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.

118 KM/hr, maybe.

In that video, neither car is going over 70 mph.

118 mph in a convertible 67 corvette would nearly top out the front shocks from the terrible aero lift.

If it has a hydraulic lifter 350, THE TOP SPEED of a ‘67 Covette is 118 mph and it would take over a mile to get there.

The SS is going to let Biden mat his Vette for 2 miles.

“well, it’s possible you’ve driven one that didn’t get scary over 100mph. “

I drove a 2011 at over 100 and it was not scary. I’ve driven my Roush well above 100 and it wasn’t scary. I drove a 2022 vette at lower speeds (80’ish) but compared to the others it was superb so I say it would not be scary at 100.

Probably a 327/350 hp.

The 350 didn’t go in till 1969.

Thanks. I misread that. I assumed he put a 350 in it.

It’s Biden.

“The SS is going to let Biden mat his Vette for 2 miles.”

That “strip” is less than a quarter mile.

The Area where he supposedly went 118 mph is only about 800 feet long on google maps:

United States Secret Service James J. Rowley Training Center

118mph didn't happen. Where is the "Fact Check"?

Biden is a higher-grade John Fetterman.

Please explain how a 1967 327 vette can reach 118 mph on a strip less than a quarter mile long.

I am disappointed that your organization fell for this fake video.

Thanks,

Kick the NFL’s ass after the election. Don’t pick a fight with the worlds biggest sports org 9 days from the election. Once she wins then she tells them to take their woke BS and shove up their keyster.
