427ci monster that cost 65k and run with cars 3 and 4 time it price. It is fast at ¼ and in the track. Second fastest car at the n-ring.
the z06 corvette engine doesn’t produce 100 hp per liter because it have some thing that other engine doesn’t have and that it torque. Could any body here show me an engine that have 100hp per liter and not be force induction and produce 386 pounds of torque at 1500 rpm like the ls7 do? Or could any body here could tell me what other car with 500hp could get 16/26 mpg and don’t pay a gas guzzler tax like z06? Yeah I know impressive and all of that form what people say it “old tech” .

A game similar in style to Slug Bug. The difference is that upon spotting a corvette, one says, "Corvette Pet," and proceeds to pet the head of the nearest individual in the car.

The idea that a parts vendor will charge more for corvette parts than they would for similar parts made for another vehicle due to the illusion that corvette owners are wealthy. See also, BMW Tax and Mercedes Tax.
I got hit with the corvette tax on this side marker blackout film. I had to pay $60 for $2 worth of pre-cut tinted film.

1984-1996 Corvettes. A car I thought was cool until about 1988. They did not age well. This was apparent well before production ended. They aren't fast. Almost all are automatic transmission and have reliability problems as well as novelty digital dash cluster that stayed years after everyone was over the fad.
I've seen several 84-88s for 2500 dollars and less as far back as 1994. Unless they are pristine and low mileage you can't give these things away. Just sitting there with 2500 on the windshield for months. Decent 1996s are 8000 and no one is buying. Very low mileage examples have owners wanting 11-18k. At that point everyone knows you can get a similar condition C5.

I beat a white '87 Corvette C4 in a non-supercharged '89 MR2.
Why did you get that Corvette C4? I'd gone with any year before getting one of those.
Your C4 Corvette has the same stock steering wheel as my S-10 and a digital package like my grandmas Buick!

4th generation of Corvettes built from 1984-1996. As of January 2009, it is probably the best bargain for stock performance in both 0-60/quarter mile speed and suspension performance.
Vehicle was powered over those years by these engines: 5.7L L83 (Crossfire motor), 5.7L L98 (TPI (Tuned Port Injection) motor), 5.7L LT1 motor, and the ever so rare 5.7L LT4 motor (all are in order with release dates and the amount of HP they put out).
The 80's manual transmission Corvettes were supplied by a Doug Nash 4+3 transmission (4 regular gears, the top 3 supplied with an overdrive gear). The TPI motor with this transmission was rumored to top out over 200MPH.
Was the 1st Corvette generation to combine sleek, hatchback styling with clean HP and torque and Digital gauges in the dash.

John: Yo son, that's a clean ass Toyota Celica turbo, what you spend on it?
Ron : Yea, 30 G's and this shit hit a 14.8 quarter at the track. My shits ill.
John: Yo kid, i just copped a 1986 Corvette from this 52 year old dude for $5600 and I had an exhaust system and headers done for $3k and I ran a 13.8 in the quarter. Corvette C4 FTW. You're retarded son.

A very fast american sports car with 405HP Stock. You see this engine has 405HP Stock. Their is no Honda, Acura or any poorly made import that has 405HP stock. In fact they all are garbage. The Z06 Corvette is a very fast car that will smoke imports. Just face it, imports are garbage. Sure you can make a Geo Metro run 7s on a quater mile, but it is still a garbage car. Just like Hondas and other imports.
A cold air intake on an import might make an extra 5-6HP, but on a V8 it's 15-20 HP. The exhuast systems on imports around 10-15. On V8s it is 25-30 HP. Just face it, the fastest import will loose to the fastest American V8. Also Cadilact has a prototype V16 that has 1,000HP on pump gas. Name a proto type import that can match that? You can't!!! Imports a garbage. If you like them so much move to Japan. Heh, maybey Japanese people like American cars becuase they are faster.

A small penis. Basically describes the genital size of the owner or the perspective owner of said car. Generally, the owner or of the perspective car seek the Corvette to overcompensate for their lack of bulge in their pants.
