Arrow The new Corvette...

I have to admit, as much as I've always despised Corvettes (even when I was 9 years old, I didn't think they were cool), the new '05 is pretty sexy. Very nice looking vehicle.

I'm reading the article in Road & Track. Good read.

Although I'd still rather have a Viper

I almost bought a 58 Corvette; I didn't. Two weeks later, the 283 blew up. That was a sign from above.

I would prefer the lesser of the two evils and go with a vette.Can't imagine the payment and insurance though.

I'll take the "Concept Shelby Cobra"[BTW(BigMatt your French sucks!) But then again when did you drive a French Car that gave you the feeling of being in control?
Ford best get very serious about "Road Racing" (along with all other venues) again or they might as well pack up their kit and head for home!
I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem like there is a "Works Team" that campaigns or if everyone on the circuit just signs for the races they want.
If they get there "Races" COOL if not ... "Well F it ALL"

I gotta admit, I've always been a fan of the vette. It's always been my favorite sports car. I would however, love to have a 70-73 Mach1.
