I love my vette!

It's just a nice car to ride and drive. I'm a conservative driver and spend a lot of time on SoCal freeways. Averages 26 mpg for me.

I purchased this simply because I always wanted a Corvette. Polo Green Metallic with a beige leather interior and the Targa removable roof panel which was perfect for Southern California. I chose the automatic transmission for the freeways which are always stop and go out here and the car provided lots of driving pleasure.

On the positive side, the LT-1 V8 was highly responsive and combined with the tuned port injection, propelled the vehicle to any speed you wanted effortlessly. Shifts were not as crisp as I would like and in the hot summer weather, the radiator proved to be too small to meet the cooling needs of the engine and transmission. The all digital gauges were a nice touch, but analog would have been nicer and more in keeping with the traditional Corvette style.

To solve the high temperature issues, we installed a low temperature thermostat with bypass, and also a performance chip that started the cooling fans at a lower temperature and improved the shift points of the transmission, while offering a performance boost to the engine as well, while still meeting the California CARB smog requirements. One problem that was more difficult and costly to resolve was the distributor vent issue, in that the distributor was designed so that moisture could end up inside the unit and once in, no way to dry out. That little problem was about $800-$1,000 fix since it required major down time, a radiator pull, etc. Unfortunately, unless you or your mechanic knew how to prevent this from recurring, after the costly repair you were likely to be seeing this ugly repair happen again in the future. I understand there were aftermarket distributors and kits to preclude this, but it's unlikely the dealer was going to install these. (I didn't have the dealer do the above work, so you know I only had the work done once!)

We did cruise Route 66 with the car, for after all, what's driving a Corvette without cruising Route 66 when both are readily available? Yes, we did play 60's tunes at the same time too!

All-in-all, a great car. Not much trunk space, especially with the Targa top stowed in its' slots in the hatchback. Enough for a weekend bag and lots of fun for a couple out to enjoy the sun and a trip across the Mother Road, Route 66.   

I love to drive my 92 vette.Its real fast for 300 HP.Takes the corners excellent,but at the expense of a hard ride.The 6 speed transmission is smooth and fast.Getting in and out of the car can be a chore for some people.The car gets lots of attention where ever you go.Its a fantastic HOT ROD!!!

love it but ruff ride?
