Corvette powered but not a Vette as such.......

This car is always going to be Marmite. All the best designs are. It is absolutely unmistakeable and looks far more impressive in person. As for the drive I think the V Series cars are amazing all rounders, particularly as auto's. I have a theory that this car is faster to 100mph in the real world than a Z06 as it requires little skill to launch effectively. I'm smitten that's for sure. M

Really? Lambo Muira? GT40? E-type? Etc. I wouldn't have commented on it otherwise, but let's be honest: it's pretty ugly and the colour really doesn't do it any favours. It may drive well, but it's no looker.Watched Top Gear USA on telly last night, its a freakin fast car.
Was quicker than a Ferrari California in a drag race and round
the track the "wagon" version (estate to us) was the faster against
the coupe, and only just behind a Balboni Lambo ! !
If i could afford a ZR1, one of these would be my daily motor . . . i wish.

More than welcome to your opinion Gary but in fairness there are plenty of other cars I can mention. Rolls Royce Phantom had a terrible reception when it was launched, two years later things picked up and it never looked back. Having only had the car on display for a couple of days I can tell you now that people walk straight past Corvettes without so much of a glance. I'm sure not all of these people love it but so far its reception has been 75% positive to 25% negative.P.S. I actually find E-Types duller than beige paint. I'll grant you the other two, though some non-car loving folk can think that GT-40s are kit cars.....
