I think someone doesn't know That the corvette is a Y-body and I love that F-body, The F stands for Formula Comment. It makes me feel special.

Dog.

its not 82 on.... my car is an F body.

And i heard it is a myth that they are called an F body because it was made by Fischer. I heard it is just a letter they picked.


EDIT: holy shit this thread is old.
