Jim, sorry to see you leave your SVX behind, but I know the feeling.
The Corvette has serious street cred in my book, and as good a pedigree as anything out there. Good choice. From what I read of European tests, the new car acquits itself better on smooth roads than on bumpy back lanes, but the design is nearer to circuit racer than to World Rally Series, so what do you expect?

Was I living in the States, I would have one of those, and have it fettled by a guy called John Lingenfelter who knows how to make them give their best.{mine would be silver with a silver roof}

Enjoy the change, and take care in the wet.

Joe
