[lowandslow]

its alright

 

[cheese9988]

I'd give you $47k but that about equals my school loans

It gets 19mpg in the city hmm..........

 

[integraslut78]

As long as you don't get into an accident it's cool but if you do ONE WORD


DEAD

I feel safer in my Integra than a Corvette.

 

[jamesA]

Why's that? the frame is more rigid than the C5 Corvette's and it does still have crumple zones and airbags. The fiberglass may not crumple/absorb as well as sheet metal but you're not necessarily going to die from a collision just because of what the body is made out of.

[liquid00meth]

12.7 stock?

2,000 invested and I bet its deep 11s


thats so fucking fast out of the box

 

[jamesA]

2000? try $1000. a 100 shot of nitrous on an LS1 powered Vette has it into the mid 11s...

 

[JDMilan]

pretty sweet if you ask me...........they did a great job on the cluster.

the steering wheel is ugly but hey, after market units are dirt cheap.

[Speedracer228]

on corvette forums i saw they had 2 pple who made high 11 passes stock, with lots of practice and the right air pressure

 

[TurboMirage]

its just not the same without the popup headlights.

 

[MaaseyRacer]

I would still take an Elise over that car, and I am a huge corvette fan.

MUCH PROPS TO THE ELISE!... 1.8 l in a car that weighs a little over 1400 lbs... take 400 lbs out.. and make it reach about 240 hp at wheels... AND IT WINS!!

 

[posol]

its specs are similar to the evo 8 RS... handeling, 0-60, 1/4 is a little faster in the vette, similar braking...

and the evo is 10k cheaper, and being a turbo car, is way eaisier to get an extra 100 hp out of with just a couple minor boost upgrades.


and the dsm will probably last you 100k before the entire intrior decides to fall apart like every other chevy on the road....
