      @@synergies7672 depends on the cars weight I suppose, my dads lil escort zx2 manual is decent, but it’s so easy to drive and so meh I’m not having much fun just punching the gas anymore.
      Don’t worry, I’m not banging off the rev limiter or abusing the thing, but I’m way to comfortable with 8 seconds to 60. Very slow anymore. I do all the maintenance and own my own vehicle, a 2003 Ford ranger xlt, it’s a nice truck, bought her for 1600 and after the maintenance and with only 82k miles she is now worth 5-6k I’m happy to say.
      I’m working as a carpenter and going to sell the ranger for a c5 corvette, just came back to this video to see more of em.

    I know a lot of people don't see the Corvette as a supercar. But it's nice to know when you buy a car it can keep up with a Lambo with a Ferrari and still make it to a 150k miles without needing an extra 50k worth of service

    • @zhixci958
      @zhixci958 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      a supra or r34 can keep up with a lambo with proper tuning and you'll probably spend the same as getting a corvette depending on the country you live in and those 2 aren't considered as supercars as well

    • @ericmeyer1373
      @ericmeyer1373 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Vipers didn’t come in v8. Vipers are V10 which many entry level super cars had. The viper was more of an exotic car because of that. Vettes are the one true American sports car.

    • @fatpad00
      @fatpad00 6 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Eric Meyer I'd disagree with you. The engine choice has little to do with it. Since the viper came onto the scene in the 90s, the two have been directly compared. The biggest difference being the corvette has "entry level" trims, while the viper more competed with the Z06/zr1, which have been on a much closer level.

    Well I must share my thoughts on this car. Thanks to this video and several others I managed to buy myself a 2000 C5 MT. The car is amazing even though it sometimes is hard to handle on the Polish roads. It also crackles, isn't very well fitted in terms of interior elements and is loud AF. for an average European customer it might be a total brute, but hey, that was the point of it. It didn't have to be a luxurious, well-silenced car, but a fast sportscar that kicks ass on the road and track. I think GM did a great thing and I hope I'll finish all the repairs soon. The Vette deserves far more recognition, as it redefined the American sports cars forever.

    That thing blew my mind, that an American car could not only compete, but dominate far more expensive European cars for half the money.
    Not only that, but good luck affording the maintenance on those European cars the Z06 was supposed to compete with back then.

      TheZombieSurvivalist Yep. Dad had one. Also went through an Mr2 and a MK4 supra. MK4 is obviously superior that's the reason for my other comment
