Thanks, yeah, its a 95 with the LT1 engine. 300 hp and 340 lb ft of torque... Pretty darn fast. I got lucky with this find, it had less than 100k on it...

Actually its a 95... but yeah, so its an auto...but its still a corvette... its so hard to find a manual in these cars. And the manuals had this thing that pops the gear shift from 1st to 4th during normal driving to help save on gas which i think would get annoying... Its much much faster than my celi could ever dream of.

Thanks for all of your comments...!!!

Thanks! Im sure with the mods you have, yours is pretty quick... I drove a friends 3rd gen 3sgte mr2 and it was quick but not that quick. I couldnt get traction on 8 in wheels... He can run a low 14 1/4... with exhaust, headers, ect...

He could probably pull on me from a 40 mph start but only til about 80.... but after that, no way...

yes i have.....defgephs 3sgte...and also presure2's 5sfte....they would have NO chance against a vette that was ACTUALLY trying. (no offense to them but its STRAIGHT numbers...400hp>250whp)

Actually, this model of corvette has 300 net hp... but it also has 345 lb ft of torque... The numbers are 0-60 in 5.2 and 1/4 mile in 13.5... stock 3sgte on gt4 could run 14.5... On our celi's that is less traction but less weight... I would expect the same numbers from a stock 3sgte engine...

i believe defgephs best is 13.9 on the quarter.

Not really having run the vette, i dont know...it feels really quick and capable of those numbers but it may take a pretty skilled driver to run a 13.5 or 13.6...maybe once i learn how to drive it to its full potential...

You might have run against the same gen but the model i have has the LT1 which was used in the 92-96

Talk about a change. Hey! Lemme know how much it is going to cost you to fix it when it has engine trouble. I hear corvettes can cost more to fix, then what you paid for them. But hey, if that's how you roll, that's how you roll. My dad had a string ray, but sold it when he was a druggie. He was dumb. Still has a 50' Chevy Panel though. I think that is what it is called. I dunno.

well, hopefully i wont have any engine trouble anytime soon... I took it to the mechanic and they said its in great shape and that all it needs is a tune up and a serpentine belt... But yeah, i will have to pay a pretty penny on it if the engine ever goes, but hey, its worth it to me...

Hmm... while working at an AutoPart store, Chevys and Ford where the # 1 automobiles that we had parts for. Mainly cuz they kept breaking down. You would see repeat customers every other week cuz there truck or car kept croaking out. Imports are the way to go, Dogmestic....Stay Away!

Yeah, i know... I kept saying to myself that i would only buy foreign but i drove this and couldnt resist... This was after I had driven a 300z, a 94 N/A Supra, and a 97 325i bmw...

I may have to do more to maintain it, but its a heck car... Lucky for me, i guess, im a mechanic and have worked on many LT1s so Im pretty familiar with the engine. So I will do most of the work myself (except major issues). After going through almost everything in the engine today, i see that all it needs right now is a tune up (plugs, wires, rotor cap, ect.), and a serpentine belt... All routine things... Oh and the speed sensor is also leaking just slightly so i will replace that too, but not a big deal

Nice clean ride.

...It is funny to see how people always mention power stuff, 3sgte, comparisons etc.. but what about HANDLING? -- If I had to guess, the Celica would be better than the corvette on a really curvy road. The Corvette probably has a little bit of a "boat" feel? ...correct me if i'm wrong.

Well, stock for stock the corvette and the celica are about even... The vette has more traction than the celi (due to 9.5 in wide wheels in back and 285/40s) but weighs considerably more. Now, i rode in my friends vette the other day (same model, year, engine) but he had a performance suspension on it and it was much much better than my celica with eibachs and kyb struts. His vette sits much lower than the celica and the vette only weighs 3200 lbs (pretty good for a huge v8). Also, the fact that the vette has a 49/51 weight dist. whereas the celi has a 62/38(this plays a huge role when going through corners at speed. Where the celica would majorly understeer, the vette can push through the corner with very little to no understeer. the vette defininatly feels better on the road than the celica. Just my opinion (numbers may show opposite)

Also my celica tips the scales at 2850 lbs because it has power everthing, leather and moonroof...

Yeah I guess it is. I mean you got a real fast vehicle that doesn't need any work really. I am happy for you.

Hey wow! Thats impressive, i dont think i would keep up very easily... Yeah, the ZR1s can run a high 12 sec 1/4 when tuned well with a good driver... The driver makes the difference alot of the time... A really good driver could probably get the vette into the high 12s to low 13s...

Out of curiosity, how wide are your wheels? I had so much trouble trying to keep traction in the mr2...

#29

8.5, but you dont need width my friend, you just need a real tire, and proper launch control...

Mig, Im sure jeff would run a much better time than 13.9 if he had good tires, I remember seeing his falken zeix ze512's spin like crazy, get some track 15's with BF drag radials and it will make a big difference.

All this corvette talk makes me want to buy this 1996 GrandSport i saw locally:

Well, once i get my car back, we should meet up. I will have some major suspension and power upgrades then. But yeah, you have got a very nice ride.
