Why Can't They Just Leave the Corvette Alone?

OK, so I’ve changed the video. Doctor V-8 pointed out that the Avalate conversion debuted back in the 1940’s. The new video raises a more interesting question: why make these things even more powerful? Why not you say? Yes, I know: God bless America. If Corvette modifiers didn’t exist, Massachusetts wouldn’t have a warehouse Italian restaurant chain called Vinny T’s. And a damn fine spaghetti vongole they make too. Still, you gotta wonder. What’s with the gloomy music? Didn’t muscle cars come of age with Doo-Wop? Just sayin’.

    That was a perfect waste of time.

    Once the "Car Czar" gets ahold of it, you'll see a vette with a four cylinder engine and an 85 mph speedo. The performance package will be 150 hp.

    That vid was horrible. Bad choice of music (good song though), poor editing, no action.
