Corvette Drivers

Okay this has been several instances of EVERY Corvette I have seen on the road lately....

-Driving 35-40 mph in a 50 zone, 30 mph in a 40 zone, 55 mph on the highway
-Accelerating as slowly as possible
-Holding up traffic
-No turn signals
- 0-30 mph in 10 seconds

Okay, please excuse this rant. Why the hell would you buy a lightweight 400+ hp car and not even use 100 of those ponies ?? Why would you buy such as fast car just to hold up traffic and drive like a grandma ?? Why can't you drive like a normal person ?? Are you trying to prove something by driving so damn slow ? C'mon you are driving slower than the grandma in her Buick in the right lane, she's 6 car lengths ahead of you and still hasn't hit the speed limit. Excuse me, but why do people buy such high horsepower fast cars yet can't even drive normally ? I mean they aren't even that good looking, a 5th gen Camaro looks 100 times as good as even the new C6 Corvettes(which have been around since what ? 2003 ?)..... so going slow so people can stop and stare just makes no sense. I am guessing these are the people that brag about getting 20-25 mpg+ on their corvettes.... but what's the point of driving dangerously slow just to get good gas mileage in a V8-powered pure bred sports car ? Riding their tails or not.... all the drivers I have been seeing drive much slower than normal traffic.
