The Chevrolet Corvette is an American Icon. I always wanted one when I was a kid. When I graduated college I finally got one. It was in 1992. I bought it new. I still have it (2016) and it only has 80,000 miles on it. It has the OLD LT1 engine in it. It has the Chevy LS motor which is entirely different than the new 2015 LT motors in Corvettes. It was not America's favorite body style. In the mid 80’s Chevy changed to this body style and changed it again around 1997. The first cars of this body style were WAY under powered. That was the “Port Tuned Injection” motors. They only had around 200 hp and 200 ft. lbs. of torque. The 1992 had a fairly good 300 HP, but an AWESOME 400 ft. lbs. of torque. Torque is what sets you back in the seat, not HP. The car performs very well. It drives like it's on rails because it is so wide and low. The performance of this car is exceptional. The interior of this car is like a fighter jet cockpit. Despite the plain exterior, the car lives up to the Corvette name as far as performance and luxury goes. You can really get a good deal on these cars right now as they are not people's favorite.

I grew up loving the Chevy Corvette. The lines of the C3 body, the model produced from 1968-1982, called to me like a siren of the sea. Though it has the word Stingray on the side, it is no bottom feeder. The 'Vette exudes the menace of a shark, and roars like a lion when unleashed. Over 35 years old today, it still can smoke a newer machine off the line. Nothing feels as gratifying as leaving some fool a Honda Civic in a cloud of exhaust, and nothing does it quite like the 'Vette. T-tops are one of the greatest ideas in automotive history. They don't leak or make a lot of noise like convertibles, and the car looks slick with them off. A car of this year can be had now for a much cheaper price than when I bought mine. Anyone who is a fan should buy. Even a fixer-upper is an improvement over that old SUV or sedan leaking in your driveway. Those old engines run well when maintained, and will treat you as good as you treat them. Oil that baby and listen to her purr! Find one. Buy it. Love it.

The motor on this thing is great. There's no problem accelerating in this thing. It has a removable top which can be stored in the back trunk area. It has a long sleek hood with hide-away head lights. If you are a big person, it is rather cramped, but once you find your spot just right, you're good to go. There is plenty of room in the trunk area for such a small car. The car has good view all around considering the back hatch is just one big window. It has a small tank so it doesn't cost a whole lot to fill up. Maintenance and parts are a bit pricey since it's an older vehicle. The car really is fun to drive and responds to pedal pressure nicely. The breaks worked just fine, maybe a little better than others since it was built to run fast. I did feel pretty safe in it since I did have a lot of control over it, and you can squeeze into a tight spot if you really have to. However, if you hit something, it's older style, non-crumbling, parts would make you absorb a lot of the impact. The low build of the car also is unforgiving if you run under a 18-wheeler or other vehicle towing a tall trailer crossing the street in front of you, or in the case of an 18 wheeler, hitting it from behind can be deadly.
