New Toy

I spend most of last week at the London Classic Car Show and these C2 Sting Rays were giggling at me day after day

So I sorted me one and it arrived today

I know most of us are use to power by the nature of the cars we drive but this things mental

A 66 427 Big Block Manual with skinny US rubber is a combo that commands the greatest respect

The sheer grunt and noise is epic.....I owned one some 8 years ago and had forgotten what a tool they are

Very nice Lee. Best year for a Vette.

Is that an 855R in the background?

Lovely car Lee. One of the things that got me etched in to american cars was an old corgi toy drag C2 stingray that had a graphic on the back "Lazy Bones". I think it was Orange. Pipes and all eh....

That much power, those tyres, im surprised any remain alive

Feel free to give a real in depth report. I'd love to know how that car behaves compared to others that you've owned.
