President Biden is burning rubber away from the the midterm campaign trail.
The 79-year-old took his 1967 Corvette Stingray for a spin on an episode of CNBC’s “Jay Leno’s Garage” that aired Wednesday night.
Biden’s green convertible, featuring a 350-horsepower V-8 engine and a four-speed manual transmission, was no match for Michael Powell’s more powerful automatic 2015 Stingray.

Well....better the “cackler” than “the cankles”. Imho.
My 74 (a dog as far as vettes go) would barely reach 130. And I worked the carb to get that, but it was fun anyway, and the chicks liked it.
Owned it 5 yrs, from 77 to 82, and put 55k miles on it, with no issues at all, selling it with 83k miles. Adjusted for inflation, that car only dropped in value about $1,500 after driving it that much.
I agree…. I have a 2004. 118 is like 55 in most vehicles
“Isn’t that a repeat show, Biden is not allowed drive as President.”
Rematch
“118 is like 55 in most vehicles”
I think their “118” was actually closer to 55.
i agree...he doesn’t have the muscle needed.
Shame on fatboy Leno.

In our testing, we recorded a zero-to-60-mph time of 2.8
seconds and the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 122 mph in
a car equipped with the Z51 performance package and the
optional FE4 magnetorheological dampers.

Oh, please. There’s no way Biden was actually driving that car and that fast. Alot of obvious selective editing cuts in that video to give the illusion Biden was driving and driving fast.
Obviously just a propaganda piece to try to fool us into thinking Biden is in full control of his mental faculties when we all know he isn’t. He isn’t mentally capable to operate an automobile.
This deception attempt can be expected from Biden’s handlers. But its disheartening to see Jay Leno play a part in this obvious charade. Come clean, Leno.
Why did you post those specs?
Well, bye Jay.
....lol, I’ve owned 4 different Vettes and have driven them tens of thousands of miles and I can guarantee you I wouldn’t want to be in one going 118 mph. I LOVE Vettes but they are for looking at and picking up girls! They are not a fine tuned with balanced everything racing machine like a Porsche, Ferrari or other go fast car.
Whoopty-Doo!
He can ride but not climb stairs.
The 7:29.9 time makes the C8 Corvette faster than the previous-generation C7 by around 10 seconds. Impressively, it’s also quicker than the new 992-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S, which set a 7:30.41 lap time in fall 2019 at the hands of German publication Sport Auto.

10% for the big guy, so that was 11.8 mph.
“10% for the big guy, so that was 11.8 mph.”
Closer to 6.

Bidet allowed by Secret Service to risk his life in a drag race?!...Hmmm, Kackles is rubbing her hands.
...and, the Tesla Model S Plaid set the all-time fastest laptime at the Nurburgring, if I’m not mistaken...
