Sorry to me Vettes are over rated. Sure they can be lots of fun. But keep in mind a $50 brake caliper becomes $300 when you say the word: "Vette."

I think I'd go for modding the Monte or if anything the GTO.




So what's it called when you own a fleet of '57 Chevies and 4 Monte Carlos? lol

 

Being a Pack-Rat.

 

I say get the goat and install the twin turbo kit. That will be all the power you need. Vettes and anything 2 seater just seem useless, and like everyone says, parts and insurance are expensive.

 

First I"ve never owned a Vette. Even thought there have been a few I would love to.

It seems to me unless you're a hard core Vette owner most sell their's a year or two after buying them. Cause they get to feeling the smaller interior space doesn't meet their daily needs.




Well............. at least you didn't post I was trying to make up for "Smaller" body parts that don't measure up. lol

 

My thoughts exactly on the Vette.

You're a "car enthusiast" or a "collector".

Or a Jay Leno wanna be.

That's something that I've always heard women say about Corvette owners. Which is one of the things that turned me off from wanting to own one.

 

They can think what they want, I'm not going to sleep with them, and I'd still have a vette!

 

Meaning you WILL sleep with the Vette? lol


I've told people for years I'm car psycho. Beyond nuts.
You can't own six of any one kind of car and not be more then nuts. lol


Same here.

 

I would go for the vette, even though they ride like trucks. I've always wanted to build a 67' with the 427 and airconditioning, which was rare. And yes, it would be all new parts....anyone want to lend $85k? haha

 

id say stick with the monte name go get your self a 4th gen or older..got the v8 and if its a 4TH gen all kinds of suspention upgrades and drop any motor u want and bam one B/A monte

 

I'd take the 'Vette, rip off the body and drivetrain. Toss in a Duramax/Alison combo and make a new body that looks like the Stingray concept...

But that's just if you were me.
