car has 30K on it now and just sits in my shop under a cover. To affraid to take it out... kinda like owning a boat:wink:Not trying to be insultive. I just think for the money they are low quality still a chevy after all.
My 1st vette was a 79 L82 that I bought in 1986. The door handles were always malfunctioning along with the power windows. Bought a 72 vert in 1998. Same issues along with some other stuff.
Bought a new 02 in June of 02(still have it) and it has had both door modules, regulators, motors, tracks, and switches replaced about a dozen times each. Had the harmonic balencer replaced, the fuel sending unit, heads up display, flasher switch, and water pump replaced. This was all with less than 20K on the odometer. Now the fuel transfer pump has **** the bed
Gawddamit Dave! 240? what is that, the amount of feet it takes to get going or the amount of feet it takes to come to a complete stop? lol, :biggrin:
:biggrin: . It did let me down the other day...fuel pump took a chit. Anytime you want a shot at the title let me know.
Ready when you are!That's the amount of days its goes without misfiring,lol.
Why don't you try something like my Z0 Nothing:biggrin: Easy to fix, really easy to make go VERY fast, and handling, well, there's tons of suspension upgrades available to you....the engine is just a Chevy small block, you know how durable and easy to modify they are.....the one below is real, real quick, just snaps your neck and loud as hell....:biggrin: handles like it's on rails due to the suspension mods I've done.

And sorry, 1fast6, but from over 39 years of owning a '66 Vette, and 29 years owning this '69, they are FAR from junk.....really insulting.
They are still drivable, too....and as long as I fix them myself, they are not expensive to repair...only when you take one to the shop will you get robbed at gunpoint
Though, I had a chance to drive an '02 ZO6, it was AWESOME! I just about had an orgasm...and I've driven an '07 ZO6 and HAD an orgasm!!! Two of the most awesome handling, fast Vettes ever! Worth every dime. Vettes are just in a world of their own, a special breed of banshees!! Like the Turbo Regals, only the Vettes don't have a trunk for the trunk monkey nor a backseat!
Insurance? What's that?

Not scared! Mine only weighs 280lbs more than yours and the HP is a tad bit more... Don't be upset if you get beat by a car on regular 300 tread wear street tires!Hey Scot, we'll have to run my 01 Z06 which rolls with hawk pads and NT01's tires...Don't be scared, it weighs 3000#'s and only has 385 hp

You really made my day...I'm glad you like them and my car also. Thanks!!!!!!Wow sounds like you got a pack of lemons...
We bought a brand new one in 92 triple white conv. Only has 8K on the clock. Only problem ever had was from letting fuel get to old. Nothing is broke or malfunctioning...
Have another 92 conv with around 80K I think and haven't had a problem with it in 5 years...
Got an 80 model, no problems with car just an aftermarket carb...
Sold a 98 conv. had it for about 9mnths last year only problem had with that was the power antenna...
I have been around vettes all my life and have never heard of that many problems
)
I don't wish for much but just some fun that's all... I don't care if I win or loose as long as we all had a blast doing it....Now that's what I call CONFIDENCE!!!!!!!!! Man, I wish I could live to see all these challenges come to fruition!! What a race that would be!
I admire the confidence all of you guys have, as I know you can back up your challenge with the real thing..the car.....
Scot, be careful what you wish for....:wink:

You know, I just don't know what to say...I understand now why you feel the way you do, as I would, too....just can't understand it, only thing is you probably got a Vette that was made on a Monday or Friday at the assembly line......Hey, you've got my sympathy...if all of that stuff was wrong with a Vette as beautiful as yours and I had it, I'd be one pissed off owner.
Go have a cold beer and know Bruce is on your side, if that helps any. If you need anything else broken on your Vette, just call me...I'm the expert here
