How Many Of You "Beat On" Your C3's?
 
All three of my C3's are pretty quick but I rarely beat on them so they remain good reliable street drivers. How many of you beat on your C3's on a regular basis (drag or track racing)?

My '72 is a convertible, in Florida, my only ride, I drive it quickly, as the capability of the car is FAR exceeding any stock '72 due to it being heavily modified.....not so much in the HP/engine dept, but as an overall machine.....so it get drive quicker than others......:D:smash:

Hell yeah I beat on it.. It's what they are for! They ain't station wagons.

It's very costly to beat on 'em. I just blew a rear end beating on mine.

But I was all grins while I was beating on it. :rock:

I built things so I would enjoy beating on it. That's how I roll.

I'm too busy keeping the headlights clean to drive it.

Mine is a convertible with no roll bar so they won't let it on a track. That's what the Porsche is for.

I wish I had a double pumper so I could

Beat on it? thought these were shrines you had to wring your hands over and stress about devaluing the car adding another mile to it. omg wtd!*4b :willy:

htown81vette 11-29-2015 10:45 PM

Not me, not at all. I have 2 C3's and baby them both. My track car I beat on a little though...

I run track days with the '69 every chance I get. I feel safer there than
driving around town dealing with all the brain-dead drivers texting on their phones.

hpxt 11-29-2015 11:01 PM

I do, er...I did. Spun a bearing last month, worse sound one ever hears. Waiting on the new 383.
