I owned a 2008 and was shopping the 2019 when I got the Roush.

Dang buddy. Congrats.

Only for about 2 or 3 goes. Try doing a couple of laps around Nurburgring in a Tesla. Until they come up with real endurance I’d rather have a Miata. Fun all day.

Saw someplace today that the car recently sold for 3.4 million .

Looks like bowling green uses Dodge Chargers for cruisers..

back to the drawing board GM... Your “fastest” corvette was caught by a Fiat.

[SkyPilot]

Yeah. Retirement funds. Good for her. She and her family held onto the car for decades.

[Viking2002]

Yeah, well.....admit it, if you were in their shoes, wouldn't you really want to yourself?

[Secret Agent Man]

yes, i would book some track time, because if i could afford the corvette, i could afford some racetrack timewher i could do it right.

You gotta figure that if you end up with a C8 in the first year; you’re gonna get pulled over, if for no other reason than the cop wants to check out your wheels.

It’s a family sedan, not a sports car but still in hypercar area.
