Bleah.

Corvettes must be American, and they’ve turned them into Eurotrash hypercar designs.

Agrre.

But at around 135mph, the front end starts to go airborne.

Really needed some aero work like a lower air dam to keep the sir from piling up and raising things.

“Doing 70mph+ is a different thing.”

If it is good enough for supersonic jets it will be fine at 70+ mph

My 2016 Mustang GT started to feel that at about 110.

My 2019 Roush is comfortable at 135+.

Recently sold my ‘62 w/both tops. It was a fine car, but at 6’2”, it was difficult to ingress & egress with either top on.
Next one will be a C2 coupe, i hear they are more driver friendly.

I dont think the Mach V is a new concept. I remember watching that a long time ago.

“I don’t know exact numbers.”

Then how do you know it won’t work?

Self-driving cars used more complex image processing and they work fine at 70+mph.

I heard that 70 is the new 50, so I want one of those and a cheerleader for a do-over of my mid-life crisis!
