just got done driving a 2001 yellow corvette convertable for about 15 minutes.

as you may or may not know my parents own a gm dealership. and my stepdad brought home a vette this weekend, and let me drive it.

all i can say is. O MY DEAR LORD.

sorry, this was a big deal to me, ive always loved corvettes, if you dont care. ok. but i just had to tell somebody.
thanks

 

lol that's cool. Kind of freaky too. I followed one exactly like that for about 5 minutes today. I'm surpised it was so quiet though. You'd think it was a mercedes if blindfolded. It had big cool chrome tips but I didn't hear a thing.

ya quite till you floor it. otherwise, ya mercedes quite. put it to 6grand. NICE rumble louder than the camaro

 

Sounds like you had a good weekend. My car is having problems and I can't figure it out. I posted on the General tech, hopefully somebody can help me figure this out.
Those new vettes has the worst exhaust system I've ever seen. Just the rear section has 360* on each pipe.
Still an awesome car, but I'd take an ZR-1 over a new vette, even the Z06...for now. Something about 32 valves and a 5.7L....
This is SO non-tech...oh well, I think it's our rite for having to put up with so many newbies

My parents own two corvettes. One 96 Convertible and a 67 327/350 hp stingray. I took the 96' to homecoming. HOLY CRAP! I raced my friend's Turbo 2000 Volvo (C70? It's NOT a station wagon) and other friend's 2000 Taurus SHO. Can you say "smoked?" The thing is a monster. It's quiet at idle but the thing roars at you when you step on it. I must have fishtailed the thing ten times. One time I took it out with out their permission to take my friend for a joy ride and they came home early from dinner right behind me (god, I'm a badass....not really). BUSTED. The stingray is one fast mother as well. Sidepipes <- loud as hell and sound just as sweet. I haven't driven it, but I bug my dad to take me out every weekend (he's an old drag racer) but he doesn't drive like I do (stupid teenager).

The real fun is driving his 65' GTO. Can you say "389 Tripower ram air"?

I have yet to drive a C5 but a kid at my school has one and I could bet him on something. You guys are lucky, those are sweet cars.

Oh and snuffy, have you worked out a solution for nitrous on your TBI?

Uhhmmm, let's see, you were asking if it would be possible to put a TBI setup on the LS1 out of that Corvette right? Sounds tech to me.

 

LoL, there he goes again. Nit pick nit pick. I bet ur a clean freak aren't ya. Anyways, I just wanted to thank ya for taking the time to visit my site and adding another hit to it.

Isn't it grammar rather than grammer?

Gotta ask snuf...if your folks own a GM dealership, WHY are you pushing a thirdgen RS?? Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but if I had your connections I would beg, borrow, or steal to get behind the wheel of something faster.

I'm not knockin ya for lovin your thirdgen....I sure as heck love mine....I'm just saying I would be working on starting a collection.

 

they might own a dealership, and your parents might buy you everything. but, being 20 bud. they arent GIVING me anything. i would have to BUY something faster. and i just did. today. a 69 camaro. my mom is getting a brand new one though, and my stepdad is now driving the vette everyday. so now all my family needs is a 2nd gen. so just to let you know. im not going begg them for something faster. thanks anyway. i love my 3rd gen camaro.
