Loose Cannon Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Absolutely gorgeous The split windows must have looked like they came from Mars when they appeared in the early 60s. My favourite Vette is the Callaway Speedster, also the prototypes, like the Aerovette, and the forgotten gem that was the ZR1 Spyder.

ajheath Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Jon, There is a guy who camps with us at Le Mans every year and has a 7ltr C3 Vette. We asked him what MPG he gets, and he said if he was careful 7, and if your not we enquired? 1 he replied!!!! Made me fell all smug about the 32 I was getting from the GT3. Nice Vette by the way Lotusvette. I always loved the Stingray, something Sci Fi about it I always thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotusvette Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) hi jon , sounds like your mates vette is a big block, anything between 5-10 mpg is good although mine is a small block, its 400 bhp, manual and only gives 12 mpg at best anytime, a low tune small block could return 18-20 but only just, talk about carbon footprint, steve exaust is a handmade stainless twin 3"system with aero free flow mufflers , sets of car alarms, rattles the floor and has been built to take 600 bhp, i never put on the radio, the noise is fantastic danny, car was last used in 1992, when it competed in circuit racing in europe, it then was took off the road with head trouble, and thats how it stayed till i bought it in 08, it was black, and needed it all doing, big money was spent by previous owner, and i redone it all again, 6 months later it was out and about, as you see it now, its stunning and needs nothing, fully detailed below and above Edited October 27, 2009 by Backmarker Unnecessary quotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
