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

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.
