HAHA! Says the guy who seriously considered a C4 :P



I's take a C4 over a Camaro of the same vintage.  You wouldn't?
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

91+ I'd go Corvette. 84-90 I'd go Camaro...The earlier C4's don't do much for me in the styling department and performance through the 80's wasn't dramatically better than the Camaro (although, admittedly it was better). In 91 (I think) when they face lifted the C4 it became a lot more appealing to me, and by that point all the major drawbacks had been sorted.
Usage is a factor too...by F-bodies have all been daily drivers, my Corvette's (two C3's and one 92) were not. The f-body is more comfortable and way more practical for the daily grind.

Just the redesigned interior for the C4's was enough for me. Interior came in 90 and the body refresh came in 91, Then 92 seen the LT1 V8. C4's used to be a screaming bargain down south.

I've always found the styling of those Callaway cars ... a bit challenging

A scratch build MG T-series replica? Might be a challenge to get it registered for road use here in Alberta. Neat project though.

Yup, a friend has a love/hate relationship with his '86 Vette, at the moment the weird overdrive unit on the POS  Doug Nash  4+3 tranny is pooched.

They are still fun to drive though.

Thats sweet, but for under $30k you can build one from scratch.

Not much less, and this one is done.  I'd save the time and just buy a finished one that's documented in it's restoration.

I'm watching this auction on eBay. It's a 1981 Honda Accord LX with less than 5k miles on it. Current bid is over $21k USD. Auction wraps up at 9 pm, Central time.

Is that ever neat. 21K is a lot of bread for it though. Makes me wonder what my 8,000 mile 93 Cavalier will be worth in another 10 years lol.

That is an expensive Accord. Very well preserved though, great to see.

I came across this the other day, would love to hear the story on it as a base model v6 Camaro is a very strange car to preserve to this degree....

I love time capsule cars. That Camaro is amazing, the fact it's just an ordinary V6 model is very appealing to me.

That's disgusting! What would a Prelude go for then? or an Acura Legend?

Why is that disgusting?  Did you look at the pictures and read the details?
