LOL I know what you mean. Everyday I drive my work truck around (1996 Chevy 2500 ext. Cab, long box, HUGE solid steel topper and loaded with junk) and then get in the Type-S.
It's really crazy.

i think i understand what you're saying... but would you explain a little bit more... only because I watched a top gear video on youtube on the new C6 corvette, and they did a 5th gear take-off and took it to like 163 or something like that, and raced burning gasoline... and won. The new vette is sick... a 7L V8...

 

really thats pretty sweet. racing a burning flame. I think its actually to a certain mph, its just quicker because of the gearing and what not.
i know, 7L V8 is insane.

 

^^ so is the mileage

 

i let my gf drive the S from time to time
she says she doesn't want to forget how to drive standard

please explain

 

i read it in a magazine. the tc in top gear was faster then a corvette in top gear. it just pulled on it more, im not sure of what mph it was at and when it stopped.

 

thats interesting, the gear ratio probably played a part in that

 

yeah thats what i said up there ^^
