Guitars are one of those things that I usually agree that you get what you pay for. PRS is definitely proof of that. That and the nice Alvarez acoustic I have.

Well and guitars, if they are well built and maintained will last an extremely long time, unless you tour with them.

I was driving to work today and had a very nice C6 Grand Sport next to me. It was cammed with long tubes. It made my car sound quiet. Now I want a vette or to at least do heads/cam to mine.

I was so jealous.

hopefully this group has had a chance to see the 2017 ZL1 Ring video. Man it put a whoopin on that track.

I think there is a second video by GM, with someone riding in the passenger seat. Of course it wasn't released because the guy was screaming like a little girl the whole time the A10 was hammering through the gears.

Saw that video and that car hauled a$$, my god with a top speed of 181mph on the back stretch. And to top it off he was paddle shifting. Will sell myself to be a slave to get that car.

I had to watch it after you said something. The car sounds amazing and beat the Z/28 lap time too. I really wonder what the gen 6 Z/28 will do.

I don't believe he was paddle shifting, I think he was letting that A10 work it's a$$ off.

The closest car to the time it ran, is still $50k more. Talk about GM getting nasty with the competition, more of a smack in the face with a "Take that B$tch".

The Ford guys are like "damn it, they are out their killing it at the Ring, and we are still stuck on killing spectators".

Saw the video, that ZL1 is awesome. The A10 was looking very impressive.

Yes, and it's amazing how a car that costs under $100k can SLAY quarter million dollar cars.
