I would look through the vehicle classifieds on here and Corvette Forum if I were you and see what you might find.

Otherwise, I'll let others post.

Im in the oil fields in CO, I just purchased my 2008 C6 about 6 months ago and love it, any reason you want a C5 over a C6?.

Good luck with your search.

I would like a c6z and would love the ls7 I would be able to afford one but man there a lil out of my price range I found a few nice 06 and 07 GS cars that were reasonably priced but had few miles. But really c5 is my favorite body style I love a nice blue or silver c5z lowered on some f14's. Plus I broke my back and really wantin a heads cam car already done so I figure if I go c5 ill be able to afford a nice h/c car with decent miles and be able to buy wheels and still be in my price range. There are many c5 vs c6 threads ive seen but im afraid if I go c6z ill find a certain one fall in love and end up spending 45 grand. Hoping to get nice c5 and maybe procharge in the future and be just as happy as c6 owners and hopefully not get my *** drug by every c6 I come by. I guess all c6 owners would never go back to c5 after the c6 experiance?

I personally like the C5 better.

I had my buddies 2007 Ron Fellows Z06 (car #167) for a week and a half. I liked it. Don't get me wrong. But for the body and styling, and just feeling the raw sportiness of it, to me the C5 wins handily.

That particular Ron Fellows car is for sale too, lol.

What is your budget ? I have a C5Z that is now receiving a LSX454 in Ft Lauderdale. 9 sec all motor. A LOT of upgrades with only 55k miles. Black with black and leather interior.
I'm bring the Z up to another track rental in Maryland in December if its ready. This Z is a street car and well known on CF

lol at comparing a vette to a truck.

I drive a Z71 Tahoe daily, and my FRC sits in the dirt, feel every pump,..completely different animals lol. YES, i'd rather drive a truck on a longer trip. But, honestly, I would LOVE to find another C5,..or maybe a C6 to daily drive.

I just can't figure out why they haven't sold this one yet....such a nice car
with Corsa exhaust already and they have come down 4 grand already. Call
and ask for Clyde....I bet 21 would get it
