You go JJ! For it's worth, I don't believe anyone meant any harm. We all, at least those who can keep it real, struggle in one way or another. And FWIW, I'll take a strong faith (in Him) over perceived intellect anyday .

GB!

The C6Z06 I don't remember any tops flying off any others, or power enough to snap any power trains from any other Zs
P.S I was talking about super cars not cars. Vette-oholic. The only thing snaping on the earlier Zs was the dollar bills on the counter not your neck!

I'm fine with your grammar issues... no prob... however, history says the earlier Z's had much the same powertrain issues as the new ones and I think that may be why some people wonder why GM didn't address it.

I'm fine with my Americam made products. The wife has had BMW and Audi's for her past two cars. Both require/d more service than any of the American vehicles I drive....

I bet it could mix some serious paint though!!!!

Shouldn't you formulate the thought before putting it down on paper?

Isn't it amazing how so many posts degenerate into other issues?
So, I'm adding my 2 cents worth of nonsense.

The grammar is actually quite good, but sentence structure, punctuation, and spelling could use some improvement.

How about: offending, grammar, in, belittle, won't, I'll, and grammar.

As for the theology lesson, I think the only standard that will matter is faith in the One that sits on the throne of judgment. I don't think poking some fun at a fellow Corvette owner about his English is going to be too important!

Alrighty then preacherman. Lets keep the religion out of our C6Z06 discussion. It has absolutely no place here. Take it to the off topic section. I could care less about that crap. I have also found that usually the ones that are pushing it , are usually ones that are trying to make up for things they have done in their lives, that they feel guilty about. Not all, but most fit into that category. There, now my preaching is done. BTW. we are not that concerned about grammar, as long as we can translate the meaning.

Religion and politics have their respective environments for discussion. They are potentially contentious subjects that create emotionalism and heated debate. These highly personal and sensitive issues are best left out of discussions about cars.

Hi-jacking threads to proselytize shows disrespect for others.

This is perfectly ok for the forum. It all started by the torque managment thread, stated that G.M restricted the power from 06 to 07. Then a member stated that the viper didn't need it becouse it was so much better. When its not.

Morning Commentary, Sunday, 12/18/05.
Subject: Ben Stein

Weather you believe or not, is immaterial, this makes a lot of sense.

If they know of him at all, many folks think Ben Stein is just a quirky
actor/comedian who talks in a monotone. He's also a very intelligent
attorney who knows how to put ideas and words together in such a way as to
sway juries and make people think clearly.

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday
________________________________________ ____

Herewith at this happy time of year, a few confessions from my beating
heart: I have no freaking clue who Nick and Jessica are. I see them on the
cover of People and Us constantly when I am buying my dog biscuits and kitty
litter. I often ask the checkers at the grocery stores. They never know who
Nick and Jessica are either. Who are they? Will it change my life if I know
who they are and why they have broken up? Why are they so important?


I don't know who Lindsay Lohan is either, and I do not care at all about Tom
Cruise's wife.

Am I going to be called before a Senate committee and asked if I am a
subversive? Maybe, but I just have no clue who Nick and Jessica are.

If this is what it means to be no longer young. It's not so bad.

Next confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not
bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up,
bejeweled trees - Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel
discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't
think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact,
I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating
this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger
scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If
people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few
hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think
Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people
who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I
have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly
atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution, and I don't like it
being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we
should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we
understand Him?

I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.

But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came
from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a
little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's
intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson
asked her "How could God let something like this Happen?" (regarding
Katrina)

Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I
believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've
been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and
to get out of our lives.

And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can
we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He
leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I
think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body
found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we
said OK.

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school . the Bible says
thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as
yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they
misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might
damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an
expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they
don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill
strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.
I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the
world's going to hell.

Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible
says.

Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire
but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice
about sharing.

Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through
cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and
workplace.

Are you laughing?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on
your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they
will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than
what God thinks of us.

Sorry, meant to add this to my post. I don't mean or want to create a "debate" just simply offering food for thought. We all know where we stand with our maker.

Be sensible, be safe, and be courteous

Ps - no response necessary

All right I give up! Last thing to say two sad one glad.
1. my spelling
2. my typing
3. one glad. To think I had 80,000 grand in my pocket to pay m.s.r.p. for my 07Z06 sums it up!
P.S and HIM to thank for it!

GM has been playing with the Vette for a whole lot longer than Dodge has been playing with the Viper, try since 1953. There will always be bugs in a redesigned car. Once they get it perfect they start over with another redesign.
