What are there 0-62mph times like?

Do you need to hold on or are you stuck in your seat so much you cant reach out to hold on :p :cool:

The only one I've ever been in had a 455ci motor with a rather large supercharger attached....that was reasonably quick. It helped that the owner is a complete and utter nutcase as well - he absolutely would not come off the loud pedal even when the car started to get very wobbly indeed :D

***edit***

This one belongs to an Italian collector, there are more pics of it on Wikipedia.



Awesome.

poorly built rattly bits of cruddy plastic that make early tvrs look well built. Awful handling and braking.

Very latest one is the first one that isn't utter pap.

FOr the older ones - probably this one

lol

The illumination from the buttons is a constant distraction. It looks like a super computer used in the 60's.

Just look at the functions button on the inside! im disappointed it cant fly lol.

Lookswise, I think that's my favourite corvette, or one of the pre-stingray models with the original 50s front end and the stingray-style rear end.

Don't. Be. Stupid.

That's Knight Rider you're dissing there, I don't wanna send the Hoff round. He'll come round with that bloke Mark on Streethawk and gun your house down with Blue Thunder. PH33R the 80's coming round to get you :D

Far be it from me to suggest that somebody knows so little about performance cars that they were unaware that Chevrolet made the Corvette would perhaps be safer considering something a little less potent..

Not ninja enough though ;) Anyway Airwolf would pwn Blue Thunder, hardcore.

Pfft. Airwolf hadn't even been invented when Blue Thunder was terrorising bad guys :rolleyes:

On the flipside if Airwolf was there instead of B.T. all three would match :cool:

Not an entirely unreasonable viewpoint imo.....

I think you need an early 80's Vette my friend. Something similar to this is my goal for the end of this year hopefully.
