I’ve heard of the company before but outside of Top Gear or the magazines most people wouldn’t have any idea.

Need to show this to my wife. Then when I retire and ask wife about buying a Corvette it won’t be as much as a shock.

I saw the car on Jay Leno’s Garage. It’s sweet.

I saw an earlier version of the SSC on Jay Leno’s Garage.

Who makes their engine? Do they buy it from someone? How could they possibly have a foundry/machining center to make 150 motors?

Nelson Racing engines.

Watch out for the light weight wheels on the GS and ZR1. Lots of problems.

At $1.9 million, I think they can afford a short run at a foundry.

Cool car @VDCdriver, thanks for the post!

Friend of mine owns a 2017 Stingray. I drove it for a few days. The Stingray is MORE then enough car for me.

I’ve actually been looking (easing my wife into it). I can get a C7 with under 20k miles for under $45k. Here in the North East people store them from October to May to avoid snow.
