Now I don't consider myself to be a petrol-head at all (as many of my friends will confirm) but that is a very nice looking car. Here's hoping you get some spare time to enjoy it Randy.

Tell the wife that the supercharger mixes more air with the fuel (true), therefore saves gas...it will pay for itself...

Couple of years ago (May 2009 actually) I posted that I had gotten a new ride when my wife surprised me with a 1990 Corvette....Well she insisted that I get rid of it along with a 1986 Corvette I had acquired last year.

Why?

So that we could get a cherry 2000 Corvette!!!:bighug:

An opportunity presented itself and we took it. Even the car is 12 years old it is nearly new having been well taken care of with only 57000 miles on the odometer (less than 5,000 per year). Everything we wanted including a factory 12 CD system. Our 1st road trip is October to the Eureka Springs Corvette Weekend with the Razorback Corvette Club out of Fort Smith

I haven't taken any photo's with me yet but here's what it looks like on the lot
SWEEET!! I read recently that Texas has some 85 mph speed limits in some areas...if you are up for a road trip.

Icy Mountain is right, 70 on area Interstates and 75 on Oklahoma Turnpikes....But the speedometer registers 200mph;)

You need to ship the car over to Germany and open her up on the German
Bundesautobahnen... NO SPEED LIMIT!!:mg: (although there is an 'advisory' speed limit of about 85mph!)

I thought superchargers just raise the pressure of the air fed into the cylinder prior to compression, and the amount of fuel injected (later) is controlled by the injection system; though I know nothing about this specific model.

However, assuming you're right - it doesn't only save money, it's also better for the environment ;)

Thats a MEAN MACHINE Randy!!!
You are lucky you don't live in Scotland, you would need an ATM Machine instead of a CD Player to pay for the gas. Over $2 a litre today.

The wife and I (Me & Judi) just spent the weekend in Eureka Springs Arkansas at the 2011 Corvette Funfest with about 1,000 other Corvetes and their owners. Somewhere around 500 of us registered our cars for the carshow (I came in 28th out of 27 cars in my class) and had a blast...One entry came all the way from Australia! Loads of fun, great people, fantastic weather.

Just for a place to go, relax and decompress, try Eureka Springs in the Ozarks

While there we also took in the Passion Play, which is known throughout the world as probably the best. http://www.greatpassionplay.com/passionplay.asp

Anyway, here are a couple shots

Judi and our 2000 Bowling Green Corvette

Me and our 2000 Bowling Green Corvette

Our 2000 Bowling Green Corvette at the show

and, there was a guys at the hotel who retired and is advertising it on his car. The shot is of his car in front of ours at the hotel...Notice the 401k on the side...It was a great laugh (It also was pumping out about 700 HP!)
