Sounds likely to me.

You are totes jelly. It doesn't make sense but it happens. Example:

350Z with bolt ons sees a Mustang up ahead. "Ooh I can totally smoke a 4.6L!, I'm gonna catch up to this guy... oh wait... 5.0... i'm skurred."

Thought about it...the 5.0 starts a lot of conversations with older car guys that have kinda "checked out" of the scene since the 90s...I've been having fun meeting people

Alabama highways are just like the fast and the furious movies...passing is like an insult and an invitation to race

Same here. Like the Z, the new 5.0s are a good conversation starter. I have actually met a lot of nice Veterans with the Z. They'd always say something about how it reminds me of their first car when they got back from the war.

Nobody in a Vette is scared of that 5.0 badge. Neither is anyone in a decent Porsche.

C5 Vettes are skurred. We are about even with a C6 non Z06, if not a tad bit quicker.

Stock for stock something like an Evo or an Sti is not that fast, but they have gobs of potential. You never really know if you're going to come across a stupid fast one or just a normal one.

I no jelly. I've just never had that thought process. "hmm, I'm gonna pass this guy, oh sh-- he could be supercharged." Never occurs to me. If it makes you feel smooth, then by all means, feel that way.

I want to see the base C6 beaten by a stock Mustang GT. Would love to see that vid.

That's because you're a very passive person. You never act as an aggressor on the street towards other drivers. Instead you are polite and proper. You enjoy spirited drives, but not in illegal competition. You, sir, are a gentleman.

Stock vs. Stock is a drivers race, son.
