I may have a bit of that since I'm short and somewhat of an overachiever, but I truly don't know...and neither do you. Sweeping generalizations again show the capacity and quality of your thought.

I will race anything that is closely matched to me. That means I stay away from things like Vipers, Lotas, and the one Vector that I've been beside. Some people bye there car to go fast in a straight line, others to go around corners, and some to even go off the roads.

Yup... all the time. I used to race anyone... imports, domestics, old ladies in k-cars. Nowadays, I race anyone who is willing... it's been hard to get street races since the cam swap.

P.S. I'm probably going to reply to a bunch of posts back to back, so if you already know you won't like my opinions move on to a different thread or scroll down a whole big bunch.

I'm confused... at this point in the thread you act like a Camaro is beneath you, later on you say that you wouldn't race one because you know you'll get your ass handed to you. If you beat one, you should be freaking ecstatic. Which is it... are we beneath you (to the point where if you won you wouldn't care, because it's a... Camaro) or are you backing down because of the disadvantage the S2K is at in a street race?

You name wouldn't be Van Winkle would it? Put this line to "ice, ice baby" and it kinda sounds good.

I hope this comes across the internet as funny as it is in my head. Either way, I love the old Conquests and Starions... sorry you had a bad experience with all those scary muscle car guys. Still no reason to make blanket statements though, if I did that I'd have to beat the living sh*t out of my roommate for owning an S2K after reading your posts.

Can't... keep... mouth... shut....

405 HP out of the new ZO6, 340ish for a "regualar" f-body, all getting mid 20s as far as mpg. I wish GM would wake up and catch the bandwagon, these ancient motors really suck. BTW, read up on the Trailblazer and the Envoy. IMHO, the most sophisticated motor in any car today sits between the fenders of a GM. Even if you don't agree... that inline 6 blows your "gm has not kept up with the times" comment up in smoke. Shizon took care of the rest of you statement so I'll move on.

jschmidt to me "you have much to learn young grasshopper."

I am truly humbled, I thought I had a wealth of useless knowledge but am in awe of jschmidt!
