Yenko Corvette
Didn't see any posts on this, so FYI for anyone that might be interested.
I'm one of those "old" folks that is not big on the all-black color scheme
, but I do kinda like the color combination on this one.

Bad axx for sure. But 46K seems like a lot. Dodge is bringing out a new version of the Hellcat, called SRT Demon. Also supposed to be 800 ponies. Sounds like a good roll race to me

I'm not a big fan of black cars either, but the black/orange theme and Yenko provenance (name used under license, and the actual performance increases and not just a sticker/cosmetic package) makes the difference.

SLP should build an SLP Corvette... Not a "Yenko" Corvette. Don Yenko was the man behind the Yenko Supercars. He died in 1987. Just because you bought the rights to the use his name, doesn't make it a Yenko. Without Don there can't be any new "Yenko" anything in my opinion.

^^^ Then I guess you feel anything named Zora is out and Callaway's days are numbered.

I saw a "Yenko Nova" (roughly a '69 to '71 model based on the looks of the body) for sale on one of those classic car web sites........but I honestly never knew there was such a thing.
They are known for the Camaro and perhaps a rare Chevelle -- so why not a Corvette too?
P.S. FWIW, Don Yenko has passed away just like Caroll Shelby - but the nostalgia behind the name will probably live on for many years to come.
