3) I also understand that you are on the C5 forum, so your opinions demonstrate the feelings of many others on here, but man....you have done NOTHING but nit pick, bash, and demean the car for as long as I can remember reading your posts.

4) If the GT500 came out without any of the stuff you're bashing, you'd likely proceed to call the car 'uncivilized' or 'ill-mannered'

5) We get it, it's a lose-lose no matter what the car does, but take a second to step back and think about the stuff you type.
1) It is a sad state of affairs when interlopers from Brand F feel compelled to invade a private site dedicated to the enjoyment of a DIRECT COMPETITOR, wave their flag and spread spurious undocumented drivel and fanboy fantasies about a ridiculously overpowered, underengineered weapon that is band-aided by electronics to perform in a civilized manner for 90% of its buyers...while, apparently, the other 10% will become garage (cave?) dwellers. Nannies, BTW, is a widely used term to describe electronic auto aids...right?

2) Correct...except, in most areas of performance driving, true "drivers" spurn them. Of course the video gamers of today know nothing else...but a GT500 ain't a "game", pal. It's a grossly overpowered weapon that, without said nannies, would be rendered to the scrapheap by the insurance industry. This is NOT a Formula 1-derived clone, but a clown...

3) See 1) above and, BTW, if you are finally unable to properly defend this contraption (the result of non-perscribed pharmacology), you're not much of a debater. You see, in debates you ought to be able to defend EITHER side, successfully. Invite me over to the SVT Forum and perhaps I'll share an idea or two of where the Camaro may enjoy a shortcoming or two...

4) See 2) above... Without nannies, she'd be laughed of the street-road-track...56/44, 662 hp, 265/285s...JOKE! Whoever came up with this should write Jay Leno's monologue...(sorry, Jay!)

5) A second? Hell, I thought about this for nearly a minute...

When all else fails, attack the person. Being an Election Year, you have a bright-shiny near-term future...full of venom, but hollow of facts, just like the real-world test results will show for this 5.77 lb/hp heap...

Wanna REAL 'Stang? Put a Coyote'd 5.8 mit NO blower, makin' 500+ hp, and slap that tire tickler is a BOSS finally deserving of that name...and then put Parnelli behind the wheel to show you gameboy Dearborn dandies how to drive a car, "unaided"...

Back to the Barcalounger...
