ProsFun and you get a lot of looks... can make a great 1/4 mile car Conshandling is mediocre... It's a classic so be prepared to repair and replace parts.

If U Like The Look And Don't Mind The Handling Issue Get It!! — Performance after I did somethings (pistons, cam, crank, etc.) was unbelievable. Handling could be better though. Its an 82'... things are gonna start to go. The car appelas to me a lot. It is a matter of preference, but it is a sporty looking car that will get a lot of looks. The cars american so maintenance is simple and cheap if you can't do it yourself. Gas mileage is low but what would u expect from a sports car. This car is very very fun. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

For Someone's First 'vette, It's Definately Worth The Price Of Admission. — aside from the stock automatic transmission (only transmission offered on the model yr) she's perfect, starts every time, looks cooler than spit, very little lag on the trans (albeit it took some tinkering) and 'vettes have only gotten better since. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsIt does not show dirt easily, runs really well. ConsYou need to be sure and keep leather conditioner on the seats and steering wheel cover. As it's an earlier model Vette you almost fall into the car to get in and getting out is sometimes a problem, but it's worth the extra effort! :-)

America's Sports Car — SALE PENDING. Fun, sticks to the road, albeit made during the EPA's misguided attempt at "saving gas". Easy to restore (many OEM and cloned parts available). It is reliable, sounds awesome with a low-resistance cat-back exhaust, and better on fuel than many newer cars. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

A Fun To Drive Piece Of Corvette History. — A fun car to drive. Definitely an attention getter when you are out on the road. The car handles very well. It has very responsive steering and braking. Is a little lacking in the horsepower department. The early 80's wasn't know for big horsepower engines. Overall, still a fun car to drive and to own. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

It's Great — First year of crossfire injection. Haven't had any problems with it and it gives it good milage. Engine should have more power. This was original two toned blue, but it has been repainted in some other blue colors that makes it alot prettier than the original. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

ProsThere is no car out there with better body lines than this! ConsThe engine is alright but really needs more power.
45
Greatest Car Ever Designed By Man! — The car needs a lot of updating in the interior, there's a lot of squeaks and rattles. All of them are fixable. I already put in a new sound system in. At some point in the future there will be a better engine and transmission put in. The car is awesome like it is, but no car is ever too good for improvement. | ||

Great Classic Sports Car — I've been restoring this for years and it is now red. I'm almost done but it's been a lot of work. It drives great but the engine is pretty loud (I'm not sure if that's good or bad). Overall it is very fun to drive. | ||
