depending on the year of your C4 corvette it will have between 205 and 300hp
I assume since you got a good bang for your buck, it wasn’t a later model with 300hp since I’d assume those fetch a premium, so you are probably looking at a 245hp car.
now that car is 35 years old, so a lot of those ponies left the barn by this point. And again, good bang for your buck probably meant it wasn’t the most well maintained.
So you are probably sitting on a whopping 200hp at this point.
So that’s 200hp at 3250 pounds…for comparison purposes the BRZ has 228hp at 2815 pounds and is considered a dog by pretty much everyone
In other words, if your tires were built in the last 10 years, you’ll probably have trouble even breaking traction in the rain
good, its criminal that “cheap” cars all but disappeared. 90% of people don’t need a $30K car to commute in
the cheapest car right now is the $17,790(msrp + destination) Mitsubishi Mirage and that just feels extremely overpriced for the segment.
6 years ago, the 2017 Honda Fit started at $17,780 and that is 100x the car that the Mirage is.
