My Corvette, Emily
Originally uploaded by dwfletch.

Here are some photos of my car. She's a 1999, 12,000mi Chevrolet Corvette C5 convertible (named 'Emily', in accordance with my family's custom relating to Chevrolets). She's front-engined, rear-wheel-drive, accelerates from 0 to 60mph in just 4.8 seconds and has a top speed of 175mph. She has a naturally aspirated, longitudinally mounted, 5.7 litre, cast aluminium, V8 engine (overhead valves, two per cylinder), that develops 345BHP at 5600RPM and 350lb-ft at 4400RPM. She also has a manual, six-speed gearbox. She weighs in at just under 1.5 metric tons, has two seats and a soft top.
