Check out this badass 82 Corvette I saw at the hardware store! You don't normally see the C3s with this many upgrades! She's a screamer! 😁

Crazy that people don’t build these more. This is probably my favorite corvette generation.

@mireliomarzo6468 3 ай бұрын

Don’t get build because they handle like crap, are slow , vacuum leaks everywhere, cramped cabin, and they made thousands and thousands of them. Pretty nevertheless .

I just bought a 380hp/420 torque crate engine for my 1975 Corvette. I also got brand new upper and lower control arms and brakes. I’m hoping to have it at the track next month.

The vette look nice asf I’m young but I wouldn’t put a screen in that thing maybe swap it out with the ls like he did or put a 454 in it but not the screens just a lil radio so I can use the aux or maybe a wireless bt but not the screens I would wanna keep it as close to stack as possible but never the less it’s beautiful

Wrong. In 1980, if you bought a Corvette in California, it would come with a 305 engine in order to pass their stupid emissions laws. Look it up. TOP 50 WORST CARS EVER! 🤣

the engine is not making 600hp .its making close to what GM rates them at .unless you port the heads and install a bigger cam .once you tune a EFI engine set up ,you don't need to retune it ,unless you make any major changes to the intake or exhaust ,or you had a bad tune to begin with

@tangtangkat101 Жыл бұрын

All C3's came from factory with a posi. You should not be making video's about cars. Corvettes never had a 305. Bob driving a car that was built for him and you not knowing anything about what you are talking about. Great.

@WagsAutomotive Жыл бұрын

"The 305 cubic-inch LG4 spent only one year beneath the Corvette's hood, before eventually being replaced the following year when those at GM finally found a way to bring the 350 cubic-inch small-block into compliance with California emissions standards. This engine would come to be known as the L81" Quote - enquote Now who's the idiot, idiot. And guess what? He told me that he moved to North Carolina from CALIFORNIA! So I guess your the moron! 🤓🤣

Sigh, there was little need for the criticism only an appreciation for the impromptu show case of this nice car. The presenter was just trying to stimulate conversation and to glean facts about the build.
