But you seem like a cool guy. Those Vette guys were so full of themselves it just added to the enjoyment of beating them.

Something about Vette owners, the dicks seem to outnumber the cool guys. I guess lots of people buy Vettes to compensate for their "ineptitudes", and have attitude problems. 'Cept for classic Vettes, all the classic Vette owners I've met are teh cool.

That seems to be a problem with a lot of people that buy any somewhat-limited edition or rare performance car. They buy the car and are in their car club just to worship the marque. A lot of Mustang Cobra owners are the same way, they think they are the absolute hottest shit in the world just because they have a DOHC Cobra. Meanwhile, my 9 yr old GT (with a 40 yr old pushrod engine design) and almost any CSP Miata will hand them their ass out on the autocross course. Most of the time I just smile and nod whenever I'm around someone like that... the results will speak for themselves.

BTW, if you can't get ahold of a porsche tech, check aircooled shops, too. Got all the work done on mine at VWs Plus in Placerville, but the motor has more to do with a VW than Porsche, and most aircooled guys know quite a bit about 'em
