Default So I have figured it out...the C7 and the REAL truth...

Ok so I figured it out. Forget HP. Forget fuel mileage. Forget if it will have a big V8 in it. Forget if it will be front or mid engine. In fact forget everything traditional you have known from Corvette and automobiles in general.

The new C7 Corvette will in fact be the first car to FLY!
Hey it could happen!

Lots of sports cars have flown.

What they have trouble with is the landing.

True that.

In fact there was P car at Summit Point in the last few days that flew right thru a tire wall.

Turns out it wasn't an optimum maneuver.

I dunno, maybe a kind of lame thread subject . . .

Meat, we need fresh, red meat.

Photos, sketches, testimonials, quotes, verifications, leaks, etc.

Dude! Flying Corvette? That's nothing new! They had the LC4 flying option back in the 60s. It was cut after regulations by the FAA in 1974 made in-flight refueling impractical.
