No its not....better go back and actually READ what car you have. Its a pony/muscle car...The Corvette is a sports car.

OP...go for it, then post a pic. Sit back and watch the frenzy of flatulent arguments...remember to have a beer and popcorn at hand!

You aren't alone... I've been contemplating a hidden hitch for the exact same reason. I already have the tranny cooler but was wondering about exhaust clearance. All I know is it will have to go on the Z because there aint no way in hell it's going on the Benz

Maybe it is an age issue but growing up in the south in the seventies and early eighties when rear wheel drive and v-8s where the norm, I use to see people towing with passenger cars all the time. One of the first things my Dad did when he bought his first big car, a 78 Pontiac Catalina, was put a trailor hitch on it. Of course back then the very first thing you did with a new car was cut off the cats and punch out the restricter plate under the gas cap so you could fill up with the cheaper leaded gas.

Dont do it. I have seen it on a few F cars, and even a BMW... but that doesnt make it right!

Save up to ship, or pay for transportation.

I need to buy a hitch for my t/a because I'm getting tired of putting my bike in the back I already have the rack because I had a hitch on my gtp and the only thing I used to carry around is my bike, I might buy a sea doo or something thought.
