I decided not to tailgate him when the light turned green (which I dislike), but I decided to stay on him...and he was trying to show off by going 55 mph thru a residential zone. I found it quite easy to keep up with him. Who knew. Sadly, he deviated from my course - I would have enjoyed his antics on the highway.

One thing that happens when you own these cars is the relentless obsession of other idiots trying to make stupid driving decisions and trying to race you. It happens quite often around here.

So what has happened to you in your 991 recently?
You stated the problem right here. I am willing to bet you were crawling along at a snails pace and someone passed you (which you think is getting "cut off").

Is this what happened? Please define cut off...

Sunroof in glass. But that makes my car $125k with 5% off with the other options I have now. I got my car for $101k. I feel good that I saved about $20k.

Cut off was - guy takes off, there's a car parked in the expiring lane, he jerks the wheel to the left and acts all aggressive about his bad-*** machine. ha!! A stupid maneuver considering the upcoming light was red and remained red. Actually I had just pulled out of a shopping center and driven 1 block. Then this person accels up to 55 mph driving like a moron. You can't fix stupid.

Ugly...? Maybe.

Off topic? Yes, but it's your thread.

I like the C7 - a LOT!

It is a radical departure from Corvettes from the past. It is a wonderful evolution of new technology. It is no Tesla S, but I'm quite taken by the new C7. When discussing on another forum - a 450HP car weighing less than 3500lbs, 7sp manual, with phenomenal aerodynamics and handling capabilities, equipped standard with brake/trans/+ coolers, with the digital displays for approximately mid-$50's, I've learned, is quite a deal.

The ONLY thing I don't like about it is the front lip. Aftermarket can 'resolve' this, or possibly the Z06 equivalent (whatever it is called). I think the wife is on board with the possibility of adding one (I just added another car this week, so I have to wait a year or two to do this again), and I think the next higher model is going to be difficult to pass up. I still admire the outgoing C6Z06, I can't imagine what the new equivalent will be like.

I did like the outgoing Z06, I have to admit.

There is a reason I have been to the Porsche dealer 2x since they announced the C7. I will probably keep my C6Z, but I want to add a 911S to the garage.

Well, all I have to say is from a $$$ perspective:


C7 Vette + BMW 335i = 911S loaded

It is a curse and a responsibility. Every insecure person wants to race you... I just ignore them.

I've been noticing a lot of people get out of my way in the left lane when they see me coming. The never did that when I had my Mercedes. Actually, its quite nice . . .
