@thedreadedone They can hit 150, but this was just a small part of the autobahn..;)

Hehe, stond de vette in sport drive toen julle de autobahn op gingen? en hoeveel word ermee gereden, en gaat er vaak iets kapot?

[JMCarfreak91]

@tomboman De vette heeft niet in één of ander tijdschrift of iets dergelijks gestaan. Helaas wordt er te weinig mee gereden. 1 keer in de 2 - 3 weken... Wij onderhouden hem zo goed mogelijk en hebben er vrij weinig problemen mee gehad. De accu hebben we echter wel moeten vervangen en het dashboard geeft wel eens "service engine soon" aan terwijl het nergens mee te maken heeft. Interesse om er ook één te kopen??

[tomboman]

Is there already a part 2? and are you from the netherlands ? i love this vette and i would like to know more about it!

[JMCarfreak91]

@tomboman No there is not jet a part 2, hopefully this summer we will go to Germany. And yes we are from Holland;)

You are an idiot. Despite the high rate of speed, the Autobahn is on average, one of the safest motorways on earth. Much safer than anything here in Australia anyway!

@vasylpoz you do realize that most car built between 1974 and 1989 were generally terrible looking and extremely underpowered right?

@MetaView7

Its from 1986! The poor thing is like 25 years old... Not too many cars had nice dashes in that era either.

@tomboman huh?

[deniseaustinlover]

@RIEKSONE I was being a bit condescending in my post because the L98s were so asthmatic and low-revving that they resembled truck engines. And to top it off, they didn't sound very pleasing at all. Contrast that to today's Vette engines that are high-revving but extremely flexible, providing excellent low-end torque with great high-end horsepower. And they *sound* fantastic too! The Corvette's drivetrain has come a long way!

[RIEKSONE]

@deniseaustinlover

yeah they got good low end torque

[sbeer6er]

@thedreadedone yeah i'm used to seeing my speedometer go to 150 in first gear at a blip of a throttle, of course it's not in a car that I do that.

wonder how the other residents thought of the Vette...it must be a unique sight to see for European drivers...some may have never heard of the Vette. 140-145mph was right for the '84, then it went to 145-155 from '85 to '91 when they switched to the LT-1.
