Interesting pic of the tread design on the Michelin tire, as well as the all weather testing of the 2019 ZR1’s in the snow.

No apparent “melting” of those Corvettes going on in harsh weather conditions!
Much easier when it's captured test fleet from GM and you're not making payments.

The two toned C4 was also my favorite because it reminded me of my very first Corvette. A 1985 two toned Black and Gold. I have never seen another one like mine.

Thanks Mike. Just when I begin to think I have seen almost everything you come up with something new. I've never seen or heard of a C1/2 hybrid. Was this developmental testing or did Zora craft it as a race car? Truly unique (to me anyway) and sort of cool looking.

All of those are very cool flashback photos...........but one that caught my eye was the Chevy dealership with three 1977 Chevettes parked indoors. NOT the kind of 'Vette that most people would want. Haha!!

My mother had a (then new) 1980 Chevette 4dr and I had a (quite used) 1978 Chevette 2dr a few years later. Both of them had no power steering, no A/C, crank windows, AM monaural radio, 4spd manual transmissions and 13-inch wheels.

The CHEvette was the polar opposite of the CORvette, I suppose. Haha!!
