    To quote Jeremy Clarkson on the C7 ZR1 "well done you fat blokes from backwoods Kentucky". By the way, Queen Elizabeth has come to Kentucky to buy thoroughbred horses for her breeding program on at least two occasions. At least some species are not inbred at Windsor Castle. "Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry and good ole boys drinking [Kentucky] whisky and rye..." and maybe a bucket of chicken on the side.

      The rear is really quite cool looking in person when you talk about the HTC version. the curves over top really spice it up and are more pronounced. this car has a lot of lines and not all can be shown well on camera at once like in person

    • @Luke-cb3ly
      @Luke-cb3ly 2 роки тому +4

      it is expensive, it has unique engines that are not shared with any other car (LT2/LT6), it is fast (as fast as an R8 RWD). if everyone calls the R8 V8 a Supercar, technically the C8 stingray can be one too. but I agree with you, for me the stingray is a sports car, just like the Carrera S for example. but I have no problem calling it a Supercar
