current rates, that's £17,790 UK Pounds for a brand new 170+mph 5.7 V8 Corvette!

OK so left hand drive, but who gives a shit! So are the UK bought ones at around 44 grand.

The $ is low against the pound everyone is snapping stuff up in the states, Ebay.com is my point of choice and as long as they deliver internationally your sorted.

Oh yes, the exchange rate is very good at the mo and I think some importers might be having a hard time with cars they've had sitting around for a while, and private sellers are finding their cars are looking quite expensive!

I would certainly recommend a 'vette, I'm sure you are aware there is stacks you can do with them to make them MUCH faster with less risk than the Jap crap.

Here's a nice one at 1500hp without nitrous, but a lot of modding!:
