Komeuppance Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 The thing I can't get over, is at the end of the day -- a few of my extended family members help build that car. This isn't a good thing. See, my family - are Detroit natives - and while the direct lineage is ok, there has been some "questionable" marriages to the cousins etc. These are marriages to southern folks that had family-trees resembling telephone poles, if ya' know what I mean. Folks that I don't trust with sharp objects, or even with safety scissors.... Folks that used their union seniority and relocated to Bowling Green to work at the Vette plant. Add to this GM's lack of LEAN manufacturing process... and you get a potential Hillbilly Shit-Storm regarding Quality & Assembly on Fridays. Because Friday is the day after Billy and Joe have been out drinking' all night... took a bump of amphetamine... and went to work greased and buzzed. In short: chances are, if you own one of these vehicles, I have a 2nd cousin that vomited in it during assembly. I kid you not - if you heard the stories that I hear @ yearly family reunions of how they treat these vehicles, and f#$% around on the line... you wouldn't buy one. Someone just posted this on a thread about the new vette lol -Robert Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Whisky bottles stuffed into MonteCarlo frames. Lunches in behind door panels. (stink much) Burn outs in the parking area at night. Saw one car come down an isle and run into another in the lot... told the super and he said hmmmmm.... just clean up the mess. Pretty tame. Every year or two there would be a big scandle. Foreman, several workers and security guards caught in a theft ring. Supposedly one guy who asked the foreman and management if he could collect unused discarded obsolete fasteners and take them home. Floors are covered with this shit every shift and they never pick them up they just sweep into garbage. He got a 45 gallon drum full past the security check at the gate, loaded in his truck and went home. In the drum was a 2" deep tray covered with fasteners and under it was a block and two heads. Another guy waited for a stormy night and him and another guy held a shared pieces of cardboard over their heads as an umbrella, with a windshield inside. Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Apples to apples? Apples and lemons. The GT-R has 4 wheel drive. No way will a Corvette beat that off the line. Every foot lost is 5 times harder to get back. OK Modified vs. Modified http://youtu.be/S1sqMK5JgQ4 http://youtu.be/Nw3YyUcyzes 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 How can a 10 second GT-R loose to a 13 second truck? Quote Link to comment

nismo dr Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 ^this. thats the slowest gtr launch I've ever seen, either really bad driver or trans is breaking... or turned off launch control cause he thought he could do it better Quote Link to comment
