SUPRALOOPY Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Got any vids mate? I'd love to hear it running ------------------ Great work as always Dave......master of your trade for sure I dont, and my missus has the camera in Cyprus, all I can say is that on WOT it makes the 5.0L Camaro sound tame, the rear cat back from Haywood and Scott was OK but the addition of the full de-cat from Dave and John has released that V8 distinct noise from the 5.7L's Will bring the car to the Wheels in motion day, very happy with it at the moment I have to describe a C4 Corvette as one of those cars that can be brought for peanuts but turns heads everywhere and puts a smile on your face every trip which is the benchmark for a good car IMO, even when the car is actually very poor in so many other ways I'll see you at the WIM day then dude I know exactly what you mean about bad cars being good. Good cars can be good for good handling, fuel economy, reliability blah blah blah.......but a great car makes you smile . And some really bad cars can make you smile Too right mate, look forward to the meet The C4 sounds like thunder even though it would get well beat by an NA Supra, has sleak lines even though it is not pretty, and handles like it has been in a major accident I love old US muscle, and as it is as rare to see and hear a big V8 in the UK they do get noticed I also have a soft spot for old muscle yank tanks. I nearly bought a 1979 transam (smokey and the bandit type) before buying the 2nd supe, I also looked at old mustang fastbacks and the camero's around the time of the bullnose type. I was talked out of it though by my old man, so now I've decided myself that my next car will me of the american muscle variety, though considerably newer. I really fancy the ls3 2008 onwards corvette with the slightly bigger more powerful engine. Just waiting for them to depreciate down to around 20k, then I'll have one for sure For the drivability I fully agree with the latter US muscle, however for sheer fun you cant beat the old stuff, it is so much fun and has so much more soul than the new stuff:) You'll have to take me out in the C5 then, see if you can convert me back to old school older mate, C4 not C5, happy to take you out I read a lot of classic car mags, why do people drive old cars with no power, air con etc, beacuse they have a certain class/style and require commitment that gives a special return in terms of satisfaction You will not be impressed with the way it drives but only a drive out will make you know it classic US muscle is for you OMG FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well I have driven a lot of cars in my time and now the Corvette is finished I find myself getting in this every time, not something I can say about the single Supras and Skylines I have owned, the daily driver (2010 200C Merc) has been ignored every day The C4 Corvette is such a joy to cruise in, it handles traffic with easy with the lazy Auto box, it is comfortable and with the full De Cat sounds awesome and turns heads everywhere, was the best £3500 K I have every spent on a car If you fancy some summer roof off fun and a bit of American muscle I fully recommend you get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
