    Agreed.

    I wouldn't feel right driving it otherwise.

    Same goes for my Ram.

    Hey Ford........ Any $85,000 Raptor want to have a little taste of my Regular Cab Hemi Ram? Lol

    The 80s were a horrible time for muscle cars, government restrictions with the Clean Air Act and oil prices through the roof. GM tried the V6 T , it kicked ass, and they killed it. It was short lived, but imagine if it would have had a nice V8 in it, and not a turbo V8 like the darn Trans am, what a pile! My Aunt's Geo metro is faster than my Trans Am.

    Oh...your talking about the 1980-81 TTA, but by the end of the 1980's the TTA pace car was the 1st pace car that required NO mods to pace the great race. As far as a nice V8 Instead of the turbo V6, yeah, I'm sure embarrassed Corvette owners agree with you too, LOL.

    Buick was heavy into turbocharging their 231 V6, no need for the V8 honestly, the numbers prove it out.

    Seems the 80's was a dog decade for everything with 4 tires on it!

    I had bought so many vehicles during the 80's, 2 Trans Ams, 84 and 86, a 80 Jeep Cherokee, and an 84 GMC 1 ton dually 4x4. One TA (86), and the Jeep were real dogs. And the 1 ton got about 6mpg on the street, and 9 on the highway with those 4.56 axles, I kid you not.

    That was one decade that had I not bought any vehicles and banked that money, I could've probably bought a house today with the funds. Tossed a ton of money to the wind.

    When I bought the 68 SS396 Camaro in '86, I actually had less trouble with it, than all the showroom fresh vehicles I mention above.

    Re: New mid engine Corvette. July 18th.

    One of the most important thoughts I've had about the aspects of the new Stingray, but failed to mention is "safety"?

    Will this mid engine vehicle be any more dangerous in a collision to its occupants with an engine sitting behind you, versus previous older designs?

    I might assume one is losing a lot of protective steel up front besides the obvious, a heavy motor behind.

    Then again, many race cars with the same configuration seem to protect their drivers very well with high speed collisions.

    Re: New mid engine Corvette. July 18th.

    I remember when they released the pics of the 19 sliverados. I hated the headlights. I loved the look of my 16 z71 grill so much that it killed me that they would mess with it. And then it just sort of grew on me and now as an owner of a 19 I dont even see why I disliked it so much.

    this too will probably happen with the rear of the vette.
