There is absolutely nothing I dislike about this car, after 12-years of ownership I have it just about where I want it. However, I am considering changing the wheels and tires soon. My wife wanted to know when would it be finished, it will never be finished ! There is always something to do to the car, unlike my BMW which you can only buy gas and have it serviced. God Bless Zora Arkus-Duntov, the Father of the modern Corvette.

Performance- For the era, it was amazingly fast. Not so much any more. Still pretty fast though Build Quality- Well its a 36 year old car... of course it has issues Appearance- Thoughts may differ, but this car is gorgeous. They definitely went form over function as the interior is somewhat small Cost of Ownership-Once again, this is a 36 year old car. Once it is fixed completely, then it won't cost much to maintain. It really drinks gas though Fun Factor-Once all the kinks are worked out, this car will be amazing. Fast, gorgeous, and rare, people pay attention.

All my driving life I have wanted a "Vette" I always pictured a 78' but I fell in love with my little yellow "RumbleBee" She's fast,sexy and fun as heck to drive. Even when she's grabbing pavement she looks like a peice of art...a car of the past. I have had many sports cars, 78 Firebird,78 Camaro,66 Caprice,89 5.0, 97 firebird, and an 86 Fiero...... but this baby will never, EVER be traded off, sold or given away. She's a keeper

Good value. Only negative is an automatic transmission. Driving a Corvette with automatic transmission is like kissing your sister.

Excellent acceleration for its era, braking is good, handling crisp-- power steering offers no feed back. Build quality- frame, powertrain solid, body looks good after all these years. Exterior is beautiful, I personally like the interior design, and it fits me well (or I fit it well). Eats gas, but gas economy is not why I got it. Have had some expense in suspension restoration, but other than that, just fine. Great fun to drive, the Corvette rumble is wonderful to listen to. NOTE: in October of 2011 I had to rebuild the Rochester Q-jet. The rebuild was reasonable and everything is working fine now. The crud that is in the 10% ethanol gas in this area is unbelievable, the interior of the carb around the jets and in the bowl had what appeared to be a light reddish-white particulate in it. The filter was not clogged so I presume it settled out of the fuel once in the carb. Try to run real gas in these things or find an additive that can treat the problems with gas that has 10% ethanol in it.
