Calling all Vette owners (past or present)

[NFS4]

I originally asked this of Russ, but I've been told that mods don't like direct questions to forum members so I changed the title.

So who has owned or currently owns a Vette?

 

[ltk007]

A) Drunk
B) Found a better car
C) Midlife crisis ended
D) Had to pay for the "organ" enlargement

take your pick

nfs4, you of all poeple should know better....

LOCK!

 

[NFS4]

I was gonna say he sold it for a lifetime supply of cigs...

*EDIT*


<< nfs4, you of all poeple should know better.... >>


Huh??? Did I do something wrong??

 

[Russ]

I sold it in 1991, two years after I went in to business for myself. It was one of the sacrifices that was necessary at the time.

1) What year was it?
2) How long did you have it?
3) What's the fastest you drove in it?
4) Did chicks look at you different while you were behind the wheel?

[RossMAN]

LMAO I hope you realize that I was just joking?

 

[NFS4]

Cool beans

Anyway, thanks for the response.

 

[urbantechie]

I made it bold

 

[Deicide]

My dad recently got a 1987 Corvette. It has 30,000 miles, and is in perfect condition, no scratches, dents, vibrations, nothing. He's put a SS exhaust on it, along with some other engine/computer mods, along with a new stereo, the stock one sucked.

 

[Viperoni]

I got one.......

/me awakes

*awwwwwwwww*

 

[Russ]

Deicide,

The stock Bose sound system was one of the best available in a production car when that Vette was built. You don't know the definition of &quot;suck&quot;.

Russ, NCNE

 

[Viperoni]

heh heh heh
Russ said the &quot;B&quot; word
heh heh heh

 

[Pacfanweb]

Agree with Russ. Stock Vette sound systems rock. I've yet to hear a better factory system.

 

[Viperoni]

Lexus (I think) + Mark Levinson = :Q :Q :Q :Q :Q :Q

 

[Deicide]

If Delco stereo systems were the best available in cars of that model year, then the bad ones must really sound like sh!t, because the stock system was tinny, had no bass, and distorted like crazy. No highs, no lows, must be...

And I probably do know the meaning of &quot;suck&quot; when it comes to stereo systems; theres about 15 grand worth of stereo equipment in the room next to me.

4. Duh, that was the point

So instead of a nerd they now saw you as a RICH nerd?

 

[RossMAN]

Lexus (I think) + Mark Levinson =

I have heard awesome things about the Mark Levinson sound systems in Lexus cars. Is it only available in the 430 or other Lexus models?

 

[NFS4]

That Mark Levinson is supposed to be fricken AWESOME!!

 

[Suicidal]

Yah Russ, that stereo in that vette sucked big brass balls. I should know, it's my old man too. I don't see how Deicide's opinion on the B(L)ose stereo has to do with him knowing what good taste is all about. Bose is crap, period. In the industry they are considered sub-par at best. That room he's speaking of has seen it's fair share of audiophile quality, high-end stero equipment from Krell monoblocks to Cary tube power and pre-amps and on and on. Speakers worth upwards of 40,000 and connecting cable worth more than yo momma (don't insult by wondering if it's Monster Cable, gadzooks man!). The '97 Mustang GT my brother used to have had the Mach 460 system and that was pretty darn good sounding and beat that vette's system all to heck and back. If you think a stock sound system in an '87 vette is heaven, you must be pretty far down in audiophile hell.

EDIT: You can barely hear the radio in a vette anyway... Between the engine/road noise/exhaust, you're lucky you can hear yourself think.
