Le Mans live coverage in car

Tony, I think you should buy a new vette, cruise around wearing a hula shirt, gold chains, and cheap sunglasses and tell everyone how superior Chevrolet is. Why you will probably have more panties thrown at you than Tom Jones.

Tony, I think you should buy a new vette, cruise around wearing a hula shirt, gold chains, and cheap sunglasses and tell everyone how superior Chevrolet is. Why you will probably have more panties thrown at you than Tom Jones.

Let's address your statement:

Buy a new vette.....could have happened

Cruise around wearing a hula shirt....like the Shelby folks

Gold chains.....not my cup of tea

Cheap sunglasses.....never, I have a huge collection of Ray Bans

Tell everyone how superior the C8 is.....dont have to facts speak for themselves

Tom Jones.....showing your age here. Wales-hailing singer from the mid sixties.  Groovy man !

You can't sell your car.....

The Ford GT, which costs $500,000, was introduced as a 2017 model and Ford handpicked a few hundred people to own the car out of the thousands that applied to purchase it.

Buyers are prohibited from selling the car for two years after taking delivery, though some have tried.

And TOUCHE  !

The Corvette has always been an immensely powerful car, and humbly so, and the C8 generation of the car is the most dramatic example of that.

Especially considering the price of the car, which is dramatically less expensive than the Ford GT, the Corvette puts down performance numbers that go toe-to-toe with the GT and sometimes even exceed it, all while being a much less expensive car that is also much easier to get your hands on.

While it might not be as light or as quick on the quarter-mile as the GT, the GT is an incredibly strong opponent, and the Corvette is still very much a world-class supercar with incredibly impressive stats that a skilled driver can make the best of, and save money doing it.

Back to the topic at hand

Lemans vroooom!

Arn'cha worried about sourcing parts in the event of a trade embargo with China? All that plastic moulding will get pricey.  Ford GT fabricated in Markham, Ontario by Multimatic. Actually not far from where I grew up.

That was just constructive advice Tony. Your preference for an alternative product line prompted me to suggest a path toward your goal.

Did you know everything is made in Shinah and assembled elsewhere?

Having said that, please take into consideration the following and say what a deal !

                C8.                             GT
MSRP.    65 595.                 500,000
H. P.          490.                         660
0-60.        2.9 sec.                     3.0
1/4 mile  11.2.                         10.8

Nope not worried about Shinah. I am told we have a solid relationship with them with our current illustrious administration.

Now off to Lemans to see the WINNERS !

Lemans !

Not a legitimate win when the drivers had to rely on the black arts and various levels of sorcery along with the blessings of Dagon to achieve the podium.

Just an FYI, When Tony says he loves me I presume it's not sexual and just a figure of speech. I don't know his leanings and its OK either way. I'm personally not on the pink team.

No worries, everything will be alright. 

Lemans  Winner !

[trotrof1]

If memory serves me SA and FORD both won in prototype in the past Lemans 24hr. Today this would be the LMH class. Has Chevrolet ever been the overall winner there?

There in lies the problem;

Think of the middle-aged guy you know that always talks about his days as a high school football player; the mom with three kids that talks incessantly about her days as a college gymnast; the retired executive that relives over and over again her/ his days as the head of a Fortune 500 company.

Living in the past is damaging to your future and makes it harder for you to enjoy the present.

Enjoy the present 

Two of my favorite things, Rolex and C8 at Lemans 2023 !

The abbreviated answer from Tony is "NO'. His exhaustive search has revealed an awful truth and calling people old wont make it better.
