1999 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe review from North America
"Unbeatable performance for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering column has locked up twice while parked. EMT tires are expensive (about $400 each). A little quiet for my taste.
General comments?
This car is a truly amazing machine. This is Corvette #3 for me. My first two were an '85 and a '92. The '99 performs exceptionally well. Acceleration is heart-stopping. Handling is superb. Interior looks brand new after three years. ABSOLUTELY NO WEAR AND TEAR IN THE INTERIOR. Very comfortable for long trips as well. Superior sound system.
I desperately want to supercharge this thing, but blowers are a little tough to find for this car. Car responds well to upgrades, however. I think a shift kit is in order as well, but car shifts hard as it is. :)
