IF I ever drove my Vette when my wife is with me like I do every day, she would never get in again. As it is, it's not often. When we go out together we use her SUV. Frankly on an interstate I prefer sitting up high where 18 wheelers are sure to see me. Also can go over the 18 wheeler tire treads in the road that the pick-ups and SUV just go over. Even leaving enough distance when you see them it's too late to avoid. There goes a Vette splitter!

Nope my main passenger is my dog, does not mine the loud sound system and loves high speed!

I have been seeing renderings of a possible coming Corvette SUV on the internet. I know rumors. But, all I can say is please GOD no! Anyone with solid information? Opinions? Thanks in advance.

We do road trips, and we have one planned for fall in the 23 I just bought. Once I leave WA, it’s 75-80 on the interstates, and a third on 2 lane roads. I’ve never had something as fast as the Vette, but have had 3 of them that made over 160 in the magazine tests.

When it’s open 2 lane road and I pass, my wife gets very quiet. For quite a while.

Works for us.
