For all the TR rice worshipers and kids born after 1990:

Officially, There were no 1983 Corvettes. There were forty seven 1983 Corvettes made but none were ever sold. The National Corvette Museum has the only 1983 known at this time. The new Corvette plant in Bowling Green, KY closed in October of 1982 to begin retooling for the 1984 Corvette. Production began in January of 1983 and the press received their first view of the 1984 Corvette in January of 1983. In February, the first production 1984 Corvettes were sold to the public. In March of 1983, the 1984 Corvette officially went on sale in the United States, except for California and a month later, in April, the 1984 Corvette went on sale in California. By October of 1983, the plant was in full speed production.

Since the Vette battery warmed you up, next on your list should be a New Beetle.

as i told my friend the other day who works on and owns a Honda and was working on a Mustang and had the same complaint as you do, those types of cars are built for speed not simplicity and speed like a built Honda.

notice i said built before anyone starts jumping around ...

every car has parts that are just impossible to deal with. intake manifold on a Honda ... not fun or easy to get to those lower bolts.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
