Tervuren!!!! YES you get it you love CARS! not just ONE brand of car.... petrolhead vs porscheafile

It was a joke. I know it’s a $2 mil car.

I find whatever I’m driving I see more of them on the road ...

On Sunday I’m renting a Uhaul to take a 964 to autos international for new upholstery .
I’ll no doubt see a lot of Uhaul’s but no 964s . :D

An original maybe , but A coach built vette isn’t ...

I love it .
Been waiting for pics to arrive ever since I heard the next gen was gonna be a middy a few years ago .

I’m from England so have allways been intrigued by the wacky-races cars you don’t see everyday growing up .
Bang for buck they allways seemed great .
If you could afford the bill at an English petrol station :rolleyes:

As it is right now , for a pure bang for buck comparison go to porsche.com and spec your middy .....................

I'm thinking you are too easily excited! :D

I saw in one of the articles I read that they already have plans for a RHD for across the pond.

Yeah I read that .
No doubt by the time the nanny state has “regulated” it , it’ll be more chevette than corvette .


You might have to google that one ... :D

If/when I can pick one up used for $20k, I'm getting one.

There’s a guy at work selling a late 70s vette , has been for the last 4-5 years so I heard .
Wants 4-5k for it .

The problem is , he wears his shirts unbuttoned to the waist and gold necklaces and rings .
I’m not sure I could pull off the complete look as I’m only 50 .

Looks absolutely amazing.

There is going to be a brisk business selling aftermarket front and rear bumper covers

This....or even smaller. Car is too dared big for a mid-engine sports car.

It was a joke back. :D

I'm fixin' to head up to Lowes...bet I see a few POS white F150s...I'm giddy with anticipation...

Then I get to set fence posts....YIPPEE :)!

Source of my thinking, profile is very Ferrari.

See how the Ferrari is the much better design, with far fewer styling features?

GM has screwed up the last two Corvettes by littering the designs with an absurd number of extraneous lines and details. There are so many poorly thought-out details on the rear of the car, it makes you wonder how they could make such an error. Surely, someone on their design staff went to design school.

^^^ KISS lost out to Kiss my azz :(

Just not seeing the Ferrari/Corvette comparison in that photo.

It shows obvious profile differences in a side by side like that.

Nose area, door area, windshield area, side window area, rear quarter window area, back window area, rear bumper, side door area.

Some may think “mid-life crisis older white man” when they hear the word Corvette. The word evokes images like the above to me.

This car has so many aspects that remind me of a fighter. I love it. I’ll keep my project RSR Outlaw for individuality, but I almost can’t afford to not get one of these, even if there are a few others around town.

You don’t have a very good eye. First, let’s assume that you understand that one of those red cars is not a Corvette.

After that, take a look at the blue car and the Ferrari. They have the same basic shape and proportion’s, even some of the features like the lower side window line is eerily similar. There are differences in the details, that’s what I’ve been complaining about. GM adds a great deal of unnecessary complexity and none of it makes the basic design better. Some of it is a nod to usability, like the increased ramp angle in the front, but most of it’s just unnecessary, fake complexity for it’s own sake.

For example, why does the Corvette have the two huge side air intakes?
