Spitfire and TR6s sure were fun to drive. That is, when they started.

There is a guy in the office next door who has a 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo. I have asked him several times if he is interested in selling it. He always says no. He is the second owner. It is probably still worth around $25K.

There is still nothing as thrilling to drive on New England back roads as a motorcycle. I had a 1979 KZ650 that was set up as a cafe racer(just like in Madmax). Gosh that was fun to drive.

If you are over 6 feet tall and not particularly skinny, you are probably going to have a hard time fitting comfortably in the new Corvettes

The cost is not bad for what you are getting either: $115,000–$133,000 estimated

If the estimate holds.

But then Bugatti takes it to the next level but the price is ten fold higher too

But it wouldn't surprise me if the Corvette could easily overtake the Bugatti Veyron, which has 16 cylinders & 4 turbo chargers, at a cost of 2.3 million dollars

Hey, when President Harris bans the Oil and Gas Industry it will only take one horse to move it.

The main expressway we drive every day to get to work is littered with little speed bumps. So many dips. Negligence!

It’s a great car, especially for the price. My only issue is styling....and I don’t mean the spoiler on the back, many high-performance cars have them and there’s not much that can be done, you need the downforce - they’re just ugly.

Rear mounted, twin turbo V8 :)

Curb weight estimated around 3,700 lbs “dry weight”.

Ferrari’s coming out with their new “12 Cilindri”, with an 819-hp naturally-aspirated V12 and 3,439-lb “dry weight”. Price around $400K new.

I just sold my motorcycle a couple of years ago after shoulder surgery. But I agree…Western MA in late summer and early fall….those roads were fun!

50 years old and the thought of driving a sports car again puts a smile on my face. It’s asinine that they don’t put at least ashtrays in the car anymore. Now there’s more litter and potential hazards in the vehicle. Smh.

Ugly.

Transformer looking garbage design.

Destroyed everything that made the Corvette desirable.

What woman wants to compete with that exterior for attention?

Sit down and shut up Shirley.

She’s a real Beauty huh?

I remember funny cars back in my day, that had HP very similar to that. Add a blower, and run a 6.2 second 1/4 mile.

I sold the KZ650 a year after my now 26 year old son was born. My wife told me she did not want to be a widow. She also said she did not want to change diapers of two boys.

When you call your auto insurance company to insure it, they will hang up on you.

As a Corvette owner, this ZR1 is an absolute beast!
