"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It would still take a vette
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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 Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
