Lovely sound, but you can't have a corvette in the UK.

It's as garish and inappropriate as meeting the queen in a mankini.

A 'Vette is very much on the radar...

... if only to be able to have fitted an improbably named Billy Boat Bullets exhaust!

Owning a Vette is much like wearing a moustache in terms of what it says about you, particularly the poorly educated bit ...

The 'BEST' american car in my view, I am sure I heard him wheel spinning as he was into second gear , so much torque in those cars, and as you say unbelievable sound ... buy one !

Lovely machine, very much on a short list for the future.

You just missed a Lingenfelter for sale on Pistonheads last month, didn't look expensive either, think it was around the £34K mark.

Very likely. But they look shit. IMHO.

The 'Vette is - from most angles - a fantastic looking car; the worst part of the design is the Ferrari 360 lookey-likey headlamps.

The interior is nothing great, but being a Honda and Toyota driver I know can live with that.

Yeeeeee- Haaaaaa.
