    I think I need a Corvette

    Discuss.






    If my wife were ever to see this post, I would probably not wake up tomorrow.

    My mom let my stepdad get four corvettes, if that helps.

    it really depends which Corvette...

    we talking some 80's Stingray, or like a 2009 ZR1?

    Re: I think I need a Corvette

    I guess it all depends upon your income and what model you want.

    If you have enough money I say go for it. However, if it puts your family in a financial bind I wouldn't do it.

    Re: I think I need a Corvette

    Well I have a gas guzzling truck that will be paid off in 2 months and only has 63,000 miles on it. I have to have that truck for work, so I am keeping it. I am just thinking about getting another car to run around in instead of driving the gas hog. I have just always wanted a vette....and they get decent gas mileage.

    Re: I think I need a Corvette

    so i'm hearing you want one from at least the mid 90's with the LS1 and the 6spd

    those aren't necessarily that expensive

    maybe harder to finance though, if you are into that sorta thing

    buying a Vette to save money on gas has to be one of the funniest things i've heard in a while though.

    do you have a good divorce lawyer?

    Re: I think I need a Corvette

    I just found a whole bunch of Z06s from the mid 2000s on Autotrader that were priced in the mid-$20s.

    Damn, I should get one. I wonder if I could run one on OVJ.

    I'd love a new ZO6 or a 60's model with a 427. However the best Corvette has got to be the Sledgehammer.

    they've done more lately. Lingenfelter made a twin-turbo that beat an F-18 to 60



    that's kinda old though but still sub-2 second 0-60, damn
