The only ones
These are the only vettes I've ever owned. I bought the 61 in 1983 and have used it for autocross, car shows and just fun. I tried road track with it but I felt uneasy about the tires and the high speed when everybody else is in new cars. I recently bought the 2017 GS for the higher speed track and going to Spring Mountain at the end of March to learn how to drive it.

^^^When we went to look at the GS all the colors were at the dealership and my wife wanted white and I had to agree because the vents stood out with the white. Then when I ordered the car I added the bling. The blue GS stripe matches the blue on the 61 so I have a blue 61 with white accents and a white 2017 with blue accents.
