Most people probably would have gone into shock, maybe even fainted, and this guy gets his camera instead. Then he casually posts about it like it's a f*cking DIY.

Well, you gotta remember what forum you're in. You'll have to take pretty much any outlandish slams against American cars with a big grain of salt (read: a salt lick.) I can't believe he had the nerve to say a Corvette gets "horrible" gas mileage, ESPECIALLY compared to 6-series! That statement blew all the credibility of his hole post! LOL



And you drive a what again? I'm sorry, huh? :unsure: :wacko:

The highway mileage is due to extremely tall gearing. Something like 1500 RPMs at 60mph. Bad news, even with the torquey V8 there's not much power down there. I bet the 550i pulls as well in top gear as the Vette from a given speed.


. . . if you are comparing it to a C5 coupe.
