I like that the new Corvettes are mid engine. I think Corvette fans have been waiting a long time
for this C8. I guess with today's advancements in transmission technology that the automatic
is the way to go.
My 911 is manual and has none of the new permissive supervision that keeps you out of trouble.
Yea ... I am old, grey and in the way. I like the styling/design of sports cars made in the 60's.
Today, I brought home to Sacramento from eastern Wyoming a 1971 C3 ragtop.
For me, that car is what I wanted more than the 2021 Corvette. It hasn't been restored and will keep me busy for awhile.
I will try to post some pics in the Random Transportation Pic thread.

Plus the C3 was a heck of a lot less money that the 1, 2 or 3LT.
When you open the engine hood and all you see is eight spark plug wires, a distributor and a coil, you can't help but smile.
