A C5 with a 6 speed is very racy and track worthy. They even look sort of OK. Not any worse than a 996? I really like the way the hard top C5 Z06s look. And they are cheap and easy to drive. I like anything that will corner.

I've driven two separate 99 C5 Hardtops on the track (one at Midohio and one at Beaverun) and I can say that they are awesome track cars out of the box. Tremendous bang for the buck. If judging a person by the color of his/her skin is wrong, why is it okay to judge a person buy the type of car he chooses to have? Can't we all just get along?

And tommy, why go all the way to florida to buy a T-type turbo when you could just drive to Ohio and buy my 6500 mile Grand National? ? :)

I'm buying my dad's 86 Vette from him this spring. It's quasar blue (96 Grand Sport color) and goes like hell. I'm buying it because it's cheap entertainment and if I wreck it oh well, it's not like it's a P-car!

HT would feel bad to start ripping apart a 6500 mile GN. Then again that goes for any car. Thats why I bought my P-car for 4K. Money left over for modifications and other toys.

And to think...there are some who think Porsche was the first to have MFI for street use... Children, let me tell you of 1957, when the Chevrolet V-8 had 283 cubic inches of displacement AND delivered 283 horsepower, from a mechanically injected pushrod engine! Of course, this was before some lawyer who never has had a driver's license wrote a book titled: Unsafe at any speed"....;)

This must be post 999...so, out with the truth!
When I was seventeen (does that sound familiar to any one?) I dreamt of one day owning a Corvette. Never did. Never sat in one. I wish I could once drive an older 'Vette, big engine, you know...
I consider myself fortunate having driven 25000 km in a Porsche Carrera: whilst the "US" part of me wanted a 'Vette, I did in life attain the "Euro" dream of the Porsche.
