Kirk Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I cant comment on the older model vettes but i can on the C6 Z06's, they are fantastic fun to drive. Very tail happy with a shit tonne of torque and noise when you push the loud pedal, build quality isnt the best and as expected rather heavy on fuel. They do handle ok aswel.

Havard Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 LHD would be the killer for me. Would love a C5 or a C6.... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 SoopDog has a corvette,or had one. I thought it was fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 tooquicktostop would be the man to ask about that mate. Dean has the same shape as that model you linked I believe (though not a soft top). I saw it at WIM meet and it sounds beautiful with its custom exhaust! From what I gathered speaking to him, it is very juicy on petrol (expected), not great going round corners (think he said it doesn't) but the sheer torque & music from the exhaust keeps him happy. Looks pretty good too in standard form (though I am not so sure on the soft top). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra dan Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 LHD would be the killer for me. Would love a C5 or a C6.... H. dont like LHD either but would just be a weekend car so not so bad. C5 and C6 are a bit out of my price range Dean has the same shape as that model you linked I believe (though not a soft top). it is very juicy on petrol (expected), not great going round corners (think he said it doesn't) but the sheer torque & music from the exhaust keeps him happy. Looks pretty good too in standard form (though I am not so sure on the soft top). pretty much my thoughts exactly. i fancy a convertible tho never had one.

tooquicktostop Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Get one you wont regret it, The C4 is very difficult to mod which is a good thing, I love mine and is my first go to car in the morning 10 MPG is the norm, put your foot dawn (which you do a lot for the noise) you will see 1MPG on the computer A 1990 C4 or newer is the better car As for convertible or Targa, with the targa top out of mine the scuttle shake is amazing, however you just dont care Thinks to look out for Electrics, check EVERYTHING as they are weak and plenty of them Seals on doors, new are very expensive I paid $700 for a full set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The Vette does sound fantastic with a decat, without it is quite subtle, the Camaro was not so subtle My Camaro had a straight through and 5 good seats, I wish I had never sold it, I really do, such great fun for the cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I had a ride in one when I went to America last. It was my Dad's friend who owned it and was a C5. I wasn't really into cars that much back then but all I know is that it was quick or at least felt it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
