Its done for. I have read the articles for years. Watched the tv reviews. And through all this time I have loved the Grand Prix, not becuase I think it is the all but because it is a well rounded car. I have thought that my 'project car' would be a used GTP within a few years, well I was unsure of this as it seemed like there was something else that I needed or wanted. What I am trying to say is the car I have been reading about and just looking at it and going yeah its nice like I do most cars is the Corvette. I have decided that in a few years I am going to purchase a slightly used low mileage 6 spd. I have alreayd been out looking and know how much muhla i will need. Im just wondering what people overall think about the vette. I know at a few times we had a couple vette owners on here.
Just wondering!!!

What can you say about a vette,it's the cream of the american crop in my opinion the ultimate american sports car style perfomance and one of the few cars that hold a decent market price .

I've always loved the vette and always will. I think the 82 special edition model was beautiful.

I think all the Vettes, every year and model, has a place in my heart. A place in my garage would be better. If I had the money, I would just keep collecting them. All of them. Every one. If I could just have only one, then the Sledgehammer comes to mind. Or a Lingenfelter twin turbo'd Z06. However, the cream of the American muscle car crop is not, IMO, the Vette. That title used to go to the Vette, but I'm almost positive that the Viper now holds that honor. There has never been an American car made that comes close to that baby(aside from the GP GTP of course). You could race anything in that rocket, strait line or road course. It is the ultimate in all out performance. I would marry one if I could. I certainly would sell my bike and Chevelle without hesitation to own one. I would still need the GP for practical reasons.
