NO MACH 1 but a CORVETTE instead

b52yellow · May 6, 2006

So as I was trying and trying and trying to BUY a MACH 1 it seemed like there was none for ME........or was already SOLD , so I came acrosss this nice 2001 Corvette Coupe AUTO w/11000 miles only, Black on Black w/upgrades. Has better perform. Intake and Exhaust.....nearing 400 HP, and only paid $27.500 , so let me know IF I MADE A GOOD DESICION OR NOT ?????

Sorry OX MOX couldn`t find the right MACH.............Still have the V6 though

Nothing wrong with Vettes.. I happen to like the 1980-1982. They are weak and gutless those years, but I really like the curvy bodystyle. If I had the money, I'd get one of those '80's Vettes, then stuff a modern 400hp engine into it. As for yours, a modern Vette with good miles for under 30 grand.. yeah, sounds like a good deal to me!

Sounds like you did good to me. Personally, I don't like GM products, but the Corvette is the exception. It's their icon, so they put a lot into that car.
I also like the fixed lights on the new 'vettes, but the rest of the body just looks goofy. The C5 is much sleeker.

oh no no no... the c6 is absolutely gorgeous.. the first time i saw it at night, it reminded me of a ferrari with the headlights, lines, and stance.. the c5 just looks too big

I know it would be a ride, but the lot that I just bought my 2004 V-6 has 2 Mach 1's, one is white the other is orange. They also had a black 2000 Cobra, but there was a guy buying that one when I was writing up the paper work on mine.

Nah, looks like you got swindled............... give me the car keys and I'll take the Vette back. J/K. It's a beautiful ride. Enjoy it to it's fullest. You made a good purchase.

I'd look for an apartment with a garage.. just the thought of that bad boy out in the open makes me nervous, and it isn't even mine! I'm moving to an apartment this summer with an attached one car garage; it'll cost me about $150 more per month, but it's worth it in my opinion.

yeah I thought about that too-but if something happens it could be anywhere even on a parking lot somewhere else, so i`m not really worried about that........MENT TO BE, but yeah UR right.
I might even BUY a House or Condo soon so it`s all good,:SNSign:

Congrats on your purchase. I have my newly purchased '06 California Edition Mustang and a '92 LT1 polo green with a 6 speed. It's kind of fun owning two true American icons.

b52yellow · May 8, 2006

Yep, gotta love it........and everybody was asking me : So you traded in the MUSTANG and got The CORVETTE ? I was like Noooo, I still have my MUSTANG, it`s staying.

The only problem I have with my Corvette is the "Corvette tax". I swear, parts are about twice as expensive. The one saving grace is if you can do some of your own work. At least the Mustang is new and has a 3 year, 36K waranty. Good luck with your rides....

The Price difference is not by Much and the Z06 has only 35 more HP(stock 385 vs 350 on the coupe).......either way SWEET Rides

i thought the old z06's had 405, unless he meant a new one, in that case, its puttin 500 ponies on the ground

I believe that`s the Z51 package you are reffering to, those are better. Z06 is less than the Z51.......

PonyboyIsaac · May 11, 2006

in 03 is when the zO6 had 405 hp

PonyboyIsaac · May 11, 2006

now that u got the vette you might consider this.....
