I saw that back in the winter.


Coming home one day on US 30.
I noticed the car, then saw the "Manufacturer" license plate.
No badges, logos, nothing.

They must have putting miles on a test car.

I notice a manual transmission isn't even an option now, not that I could shift as fast as the automatic anyway.

Last time I drove a 'Vette, it got a bit uncomfortable, being 6'05" and all.

That new one doesn't look any more roomy.

He was truly ahead of his time...


Jokes aside, I kind of liked the FR vette. Yes it might be more prone to understeer or whatever, but it - like the Viper - always had that distinct aura of America.

I bet the salesman would be more than happy to dicker on the price 🙄

I've seen two in/around our town of 30,000 here in central NC. Had to do a double take but they are pretty sweet. Just wait until they bring out the performance packages. Supercars beware.

I rolled past this car a few weeks ago coming home from Portland.

No question, it’s a very sexy car...The driver on the other hand was fat, old as fück, and looked like he had Down Syndrome.

Typical Corvette driver.

😂😎

Lol. An old man pony tail is like icing on a cake. Usually paired with the embroidered leather Vette jacket.

No doubt it is a sweet car though.





Hoping I can still grow a pony tail by the time I can afford one. 😃

Hey now be careful.
Some of us corvette drivers are not old and fat.
Well, maybe a little old.
Mine is a 2016 stock Z06, 650 HP, seven speed manual.
It will out perform the 2020, by a wide margin.

So the Vette FINALLY goes mid-engine. Been a long time coming...

I have not followed Corvette development for many years and couldn't identify anything after 1990 or so, really, but some of the later ones I've seen from behind look like they have Pontiac DNA in the styling. Talking about the tail lights here. Kinda had me thinking GM might one day revive the Pontiac brand and cluster all their high-performance vehicles under the name. Just a wildass guess!


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

When I bought the new body designed corvette in 1986. I Thought I was gonna be the baddest on the road, until I pulled up next to a guy in a 1970’s vintage 4 speed Corvette, I believe.

He dropped the ass on his Vette twice, and left me where I was. I remember just watching the rear of his Corvette drop and lift every time he shifted gears.

I sold mine less than a year later.

LOL
