They have a special place in my heart. As a boy growing up in The South, it was as exotic a car as I ever saw. I dreamed of owning one and frankly never thought that I would. Whether I am driving her or sneaking a peak at her in the garage she always makes me smile. No doubt yours did the same for you.
Southern California
Today was one of those days in Southern California on which, if you have a taste for petrol, you hit the canyons with a big smile. I did just that. It was, as we say in SoCal, epic. ...
Ah, you’re fortunate! I’ve had the pleasure of driving from Geneva to Fleurier.
But I was in the back of a passenger van! I can only imagine what it would be like to drive there in a capable car!
Nice!
Yes, this engine provides a generous amount of torque and horsepower in a naturally aspirated v8.
Looks like a perfect day.
What a great setting for a Vette photo, it looks like it is running 100 mph while standing still.
Sure, Capt.
It’s a c7 Corvette Stingray Z51. Stock LT1 engine (6.2l v8, naturally aspirated, 460 hp — 460 lb/ft). This one has the torque converter 8-speed transmission. She’s hell on wheels! 🔥😁🔥

I've always been a BMW guy. My last car was the Z4 and I had some great times in it, driving from Point Zero in Victoria to Winnipeg (central Canada) in 2 days, 1 night and 1 speeding ticket... As much as the Vette is pure power and the best bang for your...
BMW Vs Corvette...
Thanks for your reply. I had an original M3 in the late 80s a great car but in the wet weather it wanted to throw you into the nearest hedge !. The Corvette is like a guilty pleasure, you know like a loud shirt or jacket but you still love it. Keep enjoyi...
Had a '99 Vette dark blue convertible, bought off the showroom floor
Corvettes, like any of the other few iconic monster-fast cars on the planet... are like 'no other'. Each 'beast' has its own growl and power. I know the road and the car... in spirit!

Fantastic !
That's not what i can say about my driving experiences for 2018 until now :-( ... snow, rain, snow, rain, rain, rain .... and so on. We have had maybe 5 good days this year (at low temperatures) and for the first time in years i haven't ridden a bike yet,...
