Ill look for the second video !

Look at Jalopnik's article, those two were street racing. So typical of owners of those cars. In more than on occasion I had pass a 300 SRT8 owner and they would WOT to catch up to tailgate or purposely me cut me off. (This was while I had 135 in 08 I guess they see me as threat. No such shenanigans in my Lexus now.)

If you are not one, I am sorry. There are exceptions to a rule.

Guess you never looked at youtube and see hundreds of 135's, is350's street racing, or any other car for that matter. Or even the Lexus' who take part in such activities. They would never.
Or even a few ISF's who pulled alongside me several times to give a Corvette minding his own business a run(unsuccessfully I'll add).

LOL.

I had this retard in a corvette cut me off and almost cause multiple accidents when I had my STi. Just my personal experience, but he was the worst and most reckless driver I've ever seen on a public road.

Doubt it. Just because drivers of other brand do it does not mean more or less vette will/will not do it. There's no casuation there never the less correlation. We have a difference of opinion I will agree to disagree.

What are you talking about here? How does the basic 'correlation does not imply causation' principle support your argument here?

sound familiar?
sounds pretty damn familiar to me
stereotypes are stereotypical for a reason. Vette owners, M3 owers, all the same.
Doesn't sound familiar to me at all. Maybe it's just an LA thing, lots of tools out there.
