    Yeah my son was ever so slightly disappointed to find out it was a 2019.

    The mid-engine does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.

    This one is a meager 3.6. Lol

    Only non-witches get due process.

        Yeah, Enterprise has some sweet rides. Rented from them for 20 years.

        How is the ride? Used to be like a truck.

          I've always been deeply suspicious of anybody who referred to a car as 'she', and this thread is doing nothing to allay my fears.

          I was only joking

                  Very cool thing to do with the boy. I'm sure he loved it.

                            @Horace Probably didn't quite break 100. But this was on relatively busy Westchester roads.

                            Where we tested it is on acceleration. Man does this thing growl when you punch it. We rented a Mustang GT and a Camaro SS before but this puts them to shame.

                                  His bestie's dad drives one. They will accelerate well but without that growl. Not the same.

                                    Style over substance, then.

                                    When I drove the 'Vette, I was impressed with the sound and growl. That's purely psychological, of course. If it sounds more powerful, it must be more powerful. Numbers be damned.

                                    As D'Oh (remember him?), or was it Klaus, commented on TOCR, there's a lot of money spent on tuning the sound of the exhaust and engine. Never understood that, and you can get off my lawn.

                                        Man, that redefines cool!
                                        So I'm curious. When you lay down at night to go to sleep, in the back of your mind, isn't there a little bit of "damn, maybe I should just buy one." ??
                                        I would just dwell on it, until I somehow rationalized buying one, or even leasing. To hell with common sense.

                                          Not really. It’s so damn impractical. I am thinking about a new car though. But I need to carry bikes on it.

                                          But maybe I’ll rent something awesome every couple of months while the boy is in this phase and we aren’t traveling.
