Visited the Darkside....I'm Baaacckkk!

[KENS96M6]

Welcome back. I look foward to seeing your new toy in person. Glad the sale went well on the Z06. It was a great looking car. You will love the new ride. Looks great!

If the total production numbers of the Shelby are really more than that of the Z06, the frequency of sightings does not support that fact. At least not in the New York City metro. Including mine, I've seen five GT500es in the six months that I've owned mine. I can't say exactly how many Z06es I've seen, but it has been at least twice that many and probably more than that. Vettes in total? I've probably encountered somewhere on the order of 17,543 in 2013.

As someone who also lives in the New York City metro area, I 100% agree with you. The C6 was amazing to look at when they first debuted, but the streets are so saturated with them here that I give them the same attention now as I would a Honda Civic. Awesome car, no doubt, but a dime a dozen here. That's one of the reasons why I swayed away from C7 (inevitable saturation will occur) and went with my longtime Shelby love instead.

Dude, I literally laughed out loud reading this. Yeah, those guys were doing some serious hatin' over there. A few were cool and gave props, but geesh, some of those guys act like there's no point in driving any other car since the C6Z is out. I repeated many times that I was coming in peace and just sharing my new purchase. I guess leaving the mighty C6Z for a lowly GT500 was as the equivalent to bitch slapping their mommas or something. No love lost for the Z though. It's a great car and no one hardly ever denies that. I held back because I knew the mods would quickly slap my hand if the thread got too rowdy. Also, I did get a little fed up of hearing about popped motors from exhaust valves though and that was a factor in my decision. Kinda sucks GM technically never acknowledged that after all these years.

Glad you got a few chortles at the expense of Rogain and his crew of Corvegetables.

No doubt, the Z06 is an incredible performer; I loved every minute of owning one. The sad thing is what the few unsavory Vettetards do to the Z06 collective. I have a lot of friends over on Z06Vette.com whom I hold in extremely high regard. Great bunch of dudes. Corvetteboredom.com is a different dynamic entirely. There are way too many floaters in the bowl over there.

If we dare to apply a dose a of Freudianism, the Vette, for whatever reason, seems to attract a subset of owners who interweave their vastly effeminate egos with ownership of Zora Duntov's baby. Hence, the reason you experience such gynic sensitivity when you leave the fraternity or extol the virtues of a competitor, even when the competitor is not, in an apples to apple sense, a competitor at all. You exhibited unforgivable audaucity by showing up on the home turf of Posse Comitatus Z06 and uttering one of their seven dirty words: Moose-Schtong!

Apparently, Rogain, with a Boss and KR in his garage, suffered a badly wounded scrote over your decision to abandon the Z06 to slum it in a Shelby. I wonder what those in his life to whom he has sworn allegiance think when he disappears to the garage for hours at a time with a bottle of Cialis tightly fisted in his milking hand. I actually worry about that dude. Where the Z06 is concerned, he seems a high risk candidate for a life-threatening priapism.

Another laughable notion, perpetuated by Lawdork, I believe, was that you had regressed in performance going from a Z06 to a Shelby. What that addle-brained ambulance chaser can't seem to latch onto is that performance is a subjective measure based on application. Sure, if you and F. Lee Bailey were to rip ten laps around Laguna Seca, my money would be on Barrister Buffoon in his Z06. On the merit of traction alone, I might even have to give the edge to the Z06 in a 1320 sprint (assuming equal traction, though, I would flip that bet). However, put a stock C6Z and a stock Shelby next to each other from 60-160, in a test to determine nothing more than which sled has the larger almond pouch, and asserting a downgrade in performance is, I fear, akin to saying that Spice Williams-Crosby is hotter than Megan Fox. My skrilla is on the Shelby and I'm throwing Megan Fox the stones. Something tells me Lawdork chooses Spice to ride with and on him.

You know, Blown, you starting that thread on Corvetteboredom is really no different from a Viper owner creating a thread on, say, Viper Alley sharing news of his departure from a Viper for a Z06. No doubt, the OP would take his lumps on that site for making that change. The difference is, there are quite a few highly evolved specimens over on VA who are creative, witty, and funny as shite in their ribbings of whomever is the target of the day. By contrast, the blank minds over on Corvetteboredom are about as entertaining as watching a dog prolapse out sausage links of ill-advisedly consumed tissues. I do, however, find a distinctly mordant humor in the magnitude of Vettetardation on that site; in this case pathetic and lame is actually funny. The skill they display in trash talking reminds me of a lot of Napoleon Dynamite piloting Pedro's bike off a sweet jump:

@ Smackiavelli. How come you don't post more around these parts?

That shit is just plain entertaining.

Unfortunately, buddy, the pursuits of life are many and the hours are few. I join the fray when I can. I will try to be more frequent in my contributions of entertainment to the site. Lead me to the threads where someone could use a verbal JDAM lobbed into their lap. :beer:

Smart man. The number of Corvairs (or is it Corvettes?) roaming the Tri-state area is utterly staggering. I travel a block from my house and I've already spotted 17 of them, whether they are sitting in a driveway receiving gentle strokes of Zaino by a beaming retiree, or backing out of a garage, throwing a 5,000 RPM rev at intervals of every six inches traveled in reverse. Of course, deserving mention, and one of my personal favorites, is the Z06 being loaded with groceries at Whole Foods by the wife of a plastic surgeon (these women are easy to identify as the angulation of their face is typically more aerodynamic than their Vette).

I wouldn't hesitate to own another Z06, and I may soon again. This time, though, I'll stick to driving it at 3:00 in the morning, when I have a better than average shot at avoiding 100 Vette waves on a fifteen minute drive.

You definitely should post more. You hit the Vette driver stereotypes dead on. Not that is it's hard to do though.

You hit the nail on the head on all accounts. Can't even call them stereotypes when it's true. And seriously, you need to post more often. Love reading your posts.
