The New Corvette

That;s the sweetest Fiero I've seen in awhile, complete with scorched panels from the last engine fire. This one's got a nice luggage rack!

It looks much more 'murican in that ^^^ video than in the other shots... all those little corners. Still better than most 'vettes

The coolest Fiero was Don Johnson's in Miami Vice. The replica kit was done here in East Tennessee. Ultimately landed the manufacturer in hot water with Ferrari.

That styling looks like the mashed up test tube spawn of a Corvette (front), Camaro (rear), and attempt to splice in a Ferrari (sides). But, hey, they made sure it could still hold a set of golf clubs.

I take it the new vette will still have an FG body ?

I am pretty sure those Fiero's had plastic body panels bonded to the car so it was easy to make new panels in whatever shape you wanted

That's a good thing but will they offer a towing package ?

What about crossbars that my Thule box will fit on?

Been thinking the same: the ugly is probably only skin deep. Pity the canvas is unlikely to be repainted by the likes of Pininfarina.

coachbuilders don't have the talent they did.

I had a good buddy who worked hard made the $$$$$$ went from the hot firebird to the jag xjs, he said he got more looks from the women driving the firebird but he got different looks in the Jag ...knowing looks

Call me what you will, I won't deny it (I'm a Mustang fan, after all). But these two cars look identical to me:

True. On the upside, the mediocre ones will manage very good fitup with all those scanned and printed bits. So there will be options. Over under on how many F8 kits come out in 2020? 2.5?

I’ve never been a vette fan but this one is intriguing. Like a 9/8th sized NSX.

Uuuuh, 1) forget cars with the moderately low redline. And 2) if you can't shift fast from 1st to 2nd gear to hit 60mph, well, you need more practice. I would still buy the used Turbo 911 over the Chevy.

Seriously. It's one gear. I simple rowing motion fore to aft. Sure, it'll cost ya a fraction of a second but it's still easy peasy to blast off with a manual. Me thinks that most have forgotten how easy it actually is to drive a manual aggressively (yes, even high powered sports cars), and are perhaps intimidated since they've been driving their wife's CUV for far too long. Now they're worried about sacrificing that 1/2 second on the stick shift driven car they're not going to buy anyway.

Not sure if this has been posted, I just came across it. Jay's looking pretty old but the car looks pretty fresh. Cool that the roof comes off. The interior doesn't seem that bad. I think it's good-looking, certainly better than Camaro or Mustang imo.

Saw this beauty parked when I got a hair cut (actually got them all cut)
I work in the Ferrari capital of Canada. Woodbridge Ontario has a huge italian population and many a millionaire and billionaires. Seeing a Ferrari is not uncommon.

The principle owner of the dealership is Remo Ferri and his partners that helped him get the franchise are the Ferrero Rocher company. What are the odds ?

Back in his early days sales were not great but steady and because most of the people that owned a Ferrari would baby them. The joke was he made more money doing the value jobs then he did in sales. Now he's killing in both departments.

Yeah, Jay aged ten years in like two.

Looks much better in that color.
