About “pace”
1986 chevy corvette / pace car
pace car only made 7315, was FIBERGLASS FACT:In 1986 Corvette was chosen to pace the Indianapolis 500 and all 1986 Corvette convertibles received pace car replica status.
The convertible returned to the Corvette line late in the 1986 model year.
This was excellent news and fans of America's sports car were too enthused to wonder why it had been gone for ten years. Open air motoring carried a significant price increase however.
The convertible was a $5,000 premium over the coupe and at $32,032 it cracked the $30,000 price point by a significant amount.
Corvettes have always been prime targets for car thiefs, so a novel anti-theft system was introduced for the 1986 'vette. Embedded in each key was an electrical resistor whose value acted like a code. If the car did not read the correct code, starting was disabled and a built in delay prevented a restart attempt for two minutes.
About “Night Rider”
The Mitsubishi 3000gt has been my favorite car for many years, obviously i originally wanted the Vr-4 with 320 HP, but because i am only a 17 year old kid i could not afford one, so i had to settle for the SL. i bought it in April of 2008. i've never driven a really fast car but i feel like this car has enough for me for now, my only priority when buying a car is it had to be black, which it is. My favorite all-around color is like a bright green, so i went with the black and green theme for my car. so people like it other don't, but i like it. when i bought the car there were snow tires on it which i didn't know, so i got a really bad popped tire in the middle of the summer, so i got a good quality all season tire. the first thing i did to this car was build a custom Sub box and put my two 450 RMS watt kicker subs in. i also have a CB radio with a PA system off of it so i can yell at people from inside my car. The next thing i would like to do with this car is either sell it and get a VR-4, or put in a beefy single turbo.
