I wouldn't buy one because I don't care for a Corvette.

DETROIT, March 21 (UPI) -- General Motors is suing a small Ohio company for building replica versions of its iconic Corvette sports car, court documents show.
Mongoose Motorsports of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, specializes in replicas of the 1963 Corvette Grand Sport, the rarest Corvette model. Only five originals were built, and they sell for millions when they come up for auction, The Detroit News reported Sunday.
Carol Shelby also tried to sue SuperFormance (out of South Africa) for their replica of the Shelby. Never did come to pass. LOL...in fact, our glove box was signed by him.....He supposedly didn't like the cars, yet showed up at shows and did autographs. (Crotchiest old man you ever want to meet!)
I wish they would make a 1963 -67 stingray with a LS7 which at 7.0 liters makes 427 CID and a 6-speed throw in a C6 Z06 suspension and brakes and sell it for 55-60K and it would be a huge seller
I'm betting the replica handles and performs better than the original.
I'm sure any brand new replica is going to handle better then a 47 year old car.

However, I am not usually impressed with replicas on any make of car.
