    Still not sure what to do about buying 89 Vette

    Other decision needed if I go for the Vette. Thanks for the advice. I went and drove the car today. It felt pretty good. Spotted some gas on the ground under car, hopefully it is just a loose line. My other issue is going to be on what to do with the cars I have now. I have an 86 SVO 5 Speed...

    Still not sure what to do about buying 89 Vette

    Boy am I still having a really tough decision. I posted on here before about coming in contact with my father's 1989 Convertible Supercharged Vette. The car was supercharged, roller rockers, 3:73, fuel pump etc, about $10,000 back in the early 90s. It ran in the high 12s on 6 psi and low 12s on...

    Can this supercharger be saved?

    I was told that the supercharger on our old 89 Vette was on its way out. It would not boost to 6psi like it did before, which is understandable. I was told that if I took off the tube connecting the super charger to the throttle body, I would find a ton of oil. Assuming the supercharger is...

    Really could use some help, 1989 Superchared Vette

    You guys are all right. I think you guys all make a hell of a lot of sense. They are my thoughts exactly. The sentimental value is what is hard. The car is up for $11,000 at a used dealership which makes me even more skeptical. I will stay with my 86 SVO for now, it has been a great car and...

    Really could use some help, 1989 Superchared Vette

    I had posted before that I came in contact with my father's 1989 Corvette Convertible. It was supercharged and he traded it in with about 28,000 miles on it. I went to drive the car and the supercharger was pulling 6 psi, which was good. There was smoke burning off of the exhaust which ended...

    Opinions wanted for best year for Vette.

    The reason I asked this question about the better year is this: My father had bought a new 1989 Convertible Vette, we supercharged it, water injected it, ran roller rockers and a Dana rear with a 3.73. The car went down the track at 12.8 @ 6 PSI and 12.19 @ 8 PSI on street tires. It was a hell...

    Opinions wanted for best year for Vette.

    I would like to hear some opinions about what year Vette they thought was the best overall (performance, handling and reliability) 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989. We had an 89 and got out of it with about 28,000 on it. I also remember hearing that the 1985 Vettes had the least amount of...
