Default Great description of Corvettes in general

I'm reading an article on the new C6 and while the journalist was cruising around in the car he said something to the effect and I paraphrase:

"Cruising around in a Corvette always makes you feel like you are waiting for something to happen; like an airplane taxiing down the runway."

That's so true, like driving a loaded gun.

What you are waiting for is the lack of quality to catch up with you

I feel the same way about the STi...

Especially since the E-Throttle is calibrated quite aggresively. The STi is one boost hungry car.

Corey - is he the one with nitrous (100 shot, I think) that was struggling for traction at that auto-x I attended? I seem to remember that owner being a white guy, though....
