I take offense to that! Love it or not. You're connected to f-bodys. Corvettes always will be. The technology from corvettes. trickles down to the f-body every generation. I've owned three f-bodys now and loved every single one. Corvettes and f-bodys have their pros and cons.

I've owned 5 F-Bodies prior to the Vette, and loved every one of them.

Sorry, the "F" body has never been my cup of tea, but I believe the last generation was probably the best, especially the last model years as they tightened up the body of squeeks/rattles. I would never own one, due to the MORONIC things one must do to change plugs/wires on one. Spark plugs and wires shouldn't take 6-8hrs to change. I spent 7 years as a GM service tech ASEP instructor.........h'mmmm maybe I know too much!
