Dark Side of The Torque: 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82
I’ve said this before, but I think it needs repeating — I’m not against progress. I think that stuff needs upgrading and technology is great…but the thing about the Corvette is that it was never a competitor to an actual Ferrari. It still isn’t…despite what the mainstream car fishwrap pundits might let you believe…because the Corvette was all about power…stupid, tire-roasting torque, and unlimited power. The Ferrari is Rey from the new Star Wars trilogy — gorgeous, overly powerful, lithe, graceful and sweet…but the Corvette is, and always will be Episode 3 Palpatine. Unlimited power and unnecessary cowls/scoops/hoods. Don’t fret…it’ll get worse because some day the Corvette will be an electric all-wheel-drive, self-steered, google-pod…but you don’t have to buy one of them, because you have this 1979 Chevrolet Corvette L82 offered for $9250 in Dothan, AL via craigslist.
