Day 55 of the #365in2025 challenge.

My dream car!

A red Corvette is parked on black pavement. The hood and trunk are open, with many people surrounding the vehicle. The door is also open. Palm trees are visible in the background under a cloudy sky.

The image features a red classic car with its doors and hood open, showcasing its interior and engine. It has shiny chrome wheels, and it's parked in what seems to be an outdoor car show setting, with several people gathered around. The background includes palm trees and people observing, dressed in casual attire.

Who'd have thought that the 1978 Corvette was a compact car?

Down the rabbit hole researching cars again - as one does. Been on a kick of collecting brochures for the first generation Mercury Cougar, C3-C4-C5 Corvettes, first and second generation Camaro and Firebird, European Ford Capri, and Fiat X1/9.

I found it interesting that the Cougar brochures directly called the car a 'sports car'. I was surprised by this. It could be marketing mis-nomer or appropriation. Nowadays I think we consider these a muscle car or a GT car if you are of that mind set. But not 'sporty' per se.

I also read that they were successful in SCCA Trans Am racing. So much so that Ford pulled the plug on the Mercury racing team after the first season or two in order to allow the Mustang to prevail.

They are the same car under the skin - the only dynamic differences would be the longer wheelbase and the longer front and rear over hangs. Would affect high speed stability and polar moment of inertia I guess.
