Your Dream Car...

I'm in Williamsburg, but might be buying a couple acres from the family out on Lake Kentucky.

Beautiful out there. Only been once but need to visit again. More water than the Atlantic out there!

I'm itching for a new mid-engine Vette.

I'm not for some reason. Seems cool but doesn't speak to me. I'm 60m mi from Corvette plant, Museum, Track so I do get to see some eye candy!

I dunno. Mid engine? So many things come to mind. Right behind me? Sound? Heat? 2 trunks OK but bet still can't have a spare like my C5 can't either

But I do bet weight distribution makes a diff in handling. I take 35mph curves at 65 most the time and wind up in a drift. Course my runflat goodyears getting pretty worn.

Yeah I'd like to try one, price is awesome for what it is. Prolly just stick to my C5 anniversary Z06

Lol, I'm still cruising around in an early c4.

Much modified of course.

Did you know if you own a Corvette, you can go to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green and take your vette out on their race track? They only let vette owners do it.

Nothing wrong with that. Awesome car, Had a 69 for about 30 hrs, Dad shut that down!

Ever read the best 2 books in the world? "all corvettes are red" and "no time to cry" Not big buck books but worth their cost many times over.

Red covers the C5 story, why they had to do a C5. I love C4 but good points. One is a C5 has over 1000 less parts than a C4. They knew a C4 would not pass the new 96 side impact test. Good read.

Not time to cry? Awesome William Cooksey Jr. No more to say cept read them both.

Many great choices, but ultimately, if only one car, it would have to be the original movie Batmobile retrofitted with a real 1,000 HP turbine jet engine and real machine guns in the wheel wells.

Wow, this looks like a modern age Batmobile! It would be a blast driving it around the neighborhood.

All the Corvette talk and on American Pickers just now they were looking at a sweet looking Corvette that has had it's body widened 12 inches, lowered, and given a special gold package. It was pretty sweet.

There's a guy who has one with a real jet engine in it.

Here is one of the original movie versions. These things are huge chick magnets.



Somewhere there is a video of a guy with a pretty souped up version of one and the police give him permission to pull out of the parking lot and burn out down the street.

My old c4 came originally with that ridiculous crossfire injection and horsepower almost in the negatives.

Yep... the Corvette Museum is in Bowling Green, and it is the one where the floor fell through into a sink hole and ruined 8 Corvettes. The museum is close to a lot of caves, so it isn't surprising that it happened. a large portion of Kentucky is over limestone and caves. I'm pretty sure that is where the kids got stuck in a cave for awhile because of a flash flood.

I remember seeing the story on the news.
