<VV> A Real Blast WAS DULL Cars

[Ken Pepke]

Not too good a guess on your part, Roy.  Apparently you have missed the point.  A C6 Corvette is a BLAST when you turn OFF the traction control and launch control and challenge yourself to do better than the computer.  It is sort of like the difference between flying a toy plane on a string and 'dog fighting' toy planes in free flight.  If gas mileage is a factor one might as well kick back in the old Lazy-Boy.

At least they think so until they come up against an old mussel car with modern sticky tires. No just stomping on the gas to go with the old timers; it takes some skill with the clutch to keep from going up in smoke! The raw power of all that big block torque punching you back in the seat ... now THAT is a REAL blast!

While I will admit the "punch in the back" from a friends 1967 Corvette with an L88 was truly awesome, today's new cars are a better all round hot rod than the vintage iron. New car have torque, speed, handle and stop well and they get MUCH BETTER fuel mileage.
