Corvette Deemed Too Much Car for Some Manchester United Players

Apparently Sir Alex Ferguson, the team's manager, believes that Chevy's most potent offering is a bit more than some of his young players will be able to handle. According to the Daily Mail, Chevrolet has offered the soccer team's top stars their pick of Chevrolet models, but the infamously strict Ferguson has issued an edict that no player under age 23 will be allowed to order a Corvette.

 

Reports that effected players reacted to the news by flopping to the ground and tearfully writhing around could not be confirmed as of this writing.

 

Regardless, a 580-hp Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in Victory red should provide more than enough flash for Man U's younger players, once the requisite 24-inch wheels with body-colored accents are fitted.
