Just a feeling.
Could be right or could be wrong

I've never been inside a corvette and i've never driven one but i've seen one where i live and i saw it today

They have a nice look but still i prefer european cars. Of course i am not able to judge a corvette cause i 've never driven one

I bought a new Corvette in 1979 because I always wanted one. Even with the extra L-82 option, the HP was down to 225 with all the smog equipment on it. It would probably go around 130mph. I bought a used Infiniti Q-45 in 1993 that had a smaller engine but more horsepower and it weighed much more than the Vette. The Q-45 was electronically limited to 155mph and it was probably faster in a drag race.

Don,

Terrific picture. Is that an advertisement for Rolex or Lexus. They look great together. A good combination.

Mine is a 340 HP with 3.70 ratio. I'd hate to try to get it to 150. Like what was said before, bias tires and drum brakes ain't the hot ticket anymore !!

Thanks. I just happened to have the camera on me one day, and was sitting in traffic admiring the new Sub. I saw that it would make for a great pic, so I snapped it.

Indeed, both Rolex and Lexus are symbols of excellence, and go well together. The problem (hehe) is that no one can buy just one of either.

I hope to one day take up that offer, thanks.

The last time I was down in Ohio it was to take my niece and nephew to Sandusky's amusement park and also managed to watch an Indians game a few years ago.

I was just talking to Ziphe about his ride. I was unable give him a ride home today, so he had to ride his bike with his Rolex through the streets of LA--with fear and no shame.
