that's a difficult question to answer.......

There ARE the race cars.......such as the funny cars.....but GM really doesn't 'build' them per se.

My first thought is the CERV III (Chevrolet Engineering Research Vehicle) (there are a total of 4 CERVs.....1,2,3,and 4.

The CERV three resides in our historic collection.

It is a dual supercharged midengined LT5 (that's the ZR1 engine) with 4 wheel steering....active handling.....and a ton of pther interesting stuff. What's more amazing is that the vehicle was built in the late 80s........

BUT........I could be wrong.

The Firebird 1, 2 and 3 all had turbine engines.....they kinda sound like a Pratt and Whitney jet engine starting.........they also reside in the GM collection...I have no idea of what their top speeds are or what the rated HP is......but they were built in the 50s...and they kinda LOOK like aircraft!
