Soop Dogg Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Nice, you have to be prepared for some insane fuel consumption with a big V8 my Vettes computer used to show 1mpg when on full chat !! My Camaro was a bit better, both sounded awesome With foot to the floor pulling away in 1st, mine will do that too, but overall in the last year I've managed to average over 25mpg for more than 8,000 miles. The bulk of that is just local driving in Norfolk with a couple of long runs on holiday to France etc, so a good mix of driving. If I really worked at it I could get cr@p fuel consumption! With services coming in at just over £100 a time (no major service until 100,000 miles - could that be because they're confident it's reliable??) and insurance under £340 (not a specialist policy or limited mileage) I really can't complain. As for the looks, I said earlier I don't expect it to be to everyone's taste, but I like it - and that's what matters with all of our cars.

j_jza80 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'll raise your Mustang video with this one: (check out 0.15!) [video=youtube;63xj-gfajtQ] The '03 / '04 SVT Mustang Cobra 'Terminator' really is a special car, and one of very few that could claim to be even more tuneable than a MKiv Supra.

Chris Bailey Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 What sort of power do them C4 Vette's put out in standard trim? 300bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 See i do know my stuff about cars (Some of the time ) It's tuned port (multiport) injection though - direct injection is a much more recent thing and hasn't yet been included on a production Corvette.

tooquicktostop Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 What sort of power do them C4 Vette's put out in standard trim? 300bhp? Not quite that much actually, it was the best sounding car I have owned so far however and it put a smile on my face every time I drove it, never should have sold it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 My favourite 'Vette is probably the C4 Callaway Sledgehammer , though the Grand sports look very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
