My guess is that my non-British sports car accelerates about as fast as your 'vette, and that you have 10-15 mph top end on me. Maybe, if your valve train can actually take it. I know my non-Japanese Italian motorcycle will out-accelerate your 'vette on the straights and in the right driver's hands (not mine, to be sure), blow you right off any real sports car racing track. I know that because a model similar to what I have has been raced against Ferrari's and Lamborghini's and has come out on top...with a pro motorcycle racer doing the driving. Yeah, sure. You sure can cover up your lies well, or at least you try hard. If you want to save face, post a picture of it in front of your new boat with the twin diesels..... Hey! He has a "non-British sports car" and a "non-Japanese Italian motorcycle"! Don't you dare make fun of him! LOL! And you have a boat and car I wouldn't even consider owning.

I'm getting 22 mpg around town and nearly 27 on the highway. Of course, it only weighs 3200 lbs and it's easy to push through the air. You just can't compare these big, heavy, blunt SUVs to cars. Apples and oranges. 'Vettes don't make very good prime movers of 5th wheel trailers. But, they are cute little buggers. If I could fit in one, I'd have a Mazda Miata, or whatever they're called now. |
