Hey, I drive an 2003 Dodge Neon SXT. It gets me where I need to go. I am looking at buying a 1999 corvette in the next month. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on the vette

Welcome to the site. Not nuch of a vette fan myself. But I'd just go with what you like.

wecome to fargostreet... the vette's a cool car... i say buy a honda, do an h22 swap and boost it, then you will allmost be as fast as a vette but with pride that the 4 cylinder will wax most cars with 8 cylinders.

Can't go wrong with a vette. I would rather have one over a boosted honda that is almost as fast.

[powder]

think of the insurance rates of the two compared

Id rather have the vette. a boosted honda? hooraw. a vette, is pimp. even though i am an import guy myself.

suggesting a honda over a Vette is....LAMEEE! If ur a domestic fan then Corvettes r nice.

You don't even really need to be a domestic fan to like a vette. Kinda like you don't need to be an import fan to like a supra or an NSX.

Get the Vette. You can make the Honda as fast as one but good luck making it handle like one. Not to mention they are pretty pimp to boot.

coming from somebody who drives a honda and thinks h22 swaps are god

I dont even think its a question

[Big-D]

well if you can find insurance for the vett as cheap as you can for a honda i would love to know... and i garuntee that you can make an import handle better than a vette

Gonna be tough to make a FWD one handle better, understeer SUCKS in FWD (or AWD for that matter) hence the reason that race cars are RWD

[Big-D]

i seen some awd cars handle better than rear

I have too.

But there is a reason most race cars are RWD.

if you get the honda over the vette or still debating...prepared to get laughed at.

Oh, don't get me wrong, there are ALWAYS exceptions to the rule and for some applications AWD or FWD may be adventageous. Generally speaking however, it is hard to beat AWD for handling capabilities.

For the average driver, AWD owns.

I say Vette or... if its close to what the 99 vette is get an 05 Mustang GT and add a blower. Youll WAX vettes all day long, and they handle really good. Not like a vette but with a couple of aftermarket upgrades they will out handle a vette.

And I personally think that the new mustangs look better then vettes.

BTW welcome to the site!
