It has something this new TiltonBB vette ain't got ....... a manual stick shift! A real Corvette has a stick shift and a clutch pedal!

You know there is probably NO speed limit out on the Lake Winnipesaukee frozen ice surface for driving a snowmobile or a car.
I loved sticks, and stuck with them till very late in the game, teaching my now 20-something kids to drive them as well. But the new computerized transmissions beat them on both acceleration and fuel economy. I'll take Tilton's
