Automatic Transmission went after 70,000 miles. Automatic Traction Control went bad after 45,000 miles. Top Rattles.
Overall this car is the best thing I ever bought. I purchased an after-market hard top for it which made it even better. I don't buy expensive tires for the car. I bought my last tires at Pep Boys for $139.00 each and they ride 10x better than the Goodyear GSC tires that came on it. If you are looking for a great car that can reach 150 plus miles per hour and corner better than any other car, buy a Corvette. It is American as well which shows that you are not a poser driving a Porsche or BMW.
I have driven quite a few Vettes including your year. I currently have a 2000 Viper with the close ratio 6 speed. As you indicated Vettes are absolutely the best all time performers, but somehow I outpass them... but again its not a Corvette just a Viper...right?
Yes and you paid $30000 more for your car.
I love the muscle of my 1992 convertible Vette, but I also like the finesse and reliability of my 1983 911 Porsche.
