This is why I love AI. Comrade Flynn, your post wasn't called cunty for any reason involving ¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°YOUR MONEY ¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°, it was called cunty because it had the tone of a oval office. If you don't like something, fine, but you can't cast some blanket judgement on something based on your subjective interpretation of cool, that would make you like HotCanadianChick.


Don't be like HotCanadianChick.



Also, any slag you get isn't because you think you're Mr. Moneybags of the forum. From a lot of us, it comes from your bragging about "I can do AWD burnouts at will," then when asked to do just such a thing, you cried about "¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°MY $10,000 Clutch¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°."

A lot of us are happy for you that you're doing well, honestly. But just do the loving burnout already.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realise that was something to be proud of. If that's the one redeeming quality of a car that's poo poo everywhere else then I guess your right. Never mind the fact that they were never driven because corvette and they have lovely gm transmissions that don't do well to neglected fluid. But specs from when the car was new is totally true this many years later.

Edit: I work on vettes all the time. The nostalgia is what sells them. Mind you I have not worked on the newest and gen before of vette

Ive had my silver C5 for almost 13 years with no engine issues, just a lovely GM interior which I knew going into it. I still cant think of another sports car I'd rather own aside from a newer corvette ( but not new because rapid depreciation is what I love about them.)

How is a T56 a "lovely GM transmission"? It's THE standard 6-speed.

Yep cause that's the only transmission attached to a corvette. And everyone takes good good care of there corvettes. And automatic transmissions handle rear end in a top hat drivers well.

Although I'm pretty sure that any C5 or C6 in AI is going to have a T-56. He does have a point that the 4L60E has some problems (due to being an electronically shifted version of a trans that took a 3-speed from 1964 and crammed a fourth gear in there), but I wouldn't write off the whole chassis for that reason.

I wasn't writing it off for a lovely automatic GM trans. I was writing it off for how lovely every generation I have driven has handled,accelerated, and rattled but that's just gm plastics.

So your standard for good acceleration and handling is what? I'm genuinely curious.

The crappiness of GM interiors is well-known.

They do rattle a lot, but you're pretty dumb if you don't think a C6 Z06 accelerates and handles well for a stock car. And at that price range, good god they were something else.

What was wrong with the C5's handling? At 350hp for 3300lbs, it's pretty quick.

It's physically incapable. Hydrostatic differential/transmission final drive or something. It's a weird setup and I don't understand how it works, but it can't be pushed when in neutral with the brake off unless you remove the shear pin that links one wheel to its axle, so I can't imagine it's anything other than hydrostatic nonsense in there.

I've done 20mph on a 5hp Briggs&Scrapiron tractor a friend owns, on which you can swap the big and small chain drive sprockets to reverse the drive ratio, with another friend hanging off my shoulders and the fenders, through a cratered dirt road. I'd love to do that with this one, but it's just not possible :sigh:

(that's the same tractor I've posted a few stories about, including 4-wheeling it in the woods behind my house and rolling it, keeping the steering wheel from crushing my skull with one foot over my head until it hydrolocked on its own oil, and the time the aforementioned drive sprocket fell off because I forgot it has to be kicked back on regularly while engine braking down a hill... since the service brakes were also nonfunctional/AWOL, this resulted in freewheeling madly down the hill into my yard and wrecking it trying to thread the needle between two parts jeeps because colliding head on with either one of them seemed like a painful proposition.)

It's a 2004 that has 67k miles on it. The color is tektite gray, despite looking black in almost every picture. It was owned by Palo Alto old people its entire life.

I am going to do some upgrades to the cooling system since I live on Venus (CA central valley) but other than that it will remain stock.
