C3 Opinions

[x33rs]

I've owned a few of both. Wife drove them more than I did but in the end we lean towards Camaros. We just need/use the room the Camaro provides. The vettes were always a 2 person deal so never really enjoyed them as a family.

If you're single then I'd say go for it. My wife used them for daily commute back and forth to work for years and loves them. Ride is a little stiff, handle decent, comfortable once you get in. She liked everything about it, as a commuter.

As far as comparisons I think she likes driving the 69 Z as much or more. We are able to do more things in it as well, like shopping, trips with the family, so we get more use out of it. Rides a little better, doesn't handle as good, but those are things that have never been top on our list of wants anyway.

They are completely different cars. Depends on what you want. If you can get into one reasonably then I'd recommend give it a try at least once. Can always resell later if the desire wears off.

I have had quite a few C3 from 435 hp convs to a base 350 with a 3 speed. I like the way a C3 looks and drives, the biggest down side they are hard riding cars, but make up for it in looks and road feel. They are a blast to drive and I really like the layout of the interior I think they got it right. They are also a little harder to get in and out of but once you are in there is a lot of room and for me they are comfortable. I think every car guy should own one because it really is different from any other car from the era,
