/o/ is always saying you can buy a Corvette for less than a new entry level sports car, so I assume there's a large userbase of Corvette owners here. They should be as common as Miatas, lets see those Corvettes then.
>>28782115>They should be as common as MiatasBut you can buy a Miata for less than a Corvette
>>28782116And have half the car, half the pistons, and half the funVettes best
>>28782117Sure, but there is a clear reason why they won't be as common as miatas.
>>28782117>half the funmiatas are more fun than corvettes though 70mph in a miata feels like 120 in a vette
>>28782115Corvettes are there to shit up conversations on Euro or Japanese market conversations
>>28782224Japanese don't post here and Euros don't even own cars bigger than 1.5 liter shitboxes.
>>28782224Pushrods in general are an automotive shitpost. They shouldn’t exist but they do. They shouldn’t have dominated motorsports at various points in history but have.
>>28782115nigga posters here can't even afford a miata
>>28782228Ok, parrot. Let's see your Corvette.
>>28782115Depends on how poor you are. You can get a nice manual c5 for 15k. NCs and n/a cobras are runner up best deals, you can get either for 5-7k
>>28782178not really.
>>28782228post your cuckover
>>28782115>sports carSports cars are neat! Which ones are you talking about?
>>28782228>Euros don't even own cars bigger than 1.5 liter shitboxesMost intelligent mutt on /o/
I just don't think I'm old enough for one yet. Every time I see a guy under 50 step out of one I think "what's up with that guy"
>>28782517My bad, Euros don't own cars bigger than 1.0 liter shitboxes.
>>28782559Ok, parrot. Let's see your Corvette.
>>28782178>miatas are more fun than corvettes
Pretty sure there are more 911 owners than Corvette owners here
>>28782178
>>28782585That's just sad. You guys suck.
>>28782115I had a c5. Sold it because I didn't like it.
>>28782575Nta but yes, genuinely. Miatas are much more fun cars, especially as a street driven car.Corvettes are too fast to enjoy on the street every day. It's like having a 10/10 wife that you can only fuck once a year vs having a 7/10 wife that you can fuck every day.
>>28782115>2 reaction pics>1 PorscheExpect nothing less
>>28782612Well don't buy a new one, idiot.
>>28782617Not that many people want a corvette. I would never buy one again except maybe a c3
>>28782624That's the case with basically every corvette from c5 onward. Unless you're on a track or you treat the streets like a track, they're kind of boring.You're can already be at highway speeds in 2nd gear and triple digits in 3rd.
>>28782636>>28782612>the gears are too longSo put a gear set in itThis is such a bad cope for wanting a car with half the cylinders and 1/3rd the power
>>28782649You should have just said you're 15 and I would have known not to bother responding to you.
>>28782666changing your rear end ratio means you're 15??? what??? are you aware that this is an extremely common and relatively cheap mod?
>>28782712"change your rear end ratio" when even a c5 z06 has 3.42s the real problem is that it has too much grip to enjoy on the street tooits a lot easier to kick the tail out and recover at 40mph than at 90-100mph.
>>28782712More fun slow fast than fast slow
>>28782666Are you fucking retarded? There's a reason half the sn95 Mustangs you see for sale already have a set installed
>>28782712He's saying you're a young ignorant kid based on your view of what makes a car good. Corvettes do suck as fun street cars unless your fun is found in red light racing.
>>28782762>the cars gearing is too tall!>>ok just fix it then>actually you're just a young ignorant kidwhat the helly are you talking about>rwd 2 seater v8 sucks as a fun street caryou are retarded
>>28782783>what the hellyLiterally proving his point.
>>28782785the point that he's clueless on how diffs work?
>>28782791Fr senpai 100 100 6 7 skibidi no cap!
>>28782762>based on your view of what makes a car good. Usable power, reliability, good styling and healthy aftermarket?
>>28782628I assume that boomermobile is yours. Why wouldn't you buy one again?To me it just feels like too much maintenance, depreciation, attention, etc.
No idea why everyone is acting like any Corvette past 10 years ago is some sort of impossibly expensive unobtainium. I got this '92 for like 4K, fully working. Just needs a detail.
>>28784067Cool, but don't act like that's realistic. You can't find me a single one on sale in the country at that price that doesn't need 5 - 10k of work (clutch, tires, bushings, shocks, basic engine accessories tune up - plugs, injectors, hoses, etc).You know how I know? Because I sold a 1990 Miata for 3k half a decade ago, and now they go for 10k.
>>28784088It is though. I just kept a notification reminder on FBM for whenever a new Corvette listing appeared in my area, found this one for sale as soon as it went up, and messaged immediately with cash in hand. You can find super deals on these boomermobiles that no young person would ever clamor for if you look around, are proactive and have cash on hand to strike the deal ASAP. Miatas are more expensive since its le zoomie drift car now. No one cares for C3s, C4s like mine or C5s.
>>28784092Sure, maybe if you immediately message them, and I mean immediately, you might get lucky. You aren't finding anything that's already listed at that price though.
>>28784095It has not even 30s on the listing when I messaged, lol. But I will concede that yes, 4K is a pretty out there target for a fully working one, luck may have played a role here. Still, going up to 10K gets you a pretty minty one without having to use my tactics. 10K for a traditional RWD, V8, manual 2 seater sports car is great value. They’re also all SBCs, easy power.
>>28784102You got a nice car man, enjoy. I am too lazy to wrench nowadays, even on a secondary.
>>28782666>>28782762Surely Corvette owners never change their ring and pinion, right? https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c4-zr-1-discussion/3253786-4-10-ring-and-pinion-2.html>>28782745It's almost like you're arguing with weebs that don't understand ring and pinion swaps because their cars have 4:1+ diffs already.
>>28784095>>28784102Having the notifications on is a huge help for this kind of thing. The deals are out there, but if you don't have alerts you rarely see them because they move so fast.
>>28782115vettes are drift taxed now
>>28784102>$4-10k for a decent to nice c4>meanwhile in europeland they have so much burgermobile tax that can easily baloon to twice the price
>>28782585pretty sure there's only one 911 owner on here (the MODIFIED silver 996 -- get some new wheels already buddy)tell your grandma that she can just unplug the battery lol battery tenders are for ricers with front plates
>>28784686
>>28784317same in aus. anything above a certain price imported by a dealer gets slugged with the luxury car tax, extra 33% tacked on to fill up politicians' coffers. and if the car is young enough, it needs to be converted to RHD unless it can get special registration to exempt it, which shoots the price up even higher.
>>28782115Yep, I got a salvage 2016 Z51 3LT auto with 33k miles and fixed it for $30k total Incredible, there are retards paying $40k+ for 997 carerras with 100k milesI intend on getting to 200k miles with my Corvette
>>28782585Bet that Ryobi makes more power than the Porsche kek
>>28782612i've owned a miata for 10 years. corvettes are better. the most fun car I've ever driven on the street was a lotus exige s
Best car I’ve ever driven and it’s not even close
Corvette vs Miata is the most retarded debate ever. You might as well compare those little American postal vans to Ferraris next.
>>28784748Automatic master race 14:88 gear ratio
>>28784790I owned an nb miata for 11 years and a c5 corvette for 5.the miata is much more fun. corvettes are too serious of sports cars to be a boyracer with. You can drive near the cars limits without being in if-you-fuck-up-you're-guaranteed-to-die territory, which can't be said for the corvette.The lotus exige is a hell of a lot more similar to a miata than it is to a corvette.
>>28784686good cars get tendiessimple as
Best American sports car for the price. Better than a jiggaboo dodge
