1983 Corvette

I always have fun with some people that try to impress me with their knowledge of Corvettes.

I tell them my favorite was the 1983

You would be surprised at how many tell me that was their favorite as well.

If I could have any 'Vette it would be the 1983. I would then sell it, buy a house on the lake, and a few toys for the garage

A simple transition phrase such as, "like the 2014 V6 Corvette, the 1983 never existed." would have made this thread C7 Forum material.
My favorite has always been the 1952 Corvette.
