To this day I remember the first Corvette I ever saw. I was coming around the corner of a gas station in the neighborhood when I saw it. It was the forth generation of the Corvette. My jaw dropped, I had never seen one before and it was instant love at first site.
My neighbor was the head of a speed equipment store back then, and actually ran his decommissioned 68 Chevelle that ran in the mid to high 10's in the quarter mile. He ran that car on the streets while he built the next one, a 70 1/2 Camaro that his new sponser had perchased. That car was running in the Super Stock catagory, the hightest one for gas burning cars. That was just befor Pro Stock replaced it for the stop class. That was an awesome care for a teenager to ride in. Who cared about girls, I was in a street legal, mid 10 sec car.
But seeing that first Corvette started a love affair which is still with me today. I have a feeling that they will still be building them when I am gone.
But there are two models that I covet the most.
And of course the ZR1
