That pretty well sums it up right there. The Z is a great car but it wasn't designed for crappy roads.

Some of those "bro dozers" (what I heard they're called) are some fast rigs. We're talking 500+ hp and 550+ lb./ft. of torque. It doesn't matter that it's a 6,000+ lb. vehicle. Lotta power.

Let's be honest though. Coal rollers' affinity for pole smoking is hardly a secret, I mean, those trucks look and sound totally straight and manly

Hey guys, me too, I need to increase my post count on a thread that should've been closed at post #3.

Oh yeah, OP read the rules, sell your car, and use the search function, I can't be bothered to read if this has been said already.

What's thinly veiled dumbass? damn and dumbass aren't on the vulgarity list. Maybe you should look into these things before opening your mouth again?

Oh and I added an extra "s" before, didn't notice. Fixed now grammar Nazi
