1986 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 review from North America
"A real Corvette!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windows.
Exhaust.
Valve covers.
General comments?
Those of you dissi'n the 86'Vette, don't know how to drive it. I have a 99' and this 86' will run circles around it. She's been chipped, but that's it. It has the 4 + 3 tranny, which takes some skill to utilize to it's full potential. But driven right, this car is smokin fast!!
As far as styling. I get more stares and glares from car enthusiast and non car people. It has a modern look, but still keeps the classic "Vette look" with that big a** hood!
Yes it has it's problems and rattles. But this car gets driven hard, and put away wet!
