Living with Vette instead of Stang

[c9zx]

Being a Limey Brit - I'm allowed to take the whizz out of Merrriiicans. If you hadn't have given us a huge shipping container of whoopass at Bunker Hill, you'd all be playing poncey Cricket.

....anyway It's meant with love.

Imagine what would have happened if we hadn't run out of powder. I'm glad you ditched the Vette. Chuck

Sort of ... Peasant would a serious promotion for an Aussie - see image below

Wow! Who knew the Brits had color photography in 1792?

Purchased a 73 Stang vert. Then did this. Goodbye VETTE!
STANG way way way way more fun.

Wow, a lot of negativity towards the other American automotive icon. I'm motivated to try to balance that out a little... I've owned both, and for a while, did so simultaneously. Only reason I sold my C3 corvette was to help offset legal fees I knew I would incur as I fought for custody of my 2 toddler granddaughters - and would own one again. Of course, the Mustang will stay put regardless.

I’ve got agree, owning a Corvette is challenging. I have my father’s 1964 Corvette. It also marks its territory. I find that I drive it a day and wait a week for parts. But that 1 day of driving it is so worth all the wrenching.

Now, just to be fair, FoMoCo put an 8 Grand Tachometer, stock, in my '71 Mach. REALLY? God help me if my engine could EVER sees 8 Grand, and live to tell! I think that's just wishfull thinking on Ford's part, but it sho-nuff looks racey! For sure, with the factory supplied rear gearing of 3.00:1, even IF any factory engine could hit 8 Grand, why only give the car a 120 MPH speedo? But, why try to make sense of these things?

The 8k tach with 3.0:1 rear end is in case you dont feel like shifting gears that day. Drive all around town in 1st gear.

............and then,if you had ordered a performance package that would have gears and engine capability of turning more "Rs", the factory says " Oh no you don't", and puts a rev limiter on those cars to KEEP YOU from hitting big numbers. I knew a girl in school like that.........
