now some of you will mention the viper...which is a very fine car..and it corners very well too...and i absolutely love it..so no doubts there. but the vette..i dont think so..i remember reading an article about alistair mcrae..where he was fond of the vette till he drove one that is.

just looking for people's opinions...dont want it to be a flame thread.
Your knowledge of cars in general is about as lacking as your geo-political knowledge.

You mentioned wisdom in an earlier post - sometimes the wise thing to do is keep quiet, thereby leaving people guessing about your level of intelligence - instead of actually saying something and removing all doubt.
