I hope HardDrive is just kidding about being happy that some rare Corvettes fell into the sinkhole. I may love Porsches and I may never personally want to own a Corvette, but if I ever find myself in that part of Kentucky, I would enjoy going to the Corvette museum. Besides my interest in all things mechanical, some of the more exotic Corvette models had a little bit of European engineering in them. My son owned a 1991 Corvette ZR-1 for a couple of years. That model Corvette had a Lotus-designed four cam 32 valve engine that featured Mahle pistons and rods, Vandervell bearings, Bosch injectors, a German-made ZF 6 speed manual transmission, and a double mass flywheel. And, when you wound up that 5.7 litre V8 to north of 7,500, it made an amazing sound and put out some great power. Granted, the interior looked a little cheesy and dated, but it still was a great car.
