FS - 1984 gold corvette - $5800

this baby runs excellent. one of the best handling corvettes of all time. top comes off this time of year for some stylish driving fun.

no major problems, runs like a beast. good tires, new radiator, new rack n pinion, new steering pump. post pics soon or email request them. hate to get rid of it but my new house has a narrow driveway and can't park it there.

May of Us like a very stiff suspension in our weekend pedal to the metal cars. that come out to play on the back roads and twisties .. feeling the road with our asses is exactly what we like...

Now for 300 mile rides down the interstate a 84 would NOT be my choice.... Heck I doubt if I could even get out of the Car at the rest stops.. so yes it would be an accident (wet pants) waiting to happen...

Worse than a 1960s Morgan? They rode like coal carts. Handled great though.

Had a 1984 Z-51 Vette ..among the worst cars ever produced in the world..nothing was any good..real piece of crap..rode like a freakin truck....and the windows.crossfire,digital dash,clear coat,workmanship were a complete disaster..1984 vettes should have gotten the worst ever built award..but then it would have been later given to GM for the rest of the Vettes.

My 1993 LT1 shakes so badly with the top removed it is almost impossible to control..WHAT KIND OF ENGINEERING IS THAT...???? Who in blazes designs a car with a removable top and then does not design the frame to be sturdy enough to prevent steering shake..is this American engineering at its best..?? No wonder Toyota just took over as the best selling car in America.!!!!!!

I happen to own an 84, sure it rides rough, I guess you could even say like a sports car, why would anyone want a soft riding sports car? The crossfire is easy to beef up to 295 HP with just a few changes to the cam, lifters and pistons. My '84 'rides on a rail', I drive the Dragon's Tail at least 4 times a year on my way to the casino and this car is one great ride. Now if you have ever owned an MG that's a car that you might describe with the adjectives you used. I have no idea where you live, Redbull, but driving a sports car is an owner option, If you want plush then buy a 2007, if you want true feeling and enjoyment buy a C4.

There is a group of us headed for the Dragons Tail, Deal Gap, 5/5/07, you going to be around that weekend?

Add the 'vert crossbracing to the frame. It was a bolt-on for the '89 and is probably likewise for the '93. About 500 bucks should eliminate this anger and eliminate the whining noise. ...less than you'd spend with a shrink to do the same. Order it through any dealer . Mid America had a sale on an aftermarket version sometime back--might still be available. Make your life easy by changing the fuel filter before you add the crossbrace.

Looks like I might miss it, 14 hour drive and everyone is tied up in school functions that weekend. I've done it before but would rather be a little more into spring greenery than this time of the year.

When are the bikes not there? ;-) Great people with a great place to ride.

I sure wish I had the oppertunity to run the Dragons Tail 3-4 times a year....Only did it once and on a day that every Motorcycle in the world was out there... LOL...still 11+ miles of pure driving pleasure...!
