” would prefer a v6 or v8 Miata with a clutch and a convertible. Having a car that goes 200 mph in 5 seconds with an automatic and a seating position like a dentists chair is useless for me and many others. GM could never build a nimble car.”
The C8 Corvette has TWO clutches.
“GM could never build a nimble car.”
Miata only pulls 0.9 g on the skidpad. The C8 pulls > 1.0.
My Roush, > 1.05
“Did I miss anything? Like does it have an engine, or ?
Concept car.
Well if it can’t be picked up on radar that’s a good thing.
hi
ok but when i conceptualize having a new car, it has an engine in it
probably an engine will be an Extra Cost Option?
I’ve often paid less than $1.00 for them.
Nimble is not just g’s.
‘13 Mustang 6 speed manual. The AC went out. I am looking at a big bill.
“Nimble is not just g’s.”
True. My bicycle is more nimble than a Miata.
I once had a Miata. It was a fun car.
