Yeah, the Corvette and the Viper get raced. The Corvette has done well in recent years in Trans Am racing.
The new corvettes are sweet rides... I’d take one in a heartbeat. But they’re just catching up. A ten year old Ferrari or Lambo or Porsche will still eat it’s lunch on a curvy course.
There’s no need to be apologetic about it. America is a country of wide open spaces and long stretches of highway between states. We’re all about strait line speed. That’s our cultural DNA. It’s what we do and we do it pretty damn well. :-)
In 1857 we won every SCCA race we ran with a 57 corvette.
In 1958 We won the Guadalahara State Fair road race and blew off the factory Ferrari with a 58 Corvette.
