the Vette aint bad either;^) Does the SSR really sound like a stock car? That would be a good selling feature.

I've wondered about the actual possibility of being able to drive a car onto a moving ramp that way ever since night rider... If you've got the truck with the ramp and the Corvette travelling at say 100km/h and then the corvette drives onto the ramp. As soon as the corvette is completely on the ramp would its speed relative to the ground not double? For a brief period of Time the corvette would be travelling at 200kms/hr. I assume if it was possible, you'd have to go hard on the brakes as soon as you get on the truck, but the idea of travelling at 100kms/hr on the back of a car hauler and getting it down to zero on that slippery steel surface before you hit the cab seems a bit scary to me.

Do you think its possible? I'm sure somebody here (or who used to be here) has tried it or at least thought about it!
