Pretty far off topic, but what would you call a smaller version of the Chevrolet Corvette, if you had to name it?
This sparked my imagination because of the two ships called Viper and Cobra, classic sports car names.
The Corvette started as a smallish roadster sports car (similar to a modern Miata in footprint), but it's footprint has grown over the years. If you kept to the nautical theme, what would you call a baby Corvette?
- thecount122195 7y agoI would say sloop maybe? Traditionally that was the next size down from corvettes but the corvette is the smallest warship. Maybe PT boat? GM tried to evoke the corvette name with the chevette but that thing was about as far from a sports car as you could get.
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoI thought of PT boats too! It's not a great name for a car, but it's short for "patrol torpedo boat," so maybe Patrol or Torpedo? I dunno, Torpedo might sound too explodey to be trusted.
- csours 7y agoHmm also PT Cruiser... not a great connotation at this point.
