At the end of 1962, there
At the end of 1962, there were groups that said they would never drive a Corvette that didn't have a straight axle. Some of those folks are still around and if you don't think they were right, check the price on a fuel injected '62 Corvette. There were people that couldn't wait to get their hands on the 68 when it came out, and now the 67 is considered a classic. When the 84 came out, it was car of the year, and I doubt that anyone would pay over 12k for the best one out there. When the 97 came out, it was goodbye to the small block and the end of an era. Whoa, the good ole days for the Corvette were at a close. Anyone not like the new LS and LT series? The C7 was touted to be the best Corvette ever (I wonder, which one was really best for it's time), but at the end people believed that they were equipped with park benches and handled slightly better than a Corvair. Times change. Some of the new models are super fantastic. Some are not. Enjoy the change. Make your own decisions. I won't let go of my 69, but I'm interested in MY comparison between the C7 and C8. If you on the East Coast, I will see you at Carlisle and possibly Kerbeck.
