    Got 30% off with that but it looks like I will be switching to another because even with a spotless driving record and 1-$200 comp claim in the last 20 years they just keep raising the rates.

    Yeah, don't take rates personal, they move rates around all the time.

    Graves, what is a 392?

    Now that IS funny. 392 replaced the 354 back before I was born. the 392 was the beginning of hemi-head domination in top fuel. Since it was always a revered engine that pre dated the 426 they brought back the nostalgia for us old farts.

    Somebody with more money than sense tried to get sporty with an unfamiliar muscle car and meets a cottonwood tree. Sounds about like the conclusion I would expect.

    I figured it was a revolver that only Hoser would be familiar with.

    Z06 Corvette probably has a better center of gravity for better cornering.

    Yup Im going to ridicule the driver because

    I'm perfect
    I would never make that mistake
    I know how to drive
    I once was told by a guy that said he was a pro how too
    He just a rich ass hole that doesn't apprieciate anything.


    The comments on that link kill me. Whatever happened unless he admits something happened. No one was hurt yet the state still charged him with are less driving. The state and the people that ridicule him disgust me.

    700 HP isnt all that fast anymore, especially when you only put it to two wheels.

    I went around that corner last night for giggles. I feel it is safe to say it is pretty stupid to take that corner over 45 or so unless you KNOW what you are doing. Skid marks clearly show more than 45, as does the front end of the car. The corner is clearly marked with sharp turn signs.

    Playing the rolling start chase game on the highway is pretty dangerous. As most of you already know, most of the highways here in Colorado are pretty bumpy anyway. Those annoying bumps and humps at 75 MPH can be very dangerous at 120+ MPH. You also have the factor of not being able to effectively change lanes or drive defensively when the normal traffic changes lanes or flips out because they are getting passed at twice their speed.

    Once again, with that much power on tap sound judgement needs to be used when you want to unleash the beast.

    The older I get the less I drive my GTO because I know its inherent potential for doing damage to myself, others, insurance, or whatever else if I drive it like a donkey. I am actually thinking of selling it...... Anyone interested in buying it???
