My Corvette search

[MostMint]

Corvette TCV way too high. Need to look at the Chump rules - pick a fast one.

Have you guys ever seen any cop cars racing out there? How do they do?

Never seen any running around.

Any 93-97 Ford Probe GTs make the circuit?

Small 2.5 V6 but car was already light from the factory. Was a very fun car on the street.....all 156K miles of it.

Everybody else drove theirs into the ground too, apparently. Very few on craigslist, considering there were a million of them on the road. Or maybe they just lived up to their nameplate -- Found On Road Dead

I really enjoyed that car. I'd like to see Ford re-introduce it with their EcoBoost V-6 as it would be a total blast to drive. (Won't ever happen.)

To this day, I still love the exterior lines on the 93-94 GTs.

I can still remember driving down to Clarke Ford with my old man to pick it up right before Thanksgiving in '94......two weeks before I actually finalized my first job offer out of school. It was worlds apart from the '81 Cutlass and '82 Regal I had been driving!!

Mazda MX-6 = Ford Probe Those were pretty cool too, and also ran forever with the V6.

Both came off the same assembly line.....in Flint or Flat Rock, MI if I remember correctly.

Very fun car, though.

Last weekend, at the Mecum Auction from Anaheim, a 2002 Z06 that certainly appeared nice on TV sold for.....$22,000.

While Dave and I were helping a client of mine look for a Corvette last Winter, we stumbled across a car lot off of Vine Street in Eastlake to look at a C4 of some kind that we passed on.

But the dealer had a silly nice low mileage '07 Z06 in a cool Copper color with really nice custom wheels. They were asking 27K for it....so I'm assuming it was 25K car.

For the money, that's a hell of a lot of car.....that you don't need to modify at all.

On a different note, the same auction produced the crappiest car I've ever seen at auction on TV: a mid-80s Dodge "Shelby" van that sold for......$1,100 or $1,300....I can't remember...but it was rather pathetic.

"It's a California car. It's a Shelby. He passed away recently. Let's sell this while the market is HOT!" Not.......

Not sure if the link will work, but a minivan chump car seems badass.

This car was for sale for $12,500 about 2 weeks ago... a C5 for under $10,000

Not even Kid Rock, in his "slant 6" '79 (close enough) Camaro from Joe Dirt, could catch that Minivan!!!

[Basement Paul]

That Red '98 is every shade of red but the original shade. There's not one panel that fits correctly. I'm going with salvage title.

If you guys want to build a minivan go ahead. I have an idea what it takes to build a car that is fun to drive and capable of winning, and I would not want to make it harder by starting with a minivan.
