how hot is the 2005 corvette?

Post by MarkMoore »

that is one hot vehicle... the new facelift makes this generation of corvette the best looking ever(or at least rival the 68-82 generation as the best looking)... when you click on the link, scroll down and click on the yellow corvette in the bottom row of the photo gallery... ohhhhhhhhh look at those headlights... HOT HOT HOT!!

Well from what I hear it does 0-60mph in 4.1 sec. I drove a Porsche 996 Turbo that does 0-62mph in 4.2 and lets just say, thats FAST. The porsche i drove i think had a little work but im not sure. I love the look of the new front. They did a good job.

I got to drive a brand new 04 z06 this summer. It was a 6 spd and man that thing was beyond fast. Its the fastest car I have driven. Very fun. If i can trust myself with it i would buy it in a heart beat!!

many people note that this has similar qualities as the dodge viper. some go as far as to say its a rip off of the viper... but hey, i don't mind if they rip off the viper--the viper's been my favorite car in the world ever since i was little

can you believe the pontiac GTO has a corvette engine in it? i mean, the car's cool and all, but it kinda reminds me too much of a cavalier... why waste such an amazing engine on such a mediocre styled car... those same people should spend their efforts trying to figure out how they could jam that 6.0 engine into an mx-3 :D

corvettes are one of the worst cars you could buy if you didnt plan on keeping it forever... they have one of the lowest resale values of all the high end sports cars
