Talk:Chevrolet Corvette (C3)

message: Why is the 85 listed in the production notes when the C3 only went until 82? Especially since 84 is skipped altogether? The description reads more like it's a typo for the 82 CE.---Puff (talk) 17:41, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I took it back out until there's some clearer explanation.  I guess it could be for the 1983 calendar year, although with the notes being mostly cut & pasted from 1982, and being the user's only edit, I don't have too much confidence in it. --Vossanova o< 19:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The 83 is more similar to the C4 than to the C3, so even if that were the case it wouldn't fit within this article. Thanks for the edit.---Puff (talk) 16:47, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  1985 Model year in production notes 

message: While I think the hot wheels reference is an interesting tid bit, I don't think it belongs in the lead.  The opening paragraph should cover the most important details and give the reader a basic overview of the topic.  While I think the hot wheels bit should be in the article, the first paragraph should be as clear and concise as possible.  What do you think? --Leivick (talk) 07:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree. I moved it up as there was a small intro. I will add new text to the intro and bring the Hot Wheels bit down to History section. Article will be expanded...I have many sources of info. I also have to add references to existing text yet. (Vegavairbob (talk) 08:18, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Opening sentence

message: There are a fair number of Car and Driver/Road and Track reports up until the 1978 models. The reviews after that (and some of the less carefully selected quotes from before that) were not nearly as glowing as this article portrays them out to be. I didn't want to jump in and start a massive re-write without asking you guys first, but it does seem like it's been written by someone from Chevrolet who was trying to skip over some of the less then spectacular areas of the car. I'm not trying to say that it's terrible, far from it, just trying to be accurate and honest.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.223.177 (talk) 21:33, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Bias?

message: There are some mistakes in the engine line-up.  I corrected a few minor problems, but the L88 for 68 and 69 is not shown.  also, the 400HP 427 is not being shown as a tri-power engine (which it is).  As a start will someone fix these issues.  (Mekozak (talk) 05:12, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Engine Update 

message: Check the dates for second generation Corvette in the first paragraph.  Should be '63 to '67.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Longinus876 (talk • contribs) 01:00, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Just saw a Mazda MX-5 at Best Buy, and it looks to me like they tried to make a Miata sized Stingray.  The version article is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_MX-5_(ND) and while the top pic doesn't show it as well, the RF (hard top) version pictures on that article and on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_MX-5#Fourth_generation_(ND) show it much clearer.  The ND article gives credit for the rear window design to the C3 Corvette, but they apparently "borrowed" much more from Arkus-Duntov's mechanical offspring.   32.212.102.239 (talk) 06:20, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
