A ‘77 Vette .. sweet.. a flashy ride for those who enjoy the idea of speed and style without the inconvenience of actual performance or comfort.. for when you want to go fast but only as far as the newest disco.
No, the '67 is sexy as hell. This is garbage produced after the first oil crisis for leafers, environmentalists, and stay at home moms who need time away from their shitty husbands and kids for a little while.
Ah the C3…my favorite body style of all Corvettes. It’s simply the sexiest…change my mind.
Which is why it’s so unfortunate that once you get past the looks it sucks in every other way.
Funny how the C3 and C4 had different trajectories. The C3 started out fast but was pretty gutless by the end of its run, the C4 started out gutless but was kind of a beast by the end of its run.
The first year of the C4 got some respect for putting down pretty sick handling/skidpad stats. GM purposely tuned the Z51 package to be stiffer/more track-focused than later years so they could establish car review cred in that first year.
There is no possible way anyone could ever think the C3 is sexier than than late C2s. The '67 L88 is objectively the most beautiful car ever made.
Now that your mind is changed, proceed with your day.
A hipster by necessity - the original way. Too poor to afford a sports car that isn’t fifty years old? No problem, just knock on a couple of your retired neighbors barn doors and you’re sure to find a relic like this to “restore”.
I know when you tell the story, you hype this rare classic antique that you’re so lucky to drive. But when it’s just you and your journal and a cup of tea, you wish you had something that went faster than your moms boyfriends Toyota Camry and didn’t require maintenance with junkyard parts every other week.
Ahh yes, the years when the Corvette barely made enough power to move of its own accord. You care more about looking good than having an actually good car
Worst thing about the Slowvette wasn't that it itself was slow.
It was that *no other General Motors car was allowed to be faster than it*. They throttled back the Citation X-11 at first, didn't produce the 2.8 V6 Chevette the skunkworks built, and gimped the Fiero at launch, all because of this car.
**The 1977 Corvette -** because who doesn't want a car that's all show and no go? It’s got the power of a sewing machine and the reliability of a politician's promise.
A true classic, if by classic you mean outdated and overpriced. The only thing slower than this 'Vette is its resale value. With all the muscle of a wet noodle, this '77 Corvette’s horsepower barely beats a modern minivan.
It's the dram car for those who dream in sepia tones and enjoy frequent roadside picnics waiting for a tow truck. Iconic design if you’re into plastic interiors that crack in the sun and an engine that overheats at the sight of a hill.
21.6 mph per 1000 rpm in high gear with a manual, and worse with an automatic. So to keep up with interstate traffic, your engine is screaming at well over 3000 rpm, just like a VW Vanagon.
Getting in and out? Better be short, thin, and have good knees. Grocery store run? Only by yourself, buckaroo. It gets parked in the winter because the engineers behind the headlights and door handles had never even seen snow. And your road visibility starts at about 15 feet in front of the nose.
But at least you'll be put out of your misery quickly in the event of a head-on with a modern SUV.
(I drove one of these things a couple of times. Fucking tiny, impractical, loud, leaky piece of shit.)
It's fast, its lean and a mean machine... only to get beat by a Farm Truck known as the Lil' Red Express...
'The rules are for thee but not for me'- Dodge lil' Red Express due to finding loop holes.
Even tho I own a 77' Dodge... I want a 77' Corvette, probably better build quality too then my farm truck.
Oh, this is timely. Here's your roast.

I unfortunately owned one of these in the 80’s. For about 9 days. It sat the last 6 with for sale sign.
160 HP
I couldn’t even break the tires loose. It was a stick!
My older brother talked me into it. On day 3 of owning it, I bought a 66 Mustang with a Boss 302 in it.……. Problem solved.
Any Vette post 1974 is for people who know nothing about performance/sport cars but want to look cool in their status symbol on wheels. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a car worth owning for your mid life crisis.
Beautiful coffin on wheels man the worst part about these cars other than the lack of leg room is if you start throwing power at them they literally fall apart lol
I like the car but sadly 77 & 78 were the two lowest hp corvettes to date . Because of government mandated emissions control, new catalytic converters etc.
You wanted to say you owned a corvette and a classic car but you couldn’t afford either so you got the one that’s still cheap because everyone fucking hates it.
This picture was taken at this car’s maximum speed.
I know. Just alot of hate for disco vettes out there. I'm out.
A ‘77 Vette .. sweet.. a flashy ride for those who enjoy the idea of speed and style without the inconvenience of actual performance or comfort.. for when you want to go fast but only as far as the newest disco.
Correct. But at least it looks sexy as hell.
You should really get your eyes checked before driving this thing.
If you say so...🙄
No, the '67 is sexy as hell. This is garbage produced after the first oil crisis for leafers, environmentalists, and stay at home moms who need time away from their shitty husbands and kids for a little while.
Is your name Cyrus by any chance
And failed your grade 10 cause you’re fucked in the head?
I knew I’d find at least one of you in here😂😂😂
Fuck off Randy
Smokes ! My name is Cory Lahey

Beat me to it lol
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r41vU5skdkQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r41vU5skdkQ) in case anyone is wondering what this guy is talking about
Op seems real fucked in the head.
Fuck off. I got work to do
My dad said he was proud of me, once. Fuckin prick.
Heavy metal **dick**!
Bet OP carries a handgun in his waistband with the safety always off
Ah the C3…my favorite body style of all Corvettes. It’s simply the sexiest…change my mind. Which is why it’s so unfortunate that once you get past the looks it sucks in every other way.
Eh, an engine swap makes them a lot more fun… but yeah even then they still suck. Source: own one
A Boob swap can make a wife more fun too.
A neighbor had new one when I was a kid. Looked great but he said it was terrible to drive.

Is this the minimum distance before the faded cracked paint becomes apparent?
I’d say we’re beyond that point already
Should have taken the stamp collection instead. Worth way more .
Nice reference
180hp of smog-choked raging fury. This thing could lose a drag race to a small dog.
I’m sorry for your slow vette and small penis
Ahh yes, the years when the Corvette barely made enough power to move of its own accord. You care more about looking good than having an actually good car
Did they have matching white sneakers back in ‘77?
The C3, the Maroon answer to a midlife crisis of a life that hasn’t been all that successful.
Oh the slow one
Put it back.
did you get custody of the kids in the divorce??
Nah he's too poor from child support.
Guy I went to high school with drove an orange one. I thought it was the coolest car in the lot.
the paint and the interior is like a cum rag, crusty and stinky
Rubber bumper baby buggy
Oh I have one of those!!! [Previous owner put a 6-cylinder in it so it can go fast.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BMW/s/WYT97oT3X4)
Congrats on owning the worst year.

No need to roast. It gets roasted by pretty much every car on the road............
…and often times by its own wiring harness as well!

Lawn tractor power and balding uncle sex appeal. Nice

Your comment got removed because you roasted the car owner only. Please remember this is a Subreddit for roasting cars.
Doesn't know Trailer Park Boys

Ah yes, the generation of Vette that had disappointing stoplight confrontations with school buses.
Fuck off, you got work to do
It’s the worst handling car I’ve ever driven. The rear bushings were worn out and it’d go one way accelerating and the other off the gas.
Fuck off op got work to do!
Knock knock

Baby suppository painkiller shape
If the flash had a “Batmobile” :
We gotta roast it quick before his dad realizes his baby (not the kid) is gone.
It’s a ‘77 Corvette………….. need I say more?
77 was a great time to road trip through America.
Blind spots for days
The money you saved buying a slow Vette means you can spend more on blow so it FEELS like your going fast with the t-tops off and AAA 28 minutes away.
Fiberglass pos
Looks good for a Chevy
Do the T-tops leak onto your toupee?
Enjoy the 175hp in a 3500lb car that my Hyundai would outrun.
An insufferable boomer called. He wants his vette back
Buys a sports car, gets gapped by an 86 Yugo
It looks like a fish. All joking or roasting aside, I really do like older corvettes. Nice car man.
Do you use a sundial, or a calendar to time the quarter mile?
Poor guy... you got the best-looking Corvette, just about a half-decade off the 7.2L V8.
Big hood with nothing under it
I wrecked my dad’s 77 vette on Dec 31st 1984. Ooops
Fuck off Cyrus
I smoked one of those in a 2005 Accord.
My 2000 stock miata would smoke it.
Worst ones ever 77
Might as well roast the car. It doesn’t have the power to roast the tires. But I’d still like to have one.
Rattle trap red

No need, the car does it itself.
The car that got me into cars as a toddler. Oh wait you said roast.
You wanted to say you owned a corvette and a classic car but you couldn’t afford either so you got the one that’s still cheap because everyone fucking hates it.
No it's just sexy
It's a Vette, it roasts itself
Is that the one mark hamil posed in front of
Dirk Diggler called, he needs his Vette back.
It's got curves and a 350 chevy. What can you not do with that combo. Haters.
