Anyone flat towing a Corvette?

My brother has a 15 and he has to practically crawl over small hump in my driveway or it will scrape. I can't imagine how a car with that tendency could make a good toad. But in answer to the question no I don't know anyone using a corvette as a toad.

I flat towed a '63 Split Window coupe from Butkburnett, Tx to Michigan City, IN, to Merced, CA to Spokane, WA while on active duty. A welder in the Wichita Falls, TX fabricated the "base plate" and tow bar for me. The drive shaft on the Corvette had to be removed in order to tow it. A full size '69 Plymouth Wagon - 383 engine, auto trans, was my tow vehicle. It towed very well, no supplemental braking, no problems.

You might want to read the manual page 4.31 and look for another vehicle. The 2001 model requires that you put the manual trans in R and set the brake and then you can turn off the switch. Engine does not shut off if steps are not follow. Automatic has it own set of rules also. We do have a local owner (not sure of the year) that has a tow hitch on it and he does tow a glider in a trailer.

I'm considering replacing my current towd, an '06 Miata, with a c5 vete. It would be a stick so I'm thinking that it could be towed but don't know if there is a base plate for it . . I'm looking at a real nice '01 valued about the same as my Miata. Bob

Not sure where you would connect any tow bars, all fiberglass and plastic or carbon fiber... a fancy enclosed trailer would be more like it....

I'd be willing to bet nobody makes base plates for it since I doubt there is a lot of interest in towing them. Not to mention are Vette tires usually only good for about 15k miles? May make more sense to get a car trailer?

Your Owner's Manual should be able to answer your question. Personally, I've never seen a Vette towed.
