Re: The new corvette
Yeah, classics are another animal entirely. I was referring more to a new car.Old_Kid wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 12:01 pmAgree to a point. On the Mecum auctions they have sold Mustangs for a shyteload of money. Our 1973 Mustang Mach 1 cost $3800. and I have seen similar Mustangs sold for six figures. An outlier for sure I understand. An old fart told me the reason some of those older muscle cars appreciate is because people who could not afford them when they are young are buying them now that they have the money.Cobey wrote: ↑Fri Mar 06, 2020 7:35 amYeah, I've never understood the dudes who buy cars and look at it like an investment. Unless you're getting something incredibly exotic like a Koenigsegg, it makes no sense to me. Especially with something as (relatively) common as a z51 vette.EnLiteEndOne wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 11:32 pm My pops bought new z51 7 speed version of the last Vette and had a hard time enjoying driving it cuz he was too worries about the investment aspect.
He shoulda just spent the dough on a perfectly restored classic car instead.
GTO, Chevelle SS, Camaro SS, Super Bee, Olds 442, Road Runner, Charger, Barracuda probably fall into that category but I seldom see those selling for the high high prices of other "muscle" cars of the 60's/70's.
My boner car still remains a red '68 Camaro Z28.

Re: The new corvette
Pot holes: I have a steering wheel that works properly, due to the maneuverability of the short wheel base, low ride height and light curb weight
Deep snow: A good driver with proper tires makes this a nonfactor
Racoons: I still have a steering wheel

I saw it at the car show. I was skeptical before but was impressed in person. It does look real nice. Guy claimed you could fit 3 sets of golfclub in the trunk.Sellingguy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 2:40 pm saw it up close at the dealership last week when new tires were going on gals car.
