I had a trailer hitch on the back of my RX-7. I used to pull a single rail motorcycle trailer with a bad-*** CBR 900RR on it to race tracks like Laguna Seca.

Maybe he's got a sweet Jet Ski :-)

Sorry that you probably won't like my old C6 Z06. It's gone now - traded in on the new C7 Z06.

Instead of towing a trailer, the C7 will be towed in a trailer.

Butt....the little tire/tool trailer worked great to get the track tires, tools, and other track support stuff to events!!

That could be a vintage accessory that is virtually impossible to find and worth MORE than the Vette itself. If installed by the dealer in 1962 before pickup, I would never remove it. Just sayin.

You probably also would not like the hitch I fabricated for my C6! Great for hauling a small trailer to hold track day tires etc. Not what I installed it for but used a similar small light trailer.

A trailer hitch. What's wrong with that? Tells me the owner probably drives it. That's what it's for. Perhaps that is a concept you do not understand.

You're right. It is pathetic. For proper towing you'll want a Big Block.

Aww, he's right. What would you need a trailer for? Just put whatever it is in - or on - the Vette itself.
