The Corvair was a rear engine car. Big difference in handling.

You would think they would have washed it before taking the picture.

Moved the center of gravity from the front to the center so it can spin around in a circle better; blows the cornering.

(but I'm a fem so what do I know?)

“You would think they would have washed it before taking the picture.”

Funny.

IIRC that exterior was developed to impede competitors from being able to distinguish the true body lines and shape. A lot of vehicles in test phase use it......I think.

Will have an upgraded version of the current 6.2 liter V8. Only transmission will be dual clutch auto.

Might start as low as $62k.

Yep, saw a Toyota in the parking lot at the donut shop at the top of Pike’s Peak with the same stuff all over it.

I've been following the Corvette saga on The Drive. Apparently the launch date has been pushed back several times because of drivetrain issues.

Also, Chevrolet was disappointed that they didn't get a sub-7 minute time on the Nürburgring.
