If you have to ask, then maybe you dont belong here. Looks like the Z bug hasnt gotten around to biting you yet. Whats the big deal with corvettes? Why does someone like some songs that you hate? I guess its just personal. I think the are one of the best looking cars made in the 1970's and they still look good. Look around at cars that were made in 1970. How many of them had IRS? Not many and they cost twice the price of a Z. And with a little tweaking the Z could beat them. Most other cars were live axle, with pushrod driven valve engines, and antiquated suspension systems. Restore it, modify it, race it. It doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it.
