From Our President...
Members,
I hope you were able to stay warm during the Polar Vortex that impacted the lower 48 states in January. During this cold season, it can be challenging to find automotive events. Recently, at the Barrett-Jackson auction, there was some surprising action: a Base 2013 C6 was sold for $330,000, and the reason for this hefty price tag remains unclear. The car has only 16 miles on it, which seems to be its only noteworthy feature.
In exciting news, the Corvette nameplate has launched the ZR1 edition of the C8. It's astonishing to think that you can acquire a 1,000-horsepower car simply by writing a check. This was previously unheard of for a vehicle that is both street-legal and warrantied by an OEM. Given the capabilities of the base C8 Stingray, the variants produced—including the ZR1, E-Ray, and Z06—are nothing short of amazing. It certainly raises questions about what might be coming next with the C9.
On a club business note, please remember that you can attend membership meetings via Zoom. During these dark, cold months, and with unpredictable weather here in Michigan, this ensures you can still participate without having to brave the elements. And for our Snowbirds who have escaped the winter weather, this is a reminder that you can also log in and join us.
Remember to wave!
Kyle Felts
