Any Corvette lovers out there?

I'm not dissing the Corvette - it's a legend. But maybe that's all it is.

Yes, the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger all run in comparable classes and configurations. The Corvette is a 2 seater in a whole different class and is marketed against European and other foreign luxury type sports cars....

Big difference...2 seats and the mystique. I've owned 5 over the years. Even the bad ones of the seventies and eighties were still Corvettes. If you've owned one, you understand, if you haven't, you don't.

I'm sure some have seen the Cleetus McFarland videos
of his Corvette "Leroy".
Business wise connected somehow to 1320 Videos.

Saved from the scrapyard, with Twin Precision Turbos.
Shifter trans ran 7.87 in the 1/4. 145mph in the 1/8th.
Imagine if he put some aero on the front.

I can't believe I am only now seeing this thread. I have a couple of these lovely machines...

The 03 is a daily driver...about to turn 100,000, and the 17 Z06 is just a fun times machine, I think there is around 24,000 on it already. I've been to 170 in both...the 17 just gets there so much quicker. The 03 is just a comfortable drive that gets 30 mpg on the highway. Wish I had a bigger garage...the 03 has to sit outside while I work on these darn carts. Poor girl is getting cold and rained on...she is gonna start being mean to me.

Can anyone tell me how to manage photos when I upload, some of them seem to rotate for some reason and I can't fix it.

Had a 1980, & a 2005, still have the 2006 Zo6 w/38k.

The GF had a 1969 Vert 427 4sp when we met,
it was love at first sight

Soon the '06 will be looking for a new home,
"life's full of chapters"

fixed then for you , if you took them with your cell phone then its the way you held it

When you use your phone open the picture up, look at it and see if it needs rotating. If it does then hit edit on the picture and rotate it then upload it. Pretty simple to do.
