Seeing Red

No fire trucks?  I like these red 'Vettes!

Great display of Vettes!

Nice collection Frank.....no C4?

Here is my C5 getting dyno tuned after supercharger install....final run was 480 horsepower to the wheels.

@ben-lampson no red C4.

Oh, she is pretty Frank!

That LT motor in your 2016 is a different beast than the TPI motor in your '90.

As you know, the Corvette got the new 2nd gen LT1 in 1992, which was a huge bump in horsepower and torque over the TPI motor, and then in '97 with the new C5, it was again refreshed with a brand new engine with the LS1.

I went bone yarding yesterday, and saw 2 cars sitting next to each other, that you normally wouldn't find in a junkyard. There was a 1990 C4 Corvette and more surprising, there was a 1982 Z28 Indy 500 pace car factory replica! That Z28 should not be in the bone yard!

The C4 still had its TPI and the Z28 still had its 305 4 barrel, with the carb missing, but the 4 barrel intake was still there.

Also, a little fun fact about your beautiful C7.

GM initially designed the C7 to be the first mid-engined Corvette, but they were short on time and didn't want a skip year of production like what happened in 1983.

I believe they built at least one test mule C7 with the motor in the back.

@ben-lampson good stuff.  I started out with a 77 back in 1980 which was red on black 4 speed, cool car but a real dog for performance about 180 hp.  

1990 around 2000 with my father at the wheetl

First new was a 2007 which was great.  The 2016 (also new) really great balance and plenty of power for my needs.  (All were base model/manual)
