Default C6 Race Car for Xmas!

OK, maybe not EXACTLY what you were thinking ... and yes, the chrome 22" bling wheels with red trim will have to go to make way for a good set of CCWs with Hoosiers, but hey, when is life ever perfect?

I haven't found the specs yet, so I don't know what the power to weight ratio is but she goes pretty good.

Cats in the neighborhood ... WATCH OUT!

Cool! I got a R/C F-117 stealth fighter! Mine is probably faster top end, but definitely cannot turn as tight!

I received the exact same one! Still in the box as I do not have snow tires for it.

Can't say for sure but my guess would be approx 15 mph.

You might be surprised. Even though this thing is 1/12 scale it has about the same turning radius as the full sized C4 sitting in my garage!

My C5R will have to be happy racing around the mouse pad

Went to the Bay State Corvette club Xmas Party and got this



They actually got it on a trip to the Corvette Museum.
