You should know that Corvettes are very much appreciated in 24 h du Mans because of their sound that surpasses all other cars, the stadium vibrates as they pass.
And it's the same on the road, nobody looks at a Porsche but a Corvette, oh là là, Mon Dieu..
Flo, je pense te (re)connaître: rofl: un gars qui a une GS red et qui regrette de n'avoir pas pris une Z...hummmm...Corvette Passion !!! je me trompe ?
No Dookey, they have not pleasure to take them as they want ! they can't see a Corvette one time in a month ! but at Le Mans, we have only 4 Vettes, 2 official and 2 in GT Am and they do the show ! They are very much appreciated and people say to you after "I heard them and saw them at Le Mans, it's incredible, I shiver when they pass" lol, me too !
Why then are there not many of them on the streets? Quite simply the taxation on the car, the Vette has a huge engine, 6.2 and European cars reach at best between 3 and 5 liters (AMG...). There is the CO2 rate which is very unfavourable for Corvettes and there is a tax on it, unfortunately. That's why by being so popular in racing there are so few on roads. Added to this, the vast majority of the media are very pro-German for cars here: I have never had a German car and I will never have one: the engineers know how to run after-sales services for the benefit of their firms, it is more expensive to maintain a German than a Corvette but few know it ! and here, the price of Corvettes explode here, that's why out of 3 Corvettes I bought, this is the second one I buy directly from your country, despite all the administrative problems I had and will have. Driving in a Corvette here is a true dedication but I don't regret it, I don't regret anything, quite the contrary.
When I shall die, my bank account won't follow the hearse, so I enjoy life before because I can still do it: I'm back from far away.
mdr, l'autre fois, ça m'a intrigué et j'ai recherché à qui ça pouvait être sur CP, ça ne pouvait être que toi ; j'ai eu Mimi77 après lol.
Enfin, un vrai parcours du combattant mais bon, je ne pouvais pas achetyer chez Chassay. Si tu peux avoir une Z ou mid engine pour revenir...n 'hésite pas ! je pourrai te guider pour l'homologation, j'ai un gars

BKorsaire, quelle belle voiture! Make sure you put a video card in the slot in the glove compartment and record a video of the beautiful French countryside and include your favorite roads. Upload the video and post here so we can all enjoy. Merci!

Indeed, it's me.
No return for about 3 years but I follow your thread in CP and keep preciously all the informations you give and that you will give to import his Vette.
In the meantime, even if the roads of Norfolk and its region are not the ones in the best condition, I take advantage of my GS, in a world where there are no damn radars and police who not stop you for a yes or for a no. Not to mention the price for gasoline.
Vive l'Amérique!!!
For my GS, I am a little disappointed by the seller who didn't know how to advise me and just said "ok" when I told him that I wanted a GS, without trying to sell the model above, the Z06. Too bad, but now it's more complicated even if the Z are displayed at interesting prices.
And even though I told him that I was considering changing cars, I have no answers to my many emails.

I'' do it. I''ll return at the same place you saw probably in my introducing about my C6 GS to take the same photo breaks. I'll watch how the pdr works to take videos, there's so much to examine with this new Vette. Thank you Bobby : pouces:

Strange man your dealer !
For peace of mind, you're lucky there. Macron and his acolytes want to fill their pockets by lowering the speed from 90 to 80, there are demonstrations everywhere against this new "royal decree" or oukaze.
What I noticed on my Z is that rear indicators are Euro standards, orange, just a rear fog lamp to add. Already Euro norm the tires, windows except for the outside mirrors. My mechanic makes sure he doesn't get the ridiculous headlamp washers. The biggest work remains noise and pollution. You in the case of expatriation, you won't have to pay VAT, it's huge, so make yourself happy when you will get back !
You have my e mail on CP below each message in my signature.
