No offense to C6 owners but when did this cease to be an MB forum?

I thought this was a Benz Forum too.

I too have noticed a bunch of young
BMW "M owners" and the "fans of fiberglass" using
this forum more and more. Poor lost souls.
Dont own a MBZ but camp here. Go figure.

Or if you used your eyes to read instead of just blurting the 1st thing that pops into your head, you'd realize most of us are long time members & have owned Mercedes before hence the membership.

We love all kinds of cars, are you saying were not welcome here unless all we do is comment on Mercedes? Sorry not gonna happen If everyone drove the same car there would be little to talk about.

Enjoy your little world

Agreed. I'm glad we have posts of other fast cars in the Kills section. The forum is not only for MB owners (most do have or have owned a MB, but its not a requirement). I don't own a Vette now, but I visit the CF ~once/month. Many of them are pretty cool IMO and enjoy many different makes. There are always clowns in every group (I've had my RX-7 called, "jap crap" by Vette guys, or my SLK, "a girl's car", etc). One can always retort & discuss the finer build quality of a Chevy, but its usually the minority of people that have such a narrow perspective of sports cars.

So, I say be glad we have some guys with Vettes, BMWs, etc. At the end of the day, its just a car.

A kill section like this one here, you can make yourself feel better by infiltrating there forum

They actually have quite a few Vette v. AMG w/lots of praise going to AMG at least from the folks in the know.
As well as a plethora of humerous kills, one that comes to mind was a guy in a Mustang complaining about a new C6 racing by him & peppering his face w/tiny rocks (his front window was down) as he blew by him

Thanks! It will have the Q44 comp rims which should create a nice off set. The car will be going straight to Carvaggio for GT seats (like the ones on the GT-3), steering wheel. The seats, steering wheel, ebrake, shifter, center console will be all done in Atomic Oranage stiching.

Just these simple upgrades makes the interior look so much nicer. PM me your email and I will forward the last car John just finished with these upgrades.

Yeah, that is my one turnoff about the Z06: the interior quality. However, the drivetrain does an excellent job of overcompensating for some plastic trim. If I ever pick up a Z06 as a purely fun car, I'll be sure to replace the entire interior.

As for posting here, this is a forum: anyone with intelligent and fun-minded comments are to be welcomed. Enzo or model car, if you have an appreciation for cars and are not a douchebag, you should feel free to post without being put down.

The seat work isn't the best, the factory leather looks a little better.....
