Default corvette shaped computer mouse

Hey, I've seen NASCAR styled Computer mice. Anyone seen one of a Vette? I haven't but would sure like to have one. C3 would be great, but I guess any Vette Computer mouse existed I'd go for it.

I've got one of a white C4. I think one of the Corvette parts vendors used to have them. It was a gift to me from my wife before we were married and before the C5 came out in '97. I don't know if any were made of other Vette generations.

Yeah, I've seen the C5-R one on the Internet before too. I was hoping somebody knew of a "production" style vette one. Or even just a good "hot rod" style computer mouse. Maybe I'll just buy a cheap vette model and glue it on top of my computer supplied mouse!!!

I'm guessing Mid America, Ecklers, or Corvette Central. I don't know for sure and my wife doesn't remember. Have you checked ebay?

My wife has one. It's called a "motor mouse" and I believe we got is from Mid America. Also included software such that the engine revs up and when you push the button, the horn honks.

Probably not "plug-n-play."
