I did a search and on a Vette message board they blasted a guy for wanting to tow a 1000 lb trailer. Apparently GVWR is ridiculously low. Towing with a Corvette just seems like a bad idea.

Hilarious. That's pretty much the same boat as our Sport, and just a few years newer than our car.
You're right Steve. Not a lot of room around the exhaust.

I am actually surprised at how high the hitch point is on the vette. My vet knowledge is not so good, but that seems to be of a vintage that would have the 4 exhaust pipes in the center, wonder how the hitch works around that?

It ought to have the power to pull it and with trailer brakes, stopping shouldn't a problem. Might be a different story at the ramp.

That's a 21' Air/Sport which is 300# lighter but impressive nonetheless!
