I think my 2006 Lincoln Zephyr runs a mid 15 1/4 mile. I dont really consider it a performance car. I hardly even view my 74 LS4 m21 Corvette a performance car.

@daveyboy6832 daveyboy, this reply about racing and performance has nothing to do with you etc.. i was trying to prove a point to me2003 which i did prove because he told me my 81 has no performance which me2003 is totally wrong. The 81 will beat a 82 in the 1/4 mile and top speed.

@Footballfathead8 Beautiful!

Love watching these guys paint a car with no mask or goggles.

@me20003 Here is another quote about the 82's crossfire on page 134 of the Corvette C3 68-82 Buyer's Guide by Richard Price. "The 1982 Corvette engine compartment was perhaps the most crowded and COMPLICATED in Corvette History. The cross-fire injection air cleaner and induction setup where used in 1982 models ONLY, making parts rather DIFFICULT to come by."

@me20003 This is from Corvette C3 Buyer's Guide" By Richard Price. Page 131 "Ever-increasing mechanical and electrical complexity owing not only to the plethora of emissions ruducing equipment found on 1982s and some earlyer C3s, but also to the steady addition of more and more features, makes 82's more prone to certain problems. These include sensor,solenoid,and valve failures:vacuum leaks; electrical shorts; and catalytic converter failure".

Love the car, but those guys spraying the car with no masks at 3:07 are out of their mind....

@BrotherHubbs Cool beans!!! Mine is white with red....and you'd be surprised how affordable they can be.....and the best part is you can get all kinds of replacement parts for them,some even NOS....I got very lucky with both the '95 and the L-82,but low-mileage jewels are still out there....I say keep yours and enjoy...their value will increase as time goes by....I know I'll keep mine!! All the best....

@VettemanLT5 I agree completly what you said about the 80 with the L-82 engine with more power. Maybe one day if i have enough money, I will get a 80 L-82! I myself own at the present time a 1981 Red with Red interior and i love it! I can stare at the car for hours it is so gourgous. They have bodies on them like a barbie doll! LOL

[VettemanLT5]

@BrotherHubbs I agree but I'll go even further.Try to find an '80 model with the L-82....more power than the Cross-Fire and a lot easier to service and maintain.I just found one with 12,000 miles...couldn't pass it up.Now that one keeps my '95 ZR-1 company at my storage.....the look from behind the wheel of the C3's with those fenders swooping like they do is priceless....of those 3 years,the 1980 is the one to get....all are great though.
