Pete, I'm not certain they're all still stock after all these years. There's a black one around the corner, sitting way too high on massive chrome American Racing daisies and generic 50-series RWL radials. It is festooned with red spray-painted brake calipers, grill, chin spoiler, etc., and every manner of R Racing, black widow, and Tasmanian Devil decal that AutoZone ever carried. And every time he lights it off, it sounds like they're holding the Winternationals two blocks away. I wouldn't try it on.
Dude in a certain autocross region just north of me drives an ooooold C-2 vette that registered 130+ dB at 100'. I'm not even sure how that's possible, and it HAD mufflers

Guy I was stationed with bought a ratty ass C3, proceeded to spend every single dime he had made from two deployments on it (SrA and SSgt,) then while on terminal leave he went AWOL and got found out. Had to sell the stupid thing for less than half what he initially paid for it (not what he put into it) in order to finance a redeye flight home.
He is who I think of when I see those dumb things.

He's not wearing a corvette jacket, corvette hat, hot august nights white t-shirt or gold chain.
He also has all his hair and his car doesn't have the vanity plate that says "Vette"

Nah. Y'all are forgetting a few things. The guy with the jacket and the vanity plate would absolutely care. And likely make up some excuse why his car was slow. And would surely never even attempt a burnout is such a valuable classic.
Derrick from VGG did some pretty rad burnouts in his yellow C3, though admittedly it did have a blower to help.

That's what separates pros from amateurs. After 9/11 we shuttled firemen and cops from lots outside Manhattan into WTC. 24/7 people were on West St with signs waving at us. After dark women would be out drinking, and flashing the buses as we went by. We were able to look without slowing or hitting each other. I watched pairs of motorcycle cops get distracted and almost take each other out an embarrassing number of times.

There's a long graphic novel series called Saga where some of the characters are TV heads:
Predicting the future since 1966.
