1998 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe review from North America
"A high performance bargain. I eat Ferrari's and Rice Burners for lunch."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Service Traction Control message showed up one time. But went away. Dealer can't find problems.
Seats rocks a little.
Stock GoodYear tires are junk. Throw them away ASAP!
General comments?
This car is seriously quick stock.
The base suspension is too comfortable and needs to be firmer.
The most comfortable seats I have ever being in. My bad back love the seats.
Upgraded the suspension, brakes, and engine to 450HP and still dead reliable and drivable.
Now the car is quicker, but I want 500HP and 650HP on Nitrous. Got beat by a700HP Vette.
Very low Maintenance car, coolant at 100k, oil every 6k, never on transmission and differential, 100k on plugs. You really don't have to do much at all.
