"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

It would still take a vette
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Mercedes AMG E55 is faster than both w/ its 469 hp...lol

CLK 650, now that will rape just about anything on the highway when it is around.

I agree with Vincent!

C6 vette vs. SRT-10 in the straight line till 100, driver's race, anywhere else the C6 vette will school the V-10 Truck...

I've pretty much owned BMW's and Corvettes exclusively for the last several years.

Both cars are highly rated for good reason.

The Viper is a good car, but it doesn't have active handling, its interior gets too hot, and it rides like a truck.

Give me a C6 or a Z06 anyday over a Viper.

Best bang for the buck: Corvette
Best Daily Driver: BMW
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You obviously know very little about both vehicles. Just because its 500 hp v-10 5100lb truck does not mean it would beat a 400hp 3200lb car.

Look at the specs for both vehicles.

Though they may be priced the same, I'd rather get the vette any day of the week :cool:
The 6th gen Z06 is going to come in at around 2800 lbs. with some fiber carbon body parts,and will be putting out 500 HP and 500 ft. lbs. of torque.

World class car at about 1/3rd of the price.

Sweet.

I haven't heard about them using carbon fiber but I haven't been reading up about much lately. I would have heard about it from another forum I view though. I highly doubt they'd switch from fiberglass which they've used on every single car.

Plus switching from fiberglass to carbon fiber MIGHT save you 100 lbs. So I doubt 2800 lbs will ever happen.

Or you could look up 0-60, 0-100, 1/4 mile, 0-60-0, etc, for them and still see that I'm right.
