Holy Smokes...what a thread!

I am still eyeballing those early C5's. The values are dropping like rocks. I test drove a '99 with a Magnaflow setup and 58k miles. One owner (56yrs). 6 speed and just the basic options. $20k. It has dropped 5k in price over the last 3 months.

I found it to be a pretty nice car. I am 6'1" and I had plenty of room both head and leg. Fit and finish is not as nice as my '77 even after all these years. Shifting is sort of clunky (better than the 915 tho). Very good handling and acceleration. Good brakes etc.

As much as I love my 911's, you can build one hell of a C5 for track usage. Heck, you can build the hell of a SN95 Mustang and really tear it up. Yup they have the weight, but man that torque....
