Back in the early 1970s I took a friend's 1968 Corvette for a drive. I don't know what suspension it had but it drove like the axles were bolted right to the chassis with no springs. I was totally turned off. Then came marriage, kids, building a house and on and on. Finally, in 2008 a friend invited me to drive his new 2008 Corvette six speed. I was totally impressed with ride, handling and especially the power. The LS3 performed better than any big block car that I had ever owned. When buyers lined up to buy our COPO and L78 Chevelles, they were GONE. With a 13,300 mile 2005 Corvette in the garage and money in the bank, we have never looked back. It would be impossible to replace them where as with the Corvette, there are lots on Kijiji if something happened. We can drive the car without worrying and totally enjoy it after eight summers.[ATTACH=full]31458[/ATTACH]

[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 176333, member: 1228"] Back in the early 1970s I took a friend's 1968 Corvette for a drive. I don't know what suspension it had but it drove like the axles were bolted right to the chassis with no springs. I was totally turned off. Then came marriage, kids, building a house and on and on. Finally, in 2008 a friend invited me to drive his new 2008 Corvette six speed. I was totally impressed with ride, handling and especially the power. The LS3 performed better than any big block car that I had ever owned. When buyers lined up to buy our COPO and L78 Chevelles, they were GONE. With a 13,300 mile 2005 Corvette in the garage and money in the bank, we have never looked back. It would be impossible to replace them where as with the Corvette, there are lots on Kijiji if something happened. We can drive the car without worrying and totally enjoy it after eight summers.[ATTACH type="full"]31458[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
