We used to sell a lot of them at the dealership I worked at. They were expensive then and now. I could get in them ok but I could not get out of them without looking odd. They are a young persons ride unless an old man is trying to catch a younger girl! The days of the Corvette for me are done and just a memory.

Personally, never cared for the vette, liked the Camaro’s, Mustangs and Challenger’s, but only the higher performance versions…..

i'd be all over another '65 stingray if i have the chance! i'd change a few things on what i did with the 1st 1 i had mechanically wise. might stay old school and not go electronic engine management or auto-trans. well, i might have at least an electronic fuel induction as it's way better when changing several thousands of feet in altitude. i bet that flat plane crank will scream compared to cross plane as that's why those euro sport cars sound the way they do.

Nice but Chicks dig Buicks.

My best respect to the fairer half of the human race, but, It's been many a man's experience that chicks dig bucks, as in dollars $$$ just throwin that out for discussion.

I could never fit in a Corvette (due to the belly that I unfortunately inherited from a cousin). However, since they went mid-engine....it certainly looks and performs closer to what Italy has been making for 50 years. Of late, I prefer 2 wheels though.

Corvette insurance is less expensive than a challenger, charger , mustang or Camaro .
It’s based on age/demographic of the drivers . Corvettes are mostly driver by older individuals so their are less reported claims on them.
Younger folks mostly drive the others with lots of claims .

I know several who own vettes and their rates went down from owning the the sports cars listed

Yet, I rather pay higher insurance for a true muscle car then a car made to compete with European sports cars which the vette is in reality, they are NOT muscle cars…..
