Motor Trend ^

OT...

You still playing a Strat? I just picked up a new one last June. Roadhouse Deluxe.

[Zhang Fei]

[Ridiculous. There’s no way that car will do over 45 mph. Your Honor.]

That’s right. They have specially installed GPS location-triggered governors to prevent them from speeding while on the street. Honest Injun.

Dan Gurney wasn’t going to do the Cannonball Run. His wife’s father who was quite sick at the time told his wife to tell Dan to do it! And he did!

LOL you bet

[OrioleFan]

Speed limits are just guidelines.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I just bet

That is why I cannot buy a sports car...i woukd get tickets all the time. Probably be arrested if caught at 105 or more.. What is the purpose of a car than goes 195? (Other than fun). Its crazy to see Porches..vettes...lambos in stop and go traffic on 405 freeway in l.a.

Yep, for the RAV4 and Camry crowd.

That’s why I do my serious driving in my Volvo wagon (it’s very fast): all I’m missing are a couple soccer league stickers and a wig, and I’m totally incognito.

I have a Convertible C8 on order. First folding hardtop ever on a Corvette.

Unfortunately they don’t start building them until early April. Hope to have it by Independence Day.

[cquiggy]

They were five minutes from Beech Bend International Raceway. What idiots.

[The Antiyuppie]

I must say this model is the only one I’ve really been interested in since 1972. And if they can hold the line on the price the temptation will be enormous.

[irishjuggler]

Congrats. Should be a heck of a car.

[Kickass Conservative]

I had a 2014 Stingray. The 2020 is a different animal. The C8 Hardtop Convertible is the closest I’ll ever get to owning a mid engine European Exotic. It will be my official “retirement” car. Well, I did own a Fiat X19 30 years ago. LOL 😂

[atc23]

Must have a weak engine to not be able to outrun cop cars

Minimum speed, right?

[wardaddy]

Big deal

But there is a track right across 65 north from the plant

Why not use that...

[wardaddy]

Pikers...911 six years ago on 840 with a spotter....179mph...which is incidentally top speed per Porsche NA

unique japanese boy names

[trebb]

And only 4 seconds into the “race”...

It is the same money, adjusted for inflation, as the ‘85 ‘Vette. A lot of car for the money.
