YouTube - Corvette C6 Z06 fly-by

God forbid he changed lanes right at that moment.

Not that hazardous as long as you are paying attention...of course driving like that in the US you would have some idiot change lanes in front of you because they half-ass or don't even look before changing lanes.

I've driven extensively on the Autobahn and the rules are much stricter...

The left lane is too be used ONLY for passing slower vehicles and many sections of the Autobahn have no speed limit.

It is against the law and subject to heavy penalties to pass anyone on the right.

Man, I wish we had the same thing here. I hate dealing with passing lane squatters.

Corvettes are turning into "really fast" cars. The last thing Corvettes are is "exotic".

With top-of-the-line Corvette prices breaching the six digit barrier, that's touching exotic territory.

Go ahead and youtube Z06's versus exotic cars... 8/10 corvettes outrun the exotic cars... even check out the SRT-10. I guess they are not exotic in the sense that they are not rare but they do seem to be outrunning all the exotic cars where speed and quickness has been their name to fame.

**** like this is how people get killed on the road. "Not that hazardous" my ass.
I can picture people like you in their minivans doing 53 in a 55 in the left lane... both hands clenched at 10 and 2, seat right up to the steering wheel and your chin as high in the air as it can go... oh and your rearview mirrors are pointed in any direction but the rear.

GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR WAY!

I love fast exotic cars my choice of drug anyday, but why risk your life on any public road at those speeds. You never know what foolish moves a person may make on these roads, I say take that speed to a closed track, live another day to enjoy your toys.
