It won't run anywhere near as good as a supercharged gen 5 Camaro would, but she likes it and it does look really fine. If we feel the need for speed and comfort, the vette's available. You don't appreciate the differences between a new one and a 40 yr old one until you get behind the wheel.
Man, excellent decision. The 69 is my favorite (pun intended)
Wow, she knows her car...
