    All that and now the GT1 effort is dead and they're moving to GT2.


    Assuming Corvette Racing survives the bankruptcy that is...

    If they had made a full-size one, the front splitter would have been visible from space.

    The C6R is an unruly, ripping, roaring, bull in a china shop that exudes brutality and intimidation. This is some shit you'd see in the parking lot for the antiques roadshow.

    More than adequate performance and great looks.


    The interior could still use a little more polish, but then again, poor interior quality is a trademark of Chevrolet and I would hate to see them abandon EVERYTHING they stand for.


    Wake me up if the General starts selling side-saddle scooters, that's when I'll get worried.

    This is the automotive equivalent to push-up bras with padding. They make the boobs look big, full and make for great cleavage, but then you take the bra off and wind up disappointed. The performance just doesn't match up to the looks.

    Boobies is boobies. And it's not like I would kick her out of bed. But when you spend the whole night stealing glances at what appears to be a nice, perky, cleavage-filled rack only to realize in those pre-coital moments that it was mostly lift, squish and padding from Vicky S you do feel...what is the word I'm looking for...defrauded.
