The GS is maybe 50lbs heavier because it has Bose Gold, climate control and power passenger seat.

I personally think my car got SLOWER with the Corsa's.:whip:

Since you go through tire on a regular basis....maybe you were running a differant tire when you ran the better time?:huh:

The car had 19k miles when it was turning 12.7-12.9 consistently. The car was completely stock, including the bald/cracking factory Goodyear GSC tires.

For ownership history, view my sig.

As far as why I wanted one, when I was a kid, a neighbor had '65 blue vert which I believe they bought new. I kinda grew up seeing that car and fell in love with it. I've wanted one ever since.

Plus, I grew up in IL, near StL, so I always saw the latest models cruising around.

I could have TOLD you that!!!!


I am still on my first vette, even though it is not the same as when I bought it..

My 88 is my first. It was just something that I have always wanted.

After owning one, I regret going so long without one.


I have many friends who owned one through the years. I decided on an earlier c4 because of the dash cluster. Even though they are a pain I enjoy its "technological" beauty.

Oh, and I used to play Test drive on my c64. And there was a game called "vette" for the PC. That games was cool.. loved those EGA graphics..

Current 93 ZR-1 Black and by far the best one I have owned.

 

[Stingray972]

My '74 is my first. I got it for 3 reasons.....I think it's cool, it will hold it's value or increase in value, and it's different than most cars on the road and I like to be different.

Bought and fixed up (paint, interior, engine) a yellow 76 coupe in 1994 for my girlfriend (now my wife) to drive. this car was WAY too slow, so I picked up a beaten down 68 roadster in 1995 and gave it the full treatment (385 horse engine, 700R4 tranny, 4.11 rear, new brakes, polyurethane suspension and full paint/body and interior). At that time we owned 3 vehicles, all with Chevy 350's; the 2 Vettes and 72 Blazer 4x. Went back to school in 95 for my Engineering degree, graduated in 97, got a great job and sold all three vehicles to buy my C5 and a Jeep Wrangler, which got the whole off road suspension/wheels/tires and what not.

I Missed my old cars so much that in 99 I bought a 69 four speed coupe and did a frame off performance rebuild on it. I Finished that car earlier this year and within three months of being done it was sold (I got an offer I couldn't refuse). the only Vette I own now is the 97...

No more C3's for me. The next project car will be a mid-year, or a 56-57. That will come sometime after the 97 gets its supercharger and LS6 heads.
