2008 chevrolet corvette specs

For most auto and automotive enthusiasts and collectors, in 1980 a" "Chevy decade." "Apart from the Chevrolet Corvette, which has long been confirmed as a collector's item, the growing interest in the Chevy's of all kinds was something of a new development in this period. For many years, it seemed the dominant force in the Old Car Hobby" was The Ford Motor Company - especially in the Ford model T Ford and the Model "A", the V-8, the Continentals and Lincoln Zephyr. Then in a more recent development of the 1965-66 Mustangs won big following too. But all of this very desirable Automotive Collectibles labeled "Chevrolet: and of course the more diminutive" "Chevy" Ford at that time was under fire.

The exact time and year in which Chevy known for something other than just reliable transportation is not difficult to see. In 1955 "Ed Cole's" remarkable 2165 V-8 gasoline powered engine came onto the stage, wrapped in one of the most beautiful spots in the then, what was called the "post-war period." The potent engine the way, not surprising in the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette has obviously become known as a high performance vehicle since then.

In most cases there is not a single car Corvette car that is not considered very desirable, and the 1955-57 Chevrolet standards remained a very desirable and Red Hot ticket item on the vintage car collector market.

Led by the two benchmark Chevs, the enthusiasm for other models flourished in the 1970s. Early attention focused on the Corvair - unique in the time between U.S. car manufacturers for a rear engined car, something patterned on the success of the Volkswagen Beetle. Because of security, an older version of the Corvair went out of production in 1969. This was despite the fact that the Corvair was updated and enhanced to improve the safety and handling. The Corvair will remain after this date in 2008.

In the late 1970s, boys and Auto Car enthusiasts began to other Chevy products, especially the mighty Super Sport Impala and Malibu is from the mid 60's. The increasingly strong interest in vintage models from as far back as the 1930 and 1940 is continuing. What does all this was a single word "Camaro".

One could say that they all "marketing." The Chevrolet Camaro is essentially the marketing department of the response to the success of the Ford Mustang.
It is often said that the dubbing is the biggest compliment, and also that a copy may "not be as good as the original. "" But in this case, Chevy has more than right.

The Camaro was conventional in the extreme case: security in comparison to the Corvette. The Camaro was certainly far less glamorous - in comparison to the Chevy Impala SS 409th Finally, with the exception of the Z-28, it was not exceptionally fast car.

So what makes the Camaro - as a legend, after such a motor car and requests. The answer in one word "personality". Camaro Everyone has them: the RS with its sporty tires, the Z-28 with his skills competition, in 1970 the second generation of the coupe with its unique styling. That went up to the early 1980s models, which kept alive the original "Ponycar" spirit of the 1960s.
