1985 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe review from North America
"Pure adrenalin!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal wear and tear for a 20 year old. Leaking engine gaskets, leaking weather striping, 4/3 transmission overdrive feature needed retrofit. Added 160 degree thermo chip/fan switch/thermostat upgrade to keep engine running cooler. Install interior screw kit. Other misc. items.
General comments?
This is my first Corvette. It feels and handles like a race car. Its rough ride and almost "primitive" feel, compared to my 300z, makes my heart pound and my palms sweat! This is a true American sports car. I love it!
