How many Ex TVR owners now have a Corvette?

[Vet Guru]

How many of you on here use to own a TVR before the Vette or maybe have both??

[BLUETHUNDER]

Was going to be an ex.But couldnt part with the Cerbera in the end.Just completed a weekend at the Nurbergring,and Spa with the Vette, and the Cerbera boys.And we all made it back without problems.The Vette was a brilliant car on the Autobahns,and kept pace with the Cerbs most of the times.Managed 165mph at one point.

A C6 Z06

[Ian V]

Yep me too. Had a 400se wedge, now on my second Vette.

[G4HKS]

Five Griffith 500's (yes, 5, I must be mad), a 3000M thrown in somewhere amongst them too.

1 x C5 then current C6. Now when's that ZO6 arriving?

[GW65]

I had a Griffith 500 for 6 months in the mid-90s, in a very fetching shade of Raspberry Pearlescent It spent more time at Henley Heritage being fixed than it did on the road, so on the occasion of its final breakdown I told HH I didn't want it back and to make me an offer. Only lost £2K on the deal - those were the days! Still the loudest, quickest thing I've ever owned although the C6 is pretty close.

Had a long hard look at the big wedge way back when before getting into a Lotus Esprit and then the C5 Vette. Corvette is surely THE V8 sports car of the moment in Europe where they're not a common sight on the road but have all the benefits of proper engineering development and mass production.

Here's a picture of my old wedge. Really great 'fun' car, with a soundtrack to die for.

Those wedges though!.They just sound

[panic]

I have my Griffith 500 model year '96 since new and have also a C3 '77 corvette fully modded lightened to 1.260 kgs and with a 575hp 406ci SB ''American speed'' powerplant...Both cars has their cons and pros, main con of the Griffith it's BS stock efi ecu (with its gremlins)...on the contrary main pro of the vette its huge 850cfm race Mighty Demon carb...

Titan,

haven't seen you on here for a while. Dropped by your place last Wednesday on my way back from an appointment in Peacehaven but couldn't see you around.
Having a day off?

Hi James, sorry to have missed you. You are allways welcome for a coffee and chat.Plus you could give me your opinion on how the car now looks.Its funny but i've never changed/added to or modified any previous vehicles, but the corvette...well. The rear wing is now even larger....I have a front splitter....side skirts,fitted before ZR1 came along and copied!....and black chrome wheels,plus some other bits. I know there are normally strong opinions on this sort of thing ,but I love it! Holden GTS/R now gone.......but will have new GTR arriving next july.Hope you are doing well. Martin.

[555ST]

Martin, your mods sound awesome! Would love to see the car. It's a very long time since we met up at Shelsley...
