I get a nice jolt after driving my Grand Sport. Just today a guy in a parking lot asked "Excuse me, what kind of engine is in that car?" I told him a 436HP LS3..I always get stares, kids in cars turn their heads to look at my gorgeous widebody. It's like a supermodel on the road..

I think the Corvettes keep us young and, yes, certainly invigorated! Hubby is 73, and I'm about to turn 69. Not kids by any stretch of the imagination but do love our Corvettes!!

Mine is a black 427 Convertible, and I raced a little yesterday, at the track, of course, and beat a ZR1, and a Nissan GTR!!!!!

The unholy wail of the LS7 is incredible.

Especially when I'm on the track!

I agree,although I truly enjoy the performance of my corvette,it never comes close to the rush of a 1000cc sportbike. That is just pure adrenaline,especially on the track.....!!
