To answer your question why there were Corvettes there on the cruise, we were INVITED by Charles on the Corvette Forum. We didn't just "show up".
I have met many of you at the Chapters GTGs and can say you all seem like great guys who love your cars like we love ours. Please don't live up to the "Porsche drivers stereotype". No need for a holier than thou attitude.
To P1-EH, the black (It's called Cyber grey) Vette is my good friend's car. He has a supercharged 402 (among many other custom mods) and it is a total beast and definitely was one of the faster, if not fastest cars there. (over 1000 hp to the rear wheels!!) It has a very distinctive sound, more like a jet than a car, its one bad machine. The owner is a very nice guy and humble too, and he has tons of great track stories too. Its always a blast cruising with him.

BTW, 100% agree with the rest of your post.

Guys it was a great Cruise! now leave the BS alone! We all did stupid mistakes no one got hurt, or ticketed. so LET IT GO! I invited a Vette weather it was an Exotic or not, its a nice looking Car that gets looks!
I wish we did this 2 times a year but not to Wasaga! the traffic and getting lost was killer! All in all it was a great even!

Sorry Wrong word, How about we all do STUPID THINGS... Better? That Law is a cash grab Nothing more then that! we all do off the wall things,but not like some kids out there in there cars. The Best one i heard was the lady in the SUV serving to avoid the debris falling off the truck in front of her and the cop was behind her and pulls her over for Cutting him off!! Nice !! Support our boys in Blue!!
You can kill someone and have to be proving Guilty, you do something on the road no one gets hurt and you have to prove your innocence.

I agree that the stunting law is a cash grab. But it's only a cash grab if people are doing those stupid "things" and get caught. My only beef with that particular law is the road side seizure. I want my day in court. Issue me a ticket or summons, suspend my license, hell, even arrest me, but do not seize my car and/or personnal belongings.
That law was also supposed to act as a deterrent. Get the drivers NOT to break that law to avoid the stiff fines and seizures, but it doesn't seem to be working that way.
Regardless, it looked like a great turnout at the Exotics cruise. I was surprised to see no Lambo's in any of the pictures posted here, on FChat or any other forum. No Lambo's show up?
They really need to improve the beach strip on Wasaga. It's so...1950's. Make it more car and pedestrian friendly for today's environment.

All in all the ride was great but you're right speedyellow, the guy in the other yellow 993 was driving crazy. On HWY 24 going north he crossed over the yellow line to pass and he couldn't get back in time. He actually forced the oncoming SUV to veer off on the gravel shoulder to avoid a head on. I was 100m behind him and couldn't believe how close it was.
Again on 24 the black mustang "something or other" lined up with a guy in a white "jap job" and they hammered it-twice. Don't care much about either of these cars but boy can they move.

When we used to plan the mixed exotics cruise in the NSX club we would always have one or two strangers showed up who don't post on a forum or belong to a club. 9 times out of 10 any stupid driving was done by those guys.
I find that belonging to a club like PCA or chatting on RL seems to almost pre-qualify people to be decent on the cruise. We used to keep routes etc secret so no one could tag along.
Sorry I missed it!

Guys I'm glad you all had a great time and I'd like to thank the organizers for their time and patience for providing us with such a fantastic cruise which I might add went off without a hitch and virtually uneventfull.
However, I wasn't really expecting all this bad talk amongst friends though. We all get along pretty good and there is no need to cut each other down whether it's by what kind of car we drive or otherwise. I'd bet my car that there isn't one guy on this forum that didn't do something "stupid" at one time or another, especially when the testosterone flows (That almost sounds like Testarossa, cool) so it's best to keep our coments to ourselves, stop calling the kettle black and not create enemies on this forum or across any other parallel car forum.
I think in keeping the peace, I along with others, have decided to close this thead before it gets out of hand.
Thanks to all again and play nice next time!!
