This thread is welcome to all members Corvettes, post away.
67HEAVEN has an amazing car, love the mid year cars but his restomod has so much better performance.
The tech in mid 60-70's was leading edge for its time. Caveman class these days. Everybody wanted to race against my 68 thinking it MUST be a fast car. Trying to beat up on my 50 Y.O. car.

Well, after taking this car to our local road course, discovered this car sucks air, not fuel in high g turns. And I mean high g. This car will go thru the hairpin so fast you dont even see it. Car also had original fuel tank, pretty nasty in there.

Yeah, 37 is out of my price range. I see them for around 20 though. That's a lot closer to what I can pull off.

Brings to mind the 1978 Indy 500. I sat in the infield stands right across from the Start/Finish line. What a thrill to see those Corvette Pace Cars on the track. We were all on our feet as Jim Nabors sang "Back Home Again in Indiana" and they started the race. Good times.

Flying in from offshore tomorrow, need to remove drivers rear from the the C7 due to losing air. hopefully not a cracked wheel. C7 Grand Sports are notorious for OEM wheel cracks, replaced 1 under warranty already

Holley Hydromat is a God-send. Expensive and still very worth it.

When I was shopping for my Sunbeam Alpine, a 74-78 Corvette was also on my short list. Then I rode along in a '70ish 'Vette at an autocross. I was surprised how cramped the interior was. The Sunbeam has more room! Still, I'm a fan of the plastic-bumper Vettes.

C2 Corvettes have significantly more room inside than do C3 Corvettes.
