New toy in the Garage...

[David]

My dad bought a red '87 Corvette

I got to drive it, gotta love the displacment:D really fast and stable as a rock. But all in all I still love my car more for some reason:o

[Pang]

:cool:

[David]

ohh yea, it also has a really cool thing on it that tells you what MPG you are getting, I was getting up to 60mpg going down a hill:D

[1998cc]

I like all corvette body styles except for the eighties. The whole wdge look just seems wierd to me.

[David]

I think it looks cool:D

it kind of makes me want a domestic...well almost

If it's stock then an SRT4 will spank it plus any DSM with just an MBC will show it it's taillights. It was quick for '87 but 245hp up here is only good for about a 15.2 with a manual. My friend had an '87 with the manual 4 speed with 3 ODs and it was ok fast.

depends on the torque also


yea I love the MPG thing in my car, checks the oil, miles left on my tank, the PSI, anything

[domestichell]

my car tells me when i gotta take a shit so there

yea, im pretty sure I could kill it, its an automatic:o but its hey its still really nice and quick. Plus it handles like no other.

Plus it's a Vette.

there faster then 15.2, they run around 14, unless you lose that much time where you guys live

[David]

N/A cars lose around .8 seconds right? something around that.

[V8SpankR]

NA cars usually lose a bit over a full second up here some cases about 1.2 secs.
Generally a current STOCK ZO6 runs 13.6s up here while at sea level most drivers are hitting 12.4s asl.

I can beat a ZO6 up here but at sea level I probably be a tick or two behind with my current 17psi on my turbo.

Gotta love turbo power. :)

F/I is the only way to go.

its pretty funny when you go above about 11,000 feet and all of these V8 guys think they are the shit and can fly up the mountain...once they get there they are slow as shit:D
