Depends. Is she stuck up, knows she's beautiful, and extremely high maintenance too??

Headers by far are the worst for the Vette. $1895 for LG Pro's w/cats, $1490 for Vette Doctor/American Racing w/cats, $1000 for LG Street w/no cats, ect. Crazy.

After driving my C5 more I have a list.

I miss the cup holders, center console, beating the tar out of ricers (my favorite was whomping a STi while I was driving with a donut on my right rear), nothing pulls up to my Corvette, the AC is crap compared to the F-Body, and the absolute terror I feel in doing mods to it.

I miss the old cable to engage/disengage the clutch. F'ing hydraulics so girls can drive these cars, it's ridiculous. Bleeding the system, pedal stuck to the floor and slaves leaking on the disc itself makes me miss my Cobra sometimes. You can buy a $200 Motorsport HD Clutch and leave at 5,000 rpm all day with 460rwhp.
I love the old C5 anyway.

That's because you have a Z06!!!

It's like divorcing your high-school f$ck buddy and marrying a hot she-lawyer.
