It's got an Active Handling System for traction & control loss that calculates where the driver wanted to go, where the car's actually going, and then fires the brakes individually, like Space Shuttle braking thrusters, to compensate.

A week or so ago I was bitching about having to drive an SUV because I needed to haul band gear to gigs. Someone (I forget who, hence my taking it out on the entire community), told me a tale of owning a Corvette and hauling a trailer to gigs. Well, that got me to thinking, and I came to the conclusion that I could just buy an old beater van to haul gear to gigs. Consequently, I just ended up with one of these last night. http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/model_coupe.htm[^] You guys are a reeeeally bad influence on me... :-) Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

Repeat after me: [1] Mid-life crisis :-O [2] There goes the environment :( But despite [2] I do like the looks of the Corvette, especially the 92/93/94 era. I hope you enjoy it, don't put your foot down until you have 5,000 miles on the clock. :rose: Old Simon HB9DRV

This sounds very much like an open invitation for all of us to come around for a short test-drive. Hmmmm - 340.000 users times 15 minutes = about 10 years. Guess you're gonna be busy. See ya ;)
But just think how well tested it will be! :-) Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

Well, I hope you enjoy it. Just make sure the van is good enough to get you there. My brother did that (the old van) and the number of times I had to tow him with my pickup, well too many;) "We are what we repeatedly do. excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Aristotle

However, I should be able to spend a few grand and get something reliable, if not glamorous.

I envy you... I have about 6 year before I can get my Vette... when my daughters have ummm left the house :) If they really ever do... Dave "Dak Lozar" Loeser When access is allowed to a member, it said to be accessible. Otherwise, it is inaccessible.

You don't have as many toys, but you have family. I suspect you're getting the better of the bargain between the two of us.

You make me sick. X| We have a corvette "fun fest" where I live (Effingham, IL) every summer. If you ever drive that jaloppy to it, come look me up.
