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! 🔥😁🔥
At one point in time, I seriously considered the LT3 config...
The ‘Ray was shortlisted as my next car at one point in time. I love the NA engine! Forget the geriatric, wheezy sounding supercharger/turbo engine, gimme a unenhanced, “pure” engine anytime. I then finally settled with a twin turbo M4. Go fig...🙄 ...

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!

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 make...
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,...
