When I was young, probably around 1980, I remembered seeing a Corvette C3 with my sister and I asked her what she liked about the Corvette and she said "it looks like it has muscles." ....and that suddenly explained everything to me.

I went for a rip in a 1980 Vette in 81 with my Uncle's friend. It has a built 350 upgrade, and as a 13 year old car enthusiast, I never forget the hood view, how low the ride, the quality of ride, the sound and acceleration of the Vette. I now have a C6 Z06, and feel thrilled every time I'm in it. Corvette fever is not a myth, lol :⁠-⁠)

Picking up my 77 this weekend. Can't wait!

Not a muscle car it’s an American sports car 👍

The majority of pages/website call it muscle car, but honestly now i'm curious to know which is the correct way to call it. I will do some more research, thanks buddy 🤙🏻

Nothing like revving that 1977 beast to it's 4,500 Redline and letting that 150 hp throw you back in your seat as you burn the tires for about 3 feet. Viva American Cars!

Unfortunately this being a 77 (post 73 oil crisis) and an auto it won’t be the most sporty and exciting experience probably. But it’s still cool to see such nice cars in excellent condition rolling around. Also gotta remember it was built for ‘muricans to enjoy, not Europeans used to lighter cars with smaller engines and mostly manual transmissions.

I agree at 100% with what you just said and I add that even if this beauty was built for the American market/roads, I'm really pleased to see that some of them arrive here in Europe. Driving this car is an unique and wonderful experience that I hope every car enthusiast will experience one day 💪🏻

Great video well done great review

I love the looks of the C3 Corvettes but like everyone else I just wish they had more horsepower 😊

@TheWastedDriver

I think the horsepower of the car are perfect, obviously arrive around 300 it's surely fun don't get me wrong. But i'm pretty sure that will change enormously how you feel the car and thats a shame because this beauty it's a unique experience.

Very easy and cheap to add power to these cars.

But with more power you have to change others parts too or will not follow. At that point became a completely different car no?

@@TheWastedDriver Stock driveline can easily handle 300 to 400HP. But upgrading trans, rear end, brakes, suspension, etc still doesn't make it a different car. The C3 platform is a good base to start with and will always have an iconic look to it.

@TheWastedDriver stock the car makes less than 150hp to the wheels and most people are going 80mph+ on the highways by me. It was very challenging at times to merge with such short on ramps and little horsepower.
