Hi Eric,
Thanks so much for your interest in my thread. The car has been in my
posession for only 12 hrs . I am only trying to learn this car. It`s
something I have always wanted .........and now own.
I am on this NG to try and gain some knowledge on the car. Performance
that I stated of this car is personal as I have nothing to compare it to. I
was personally happy with it`s performance. I am love with this car. I wish
I could give you more info right now. I will give information and
experiences as I learn more about this car as I do restorations. I am pretty
`green" on Corvettes but now have one in my garage. Going to go hug it
before heading to bed...G`night...regards Jim

I remember those dang "turbine" wheels from the `70s.
LOL

I dont find this photoset entertaining, nor any humorous words can be thought up to describe the unfortunate incident. I personally do not know the owner of this car, but i feel for him…deeply. Those who have been jacked i the past should be rather disgusted at these kinds of sights, and should feel a deepened hatred towards those who steal.
The brighter side of this story that, im assuming-
the owner can afford a GT-R, so can afford full coverage insurance,
The thieves will have a VERY hard rime selling the rims (rare)
atleast they didnt take the whole car
