Performance would buy
 

Smaller Motor -- 350 hp. But still V8 just for sound
Less race emphasis electronic - reg hud, car vitals
cruising suspension and tire options
more interior comforts, radios, seats,

Most of these cars will never see a track, all out speed, ripping them
to the limit.

If look back to older vettes, they had motor choices, suspension more
touring oriented.

Have the other models too for the boy wanna be racers.

The C5 had all the power needed

Do I get this straight?
You're posting in the tech / PERFORMANCE section, asking for a smaller engine?
Confused...

So you are looking to significantly DOWNGRADE in the power department to the 350HP level. Why not buy a base 911. They are down at the 350HP mark and only cost about $100,000 with a few options. LOL!

:crazy2:

or...you can simulate V8 sound through the speakers, slap a 4 cyl engine in there.

You are one of the worst posters in the C7 section. It shows in nearly every one of your posts.

I think his point is, he would take all these "downgrades" to pay considerably less.

I further think his point is, in the 60's and 70's there was up to 6 engine choices I believe, so if you just want a two seat cruising car that looks good, a good v8 sound and nothing to crazy under the hood, he, and really many people would like that.

Lets be honest, 80% (im guessing, but I think im right) of these cars will never see any kind of track with the original owner.

So go buy a C5 and you'll have the perfect car for you. The guys in the C5 sections have my sympathy once that happens. :sadangel:

This is beyond true. I had a ton of fun in my 1987 Convertible with a whopping 245 HP.

In a not too related subject... Sea Doo just came out with a model called the Spark. They rolled the price, size, and power back to the mid 90's.

Guess what, it's selling like crazy and will continue to do so.

If you apply that logic to Corvette and you could get a brand new and modernized C4 for 35 grand...

:rofl:

Pro tip: Don't ever try to make sense of his posts.
