Re: (scorp508)
Poor scorp..now he has to settle for number 2 , now that the vette is down. My son says that driving the Camaro is like punishment to make you work harder to get the vette back on the road. But what does he know, he is just 16. Maybe Scorp can use that for inspiration. How you doing Scorp???

It is a world of difference. The vette makes more power at the wheels than the camaro makes at the track. Hell more than it would make gross w/o accessories.
Vette: 211hp/315 ft/lbs at the wheels (dyno'd when stock in '00)
Camaro: 150hp/ 240 ft/lbs at the crank when new.
...hills now scare me. :D

Re: Daily Drivers (OrangeC4)
Right now my 95 has 59,000 miles, I drove it during the winter and everyone thought I was nuts :crazy:
I took this kid for a ride last week, and he says to me "Wow, it doesn't feel like it has 50,000 miles" Are cars supposed to get significantly slower as they get more miles? :confused: :rolleyes: I drive my car hard, and it's running better than ever :cool:

Re: Daily Drivers (Nathan Plemons)
87 Vette with 115k miles. Daily driven? YOU BET! Well...probably not anymore, since I am driving my truck again. (75 Chevy C10) I also have a 93 Saturn SC2, for when I want to go pick on ricers (It actually beats em too!)

Re: Daily Drivers (TIMSPEED)
My 92 is still running strong with 127k miles that I try to drive at least once a week to the office - otherwise - its a weekend car. Daily Driver is my Exployer AWD 5.0 with 98k and the wifes car is a 02 Benz C-230 Coupe (15k miles and in the process of filing for a Lemon Law return - what a piece of junk).
