C8 Corvette Reveal

I think you misspelled unions. When Toyota opened the plant here to build the Tundra, non, union, people lost their shit because STARTING wage for somebody off the street with zero skills was $22/hr. Seems pretty good to me for what they do, granted I’ve never worked an assembly line and I’m sure there are some highly skilled people but for Joe Blow to walk in and bitch about $22/hr...c’mon man!

I think it looks awesome and the more I see it the more I like it. I’m thinking wait until the initial circle jerk is over then pick up a Grand Sport when they come back down to sticker. There will be plenty of options to take it to eleventy billion hp if you want.

 

Some people want this to fail so bad it doesn't matter what GM does.

 

In fairness, that is a valid point. I’ve never owned a Ford or Dodge, and it is very likely that the problems I had with GMs could have been even worse in one of those.

I didn’t have any problems with electronics, or body panels falling off, nothing like that. I just kept blowing up engines and transmissions.

 

Well..then the problem likely lies between the seat and the steering wheel or in this case sits there.

 

How big was that trailer again?

 

Yeah, I think there was some user error involved. How many Escalades are pulling huge trailers down the highway at full throttle?

 

I'm aghast !!

 

Fuckers.

 

If they didn’t want it revving at 5k, or it couldn’t handle being ran at 5k, then they should have put a red limiter on it.

If I have the ability to make the truck do it, then the truck should be able to take it.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

 

Talk about your durability test.

 

Just remember, whatever you have is great and whatever your buddy or someone else has is a piece of junk.

 

You couldn’t handle a straight steering column!

 

They can and do rev to 5k all day long. Just doesn't last as many days as one doing it at 3k.

 

I've only heard one other person in my life who called it that, and she would likely fall for the "blinker fluid" prank every day of the week.

Praying it was a typo.....

 

You must be new here.

 

Not new, but if Livengood has been trolling Broome with this for years it would be epic......

 

Not knowing the “red limiter” sure doesn’t bode well for that claim. Jus sayin.

 

Haha, fair enough......sounds like another gixxer moment that I must have missed the boat on.

 

like 5 years worth of boats

 

Surely you know what color the best power band is?
