Aaah perspective... wonderful thing
Stolen from the local autox board, who stole it from the ALMS board, who stole it from the current issue of Autoweek. (Yes lots of stealing. 
)
)
From the "But Wait, There's More..." page of Autoweek Mag (1-10-05):
Corvette C5-R driver Johnny O'Connell remembers his first race in the production car-based machine, fresh from experience in purposed-built prototypes, and teamed with both Dale Earnhardts. "I was having a lot of trouble adjusting from the prototypes in qualifying. The Corvette was a whole different ballgame. But at the press conference after qualifying, there was Dale Sr saying how he just loved the Corvette. He said, 'This Corvette stops when I tell it to stop and turns when I tell it to turn. It's just amazing.' And all I could think was, 'My God! How bad must a Winston Cup car be to drive?'"
