I Have A Soft Spot For Vettes

[Roy]

Rather then whore another persons thread...i have loved Vettes since i was a little kid. Mainly because they are a horn looking sports car that you can tweak with lots of go fast bits....not so easy or cheap to do if you have a Porsche/Ferrari etc

But the new Vettes seem to actually be good cars...no imagine what the tuners are going to do with a decent base...1018hp

Or standard...

[Smurf]

From everthing I have read the current corvette's are good alround sports cars. saw a couple of new ones while in Canada and thought they looked quite good. Wide and low, how sports cars should be.

The only question i believe is over quality of materials and build quality, though I could be wrong about this.

vettes are mad cars. my cousin's getting a C5 convertible. i prefer the older shape ones and even better the older stingrays

[Mr. Keets]

69 Roadster was the last decent one they made until the ZR-1. Pretty much lost interest after the C5...*yawn* styling meh

[Roy]

Older the better, though how do i go about affording one ?

[scandyflick]

C3 = sex on wheels.

but the C4 ZR1... i wouldnt say no

[Rexx]

ZR-1 oh man (drooling)

the only thing I like better than that was the Slegdehammer by calloway..

I just love vettes.

[scandyflick]

those times are fairly impressive, even for todays standards.

but still, ZR-1 FTW.

[R-SPEC]

correct me if i'm wrong but the ZR-1 was the only C4 that came with a manual gearbox (6-speed) that's why you never see any manual C4s

?

They came with manuals from their release. From 84 to 88 they came with Doug Nash 4 speeds that had electronic overdrices on the top 3 gears, giving them 7 speeds.

From 89 onwards they came with the same ZF as the VN Group A Commodore and ZR-1

I think a friend's dad's selling his 80's Corvette, if you're interested....
