Ant, not close to your heart ?

Now you are getting into your stride .

Desperately pitifully uncool, especially if you own one in the UK. You will look like a complete **** everywhere you go in your tight jeans and cowboy boots.

Oh and I'd love one.

Cool as ****.

there is only one cool american car and it isnt this

nice wheels though

#6 (**Post Link**) 18-06-10

i'd certainly borrow one for a weekend but never buy one, uncool

#7 (**Post Link**) 19-06-10

American Engine, European designed Chassis. FINALLY!

Ferrari crushing performance, with half the price tag.

Really, really, really uber cool

#8 (**Post Link**) 19-06-10

Exactly HST, exactly.

Is it wrong I like the yellow ones?

A good car yes, but simply not cool.

David Jarrett · #10 (**Post Link**) 21-06-10

I like it - but it's not cool

10,500RPM · #11 (**Post Link**) 21-06-10

Chrome wheels, plastic bootlid..... Uncool

A American sports car that looks good and handles well plus much cheaper than any European equivalent. Must be cool, if it wasn't American it would go sub cool but it's only cool.

That's because they are built down to a price normally

Hell no I wanted a yellow vette, and she wanted a blue one, we got a red one lol

After a black charger, and a ren n white 61, any yellow vette - please (cept 78-82)

A man of taste. 78-82 would be the last of the C3s with the sticky out Jimmy Hill chin spoiler?

The spoiler at the front changed a bit from 78 t0 1980 and then got JH chin, but worse it got the big back window instead of the "suger scoop" small window that mine had

Glad someone thinks I have taste...its been questioned more than once lol, but I guess you knew how I'd vote on a Vette

Great fun for sure and desirable in a guilty-pleasure way but not even remotely adjacent to cool.

Now forgive me for not knowing the exact model number or year but the mid 60's one with the split rear windows really is cool.

Saddo alert that'd be a 1963 Sting Ray, 4 spd manual, 3.7.1 posi axle
0-60 in 5.6
quarter mile in 14.1 @ 102
V max 151
360bhp @ 6000 rpm
352 ft lbs torque @ 4000rpm

Not bad for 47 years ago

Oh and drum brakes

And crossply tyres

I'm not sure I'd fancy driving it in anger on anything riskier than Gran Turismo

but it's a genuinely

car now.

jabberwocky · #24 (**Post Link**) 28-06-10

great car but completely and utterly uncool

now a stingray or sting ray, would be a different matter
