Well, yeah, sorta..... so, I roll down the windows on my C7, put a piece of paper in the passenger seat and drive at 80... what happens with the paper? It flies around the cabin or flies out the window....
I roll down the windows on my 28-year-old Ferrari 328 GTB, put a piece of paper on the passenger seat and drive at 80 - what happens is 180° out from what happens in the C7. The paper gently flutters a bit in the breeze...
Now, don't get me wrong, I really like my C7 (sixth Corvette)... but the old F-car does some things even better than the new kid on the block.
