CORVETTE!!!


CONCLUSION: An SVX trying to race a C-5 is kind of like a piss ant crawling up an elephant's leg with rape on its mind.
Thanks Randy. Now I know. These babies get my respect. In many ways the current Corvette is the bargain supercar. I would have one of these, even put up with driving from the wrong seat!!

My favourite would be silver with bodycoloured hardtop.

The only real criticism I have heard of them is they are set up for smooth roads. The ride is choppy over bumpy roads, a real problem here in Ireland.

BTW, the SVX, and those Impreza WRXs are the best cars I have ever known for taking a bad surface at speed. My SVX just sucks in bad roads at warp speed and throws them back. Wonderful body control and damping. Hard to think how they could improve it. Maybe if they let the chassis engineers work on the auto transmission??
