gingerbreadman1977

I have had my Vet probably 10 years and my Camaro about 5 but because the Vet came first i always had a soft spot for it...but lately im liking the green machine. It drives nice, its easy to work on, feels more practical and even handles pretty good too.

They both have about the same HP even though the vet is a roller cam 350 and the Camaro is a hydraulic 383. They both have the same stall,trans,carb,heads and similar rear gears . The Vet is 3.55 and Cam 3.73. Does anyone else have the guilts about favoring something else?

That Camaro is pretty sweet.

My first car as a teen was a 78 camaro, so I understand the soft spot.

I guess I forgive you.

I have always liked your green Camaro. My first car was a 70 RS Camaro that I had done a lot to and rebuilt everything. That car has always been my favorite. I like the Vette but if I had a 2nd gen Camaro I might be tempted to drive it a lot also. Nice rides you have there.

Did you keep any pics of it Gordon?...and why did you sell it?

I like the 78. Must have been good to have one of them as a teen

Easy Mike

No.

I've always had a soft spot for the 2nd gens also! After owning a 71 and 72. I would like to find another some day

I had a 73 Z28 I loved that car, but I really like my 71 Corvette. I don't have the Z28 anymore so my allegiance to my Vette is easy.

I never try and keep more than one love of my life at a time for that very reason. LOL

All I know is you could deliver mail in that Corvette around here..
Nice shot from the top of both of your nice cars.
Nice dingy also.

I think I do have some somewhere. This was before the digital age so I will have to scan it. Why did I sell? because I had my eye on a 69 Camaro Pace car which I did get and sold tha tin 95 for the Vette. The Camaro I had from 79 to 84 as Iremember so it did not have a lot of the good stuff that is available now. Still wish I had it though.

Found one I had loaded earlier. This is about 1980 or so

Back seat comes in handy sometimes too.

i bought a motorcycle and I had not started the corvette in a month, favoring the motorcycle.. motorcycle is about 4 months a year until it gets cold. the corvette is 7 months a year, then they are both parked.

depends on the weather

I had a 72 Firebird with a 69 400 motor, pretty much stock. I never shoulda GAVE AWAY that car. Pontiacs are torque monsters; they are a blast to drive.

frekin steering wheels on the wrong side !!!!!!!!!!!!

...Roger...

I had a bunch of 68s and a couple 69s,I like em,sorry to say I prefer them over my Corvettes. I would own a 68 today if the prices weren't so crazy.

My first car was this '78 Z28. I bouth it at 18 years old. I traded it on my '78 vette 3 years later. Wish i could still have it.

I wouldn't even be here if I hadn't wrecked this beyond repair.


I had a plain Jane '69 and a '74 Z/28 before the '69 pictured above, all were very nice cars and much roomier than the vette.

I do enjoy driving my '70 Z28, its MUCH more comfortable to drive, and much roomier, but its just not a sport car, on the other hand the '71 Corvette handles much better, and for some reason (which I cant figure why!) it just put a smile on my face as long as I'm driving it!. For me, each car of them has its own personality, each lives in a different territory and belongs to a different class, the Camaro is the car that I drive daily and just enjoy looking at, and the Corvette is the car that I drive when ever I feel depressed or sad for any reason.

Nah, I hold no guilt.
