Nah, it's my bad. You can see matte stuff on 30s-50s rides all the time and it looks decent, like it belongs. On newer stuff (urethane bumpers, really) it looks like ****. I was wondering if it was just a few modern cars being "modified" or if it was becoming a "thing" for modern car owners to do.
I rank matte paint right up there with truck nuts on a modern car.

Against you? Low 11's should put you deep in the rear view mirror. Far enough were they wont know if you are a LT1 Camaro or a Geo Storm.

Erm?
I was referring to his link to the TGO thread with the guy saying not only should Frosty be in the 11s it should also pull the wheels on the highway.
You can go cry over your lack of running turd gen now.

everything i seen about the ZR1,
its the best 'stock' vette
under 3500 pound
600 horsepower
6 speed
supercharged 
and stock for stock it can beat A LOT of car's on the road with the right driver.
now if you drive it i mean really drive it the power will shake it apart all that fiberglass and plastic

What's your point? I've seen a Civic hatch run faster than a ZR-1, I'd still take the 'Vette (and sell it).

Older cars are the only cars i think matte looks OK on. I agree, that zo6 just looks unfinished

Whoah whoah whoah, Al...lol....I appreciate the compliment and the confidence but my GTA is NOWHERE near an 11 second car, it's barely a 12 second car
It's a bone stock(and I mean bone stock from a long block standpoint, valve covers have never been off of it)) 144K mile L98. She's getting a bit tired but it's to be expected.
