I've had my 82 for less than a year. Thing is I drive my truck 99% of the time. You know how other drivers always seem to tick us off as much i we do to them sometimes i guess. So whenever i get the Vette out, I guess my driving habits treat it like the truck. Couple nights ago , I'm on my way home. I'm at an intersection in a left turn lane. I have the arrow and this moron in front of me is screwing around waiting to pull a U Turn. That light was starting to turn and I just punched it and went around him . I'm guessing I left 20ft of rubber and dam near went sideways. That 350 does have some power if you need it.
