Moving onto a V8

I hope this thread ends up with the OP purchasing a CORVETTE, I feel sorry for Lashout that over the years of recommendations no one has purchased one :(

I think I have definitely been sold on the Corvette.

I think in my heart it was the one to choose from, im just worried about the LHD but im sure i will get used to it after a while as i will get a manual not an auto, i know it would be stupid to pass on one purely for that fact.

Got to sell my GTR first but as soon as the beans come in i will be on the lookout for one and post on here.

Thanks for all the posts guys. Keep emmm coming though!
 
No :p As an example:



Not that Nürburgring times are indictive of a car that's great to drive but they can serve as some kind of vague guide.

Hell, in the States Corvettes have dominated Autocross and Gymkhana events since the Seventies.

Regarding the build quality, certainly not as good as some of its similarly-performing rivals - but then those rivals usually cost tens of thousands more, hence the higher quality materials and finish. The Corvette has money spent where it was needed to get the performance and reliability. I've always found them very comfortable though and, barring the seats and some minor trim (although it does vary), very durable inside.

Obviously a lot of it is subjective but I've been in much more expensive cars with worse interiors, or interiors that aren't as comfortable or as refined :)

One aspect people seem to overlook is how close joe public can get to these posted times. Sure it may go fast and have loads of grip but if it doesn't handle then only a pro is gonna get the best out of it

I've been keeping very quiet recently and have been quite busy so not on here much...but let's just say that you shouldn't feel so sorry for Lashout, he convinced at least 1 person to buy a Corvette :D

Yea, that's kind of what I was driving at - but it shows the potential, at least, I guess :)

Without meaning to hijack the thread (I'm simply advising the OP to buy a Corvette)

Had her a little over a month now, she's a beaut. I'll do a new thread on it at some point over the weekend with the full specs and mods etc.
 
Proper job. Yes, you do need a thread :p That's the one that was on PH wasn't it? Remember the black alloys. I thought it was a very good price.
 
I suggested one of those in another thread, both these maser's are making me hurm :cool: I'd be mad to buy one right? :o

I'd imagine they would rape your life with running costs. The 3200 does looks quite nice though. One went past me the other week, I would have followed but was in a cba mood. Sounded good though.
