The Corvette That Never Was

Doesn't look like a Vette.

It's not it's an F1 car. The C8 is the most radical change ever for the Corvettes more than the 1963 split window, the 1968 mako style or other changes.
The sports car true enthusiasts are loving the move wanted it for years.
Oh not a home garage mechanics car at all! I used to work on my 1975 all the time when it needed it.

Tough choices. Vette or Alfa Spider. What do do, what to do??

Or buy his and her Mazda Miatas for the same money.?
️??
Of course I will never get her out of her Subaru Outback.
She loves that damn thing. And when I take it dove hunting on a 600+ acre ranch net month, I have to admit that high clearance and full time AWD will be appreciated.
I'm more likely to get the Subaru Crosstrek next time around. We love to go to Colorado high country and when my daughter borrowed it for skiing this winter she reported it could go anywhere she wanted to in very deep snow. Crosstrek has that same high clearance/AWD. In fact it can even use just 3 wheels if you get one tire lifted off the ground driving through huge pothole type terrain.

Don't care for Subarus. Boxer engine is crap.

The Mazda Miata is a cute little fairly affordable car but not in the mid engine class.
BTW where do you drive a vehicle that has a 194 mph track speed? Does it have a 200 mph speedometer?

On toll road 130 east of Austin where the current speed limit is 85 and they stop you at 90. Go at 2 am and there is nobody out there but you because it's cheaper and faster to go through Austin at that time of night (unless of course you are trying for that 194 mph). The road is built somewhat like the autobahns so it won't just buck you off like most roads in the US at that speed.

But they last forever if you stay completely on top of required maintenance and don't go cheap with inferior synthetic oil blends. Plus it helps to be married to a little old lady that drives that way. LOL!??

Oh I read where the 2022 Vette will have an optional 800 hp engine.......800 horses, yeah I need that!

Then they need to adapt that engine to this old GM concept car. Would you believe the original 1956 Golden Rocket Olds?
BTW would you also believe that is a fiberglass body? Marry that light weight to 800 horses you need a gantry to launch it.

And not to be outdone, Ford came up with the Nuleon in 1957. Is this nulcear powered thing butt ugly or what? Or maybe they were just making fun of the 57 Chevy "rudders". LOL!?

Most of the people driving corvettes are in their 60s and 70s. My neighbor across the street has a bright red one that he just stands in his garage every weekend and stares at it or something. I think he might drive it once a year.

That is too funny, Guy that lives right up from me has 2 corvettes 1 is a stingray the other is kinda newer but never drives either of them, when he leaves the house he drives a 2002 Ford F150 that has seen better days, Once in a great while me mite pull them out of the garage but never leaves the drive way. I am not saying he should drive them everyday but why have it if you just want it to sit? Let alone 2 of them? Go out, have fun, geesh.

Was this just a concept car? I don't ever recall this car ever?

Totally a concept car and it really did not have a nuclear engine in it. They were anticipating miniaturization years down the road that might allow one. It was one of a kind.

The 'Merican car companies don't have the cash anymore to do concept cars, too bad. Now it's electric and that kind of stuff.

That was 1 ugly ass car but I can see people wanting it just to show off, no matter how ugly it is somebody would want 1 to show off

All I know is that I cannot recall a corvette being in any famous movie chase scene.
French Connection
Here, a lot of Mustangs, no vettes

I don't think you will ever see a fiberglass car in those kind of scenes.

The one that got a way (at least the driver disappears). Ignore the second chase tagged on - they never find the Vette driver who bailed late in the chase.

Or just buy yourself a little Subaru and track down Porches with it. LOL!
