[mkiv] Viper vs. Z06 Corvette

[Andi Baritchi]

Also, while the skyline would be fun as hell on the track, for purists 
like me, it wouldn't be fun enough on the street. 
AWD = downer
automated paddle shifter = downer
no v8 = downer

For everyday street driving, give me a manual RWD V8 car like a Vette 
anyday.  And put some Borlas on it. 

Sigh. I'm getting old.  It was bound to happen.
