Thats the number 1 reason I got one, total sleeper! with magride its also super comfortable for daily driving.
I liked that about the GTO. LS2 engine, and not too flashy. Most people didn’t know what the car was, because it wasn’t too popular. But they found out when I got on the gas! It is too bad they shut down Holden.

I LOVE Corvettes...my favorite body style is the C2 (1963-1967) and hope to have one someday, they are beautiful but oh so $$$$.

I had a Cyber Grey '09 C6 convertible below as my daily driver (yes..even in the winter) and got to the upper 90k miles and sadly had to replace it. It was a fantastic car!

was looking for info on "stingrays" as in the fish but came across this thread and love it! Currently saving up for a C8 now and should be able to get one in 2023-2024!! Just in time for the mid cycle refresh -- can't wait!
Lucky you. I'd love to get a c8.

Oh, I love a 70s vette. I have an all original 76 stingray that I’m going to restore. She’s a little rough right now but all factory original down to the rims and stereo/cassette deck 1C2DDA9A-5379-4CB8-925B-0C6E063B7F8B.jpeg

Mine is in the middle of getting a new frame. Project has stalled. I’m still waiting to get the body pulled from the frame. So I still have a ways to go before I’ll be ready for spring...

Ooof. Somehow the frame on mine is in great condition; the car came from upstate NY but the guy stored it well protected all winter every year so it wasn’t rusted or too beat up

You’re lucky. My rear differential mount cracked off the frame a couple years ago, and it wasn’t until I started taking things apart that I realized just how rusted my frame was. I had fist sized holes in it. I’m lucky mine didn’t collapse on me while I was driving. It’ll be much nicer when I have a frame that’s actually solid under my car.
