. Believe it or not he doesn't care. He would legitimately rather have an STI than an SS. It seems crazy to me especially after riding in his car lol.

So i said if Corvettes are $0.10 a dozen, then mustangs are only about $0.0002 per dozen! Not even 1 cent!

Is your comment the reason that the guy is now your "old boss"?

That's a good one!

My Z06 gets 33 mpg. on the level, at 80 mph. The problem is that I can only rarely go 80 (sustained) on a road trip.

I had a guy, after looking at my other cars, boat, and motorcycle trike, and with a smug look said, "Boy, I sure would hate to have your payments!"
I just calmly looked at him and replied, "They each came with one payment?"
He didn't say much else after that.

Here is something that pisses me off. Im 29 and have been married for a year. So I keep getting the "cant put a car seat in a corvette". This is from people who know I have an suv as a daily. Just hate when people make the assumption I can't afford a kid and a corvette. Am I being too sensitive?

My Z06 came with an attachment point behind the seat for a child seat.

If I ever have any grandbabies, I'll let you know how it works!

I've used that.. And guess what, the passenger seat Air Bag is automatically turned off for anything less than 75lbs. in the seat. Crazy for GM to think that you can put a kid in a corvette.

I did put my Grandnephew in his carseat (he was 6 the first time) in my vert, a couple of times. I just opened the glovebox and turned the airbag off.

Needless to say, he had a blast!
