CanuckInUSA 0 #4 January 14, 2013 I do happily and willingly consume the koolaid from a certain German automaker. But I will acknowledge that GM offers a lot of bang for the buck with the Corvette. I have never driven one at the track, but I have ridden along with them as a passenger and they are a serious track car capable of very fast lap times. But once you get to know how to drive a rear engine car at the limit, it's hard to go back. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwieder 0 #5 January 14, 2013 Lisa: The Camaro tail lights were improvised on that platform so the engineers could make a determination as to whether the consumers would accept them or not, I think we have the answer! Notice the extra window in the "C" pillar area, it gives an impression that the car has 4 seats but NOT!! The return of a spoiler since 1982 is nice as well. The car is a winner, (I've had them all, except for a C-1 ) Go Figure) I love the new dashboard as well, more carbon fibre and no more two gauge clusters, just one guage and a HUD.

Pteropuss 0 #7 January 14, 2013 So, um, why is this in Speaker's Corner? Is the government subsidizing production of the new Corvettes or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #13 January 15, 2013 I haven't cared for the Vette since 1968, but that one is nice. More of a Camaro fan, myself. I had a '77 once upon a time.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta add the 69 Corvette as the 67-68 and 69 were nearly identical. I had a 69 Convertable with a rebuilt and modified LT-1 motor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rwieder 0 #20 April 29, 2013 I'm sold on the design, was at the dealer yesterday. That's when I found out what I know now. From my years of "CorVette Experience" I know in 1978 Chevrolet made 6,802 Pace Cars, just enough for the Chevy dealers. They rat holed them and are just now turning loose of them from anywhere from 31K t/ 60K varying on the miles. I saw one on a CorVette site the other day w/ 290 miles @ 65K.
