Maybe, maybe not. Considering the factor of "What will people pay" still comes into play. Just because the 'vert would be cheaper doesn't necessarily mean it would sell more. While a 'vert is nice in some areas, there are still benefits to having a fixed roof, thus it might be worth more to...

Based on what I wrote, I don't fully understand where your question is coming from. :confused "...but the total sales would be the same." Are you referring to total sales volume of "each type" or "total of the two", or are you referring to total sales revenue?

1analguy, I see the point you are making about the "gouging" for the convertible. Your logic is sound. However, you are looking at it from a buyers standpoint and not a sellers standpoint. Whatever vehicle(s) you currently own, I could likely apply your logic to each of them and state that...

Jane Ann was the perfect representation of politeness and the epitome of respectful. I met Jane Ann on at least one occasion, as she was one of our CruiseFest Idol judges back in 2006. Of course, she was the effervescent "Paula" that was always the person one could count on to be positive no...

Chevy: Yeah, we do this all time time...without requiring specific drivers. (Fixed that for ya. :D) :thumb

Interesting observation, Bob.

For the people that like it, then truly "yes". For everyone else, there's 60 others years of vettes to choose from. As I read it, every single one of those lines, creases, inlets, outlets, etc is 100% intentional to the absolute highest function of the car. Might I recommend reading Rob's...

:eek :drool::Twist;worship

Ha! 270HP would've been nice! 270 was the torque spec. 190HP was the standard L48. The L82 was 210hp. Here's a list of specs for the 1980. CLICK! Here's a list of RPO and production numbers. CLICK! The nice thing about the car is that it's not stock and it's not really collectible, so you...

"RJ" and "Dad", Welcome to the :CAC OldMan32, you're a pretty awesome dad to get your son a Corvette for his first car! Wow... :thumb Shoot me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send you out a copy of the 1980 factory service manual on CD. I have a couple extras laying around...

I'm wishy-washy on this. Originally, I would have given a solid "YES!", but now...it's more "ehhh". Is there a similarity? Well, if you say "yes" because there are a pair on either side of the bumper and they are both non-circles, then there is a similarity. But objectively speaking, there's...

I agree. I've never been a fan of Chevy Gray being plastered all over the rear of any car that isn't meant to go play in the mud. Here is a real quick & dirty (no pun intended) that I spent all of 2 minutes doing. (If I was serious about a mockup, I would've started with a clean autoshow...

Hey! Good to see you 'round, Tankman/Eric!

Ahh, well, see, now I'm fairly certain we've never met in person or you haven't been to a CruiseFest! :L You and I are clearly not members in the 'most' group of Corvette owners I perceive. :D And my ZZ4 hits it's torque sweet spot around 3500; HP around 5250 per GM spec. Though it's been a...

Item 1: Yeah, I saw that. But I approached my "awe" from the point that most(?) of the pedal mashing people do is below 4000 RPM (from 0 MPH or a slow roll). Beyond 4000 RPM, most(?) are probably getting ready to shift or get out of it. Item 2: Yes, that was with the inference of when the LT1...

WOW! :cool I've only been in one LS7 vette, and it was one of the GM mule C6's before the Z06's were released. And I still remember the feeling that car had. Barely pressing the GO pedal from a near standstill in 2nd gear(!!!) and I still felt like I was being tossed back in my seat! And now...

Welcome to the club! :m

I'm just gonna chime in here to be funny, but also with a hint of sincerity... One thing I always praise about the pre-81 vettes... NO COMPUTERS! Yes, you can diagnose "easier" (sometimes) with computer controls, but they also seem to be the source of just as many problems you normally wouldn't...

Welcome to the :CAC First, congrats on knowing the first thing about buying a Corvette... Asking lots of questions first from people that have first hand experience. "It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better learn from other people's mistakes." As Kane said, and he may even have...

Yeah, that's a tough one, but I'd probably lean towards....ehhh.....;squint:.....man!..... I give the red coupe a slight nod. If it too was a manual trans, then it would be a no-brainer. The automagic transmission is the only thing that bugs me. I'm a stickshift guy. Granted, my vette isn't...
