Juggalo Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Love it. I'd be way too paranoid to park it anywhere, so it'd be a point A to A car for me. 1 Quote

I was thinking more like Scotland or Wales... drone footage... I actually have a cheap drone with a video camera on it, although I doubt I could keep up with you driving that thing, ...hard enough keeping it in the air sometimes let alone following something else that's moving.

RobPhoboS Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I've not driven the current gen, I love em though. I drove one in the same colour spec in the last gen, and it was soo much fun mate, I'd have one if I could. 1 Quote

GMballistic Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 So have Corvette moved on from having leaf springs on the suspension? Serious question (not taking the piddle ) because I believe they did used to have leaf springs, even on some of their more recent models within the last decade. Quote
