I'm getting tired of the TA, and was thinking about selling it for a 00-02 vette. I'm sure theres alot of people who have done this, so I was just curious if the trade is worth it.

I did the same thing about 14 months ago...it was definetely a no-brainer.

With that said, there is still a part of me that misses my TA

im' running at about 20 months and feel the exact same... I love my vette but i miss my agressive front end of my T/A.

Im going through the same decision, is an regular (non Z06) vette really any better thatn a camaro or firebird?

I have reached that point as well and the TA turns 10 years old this month. I have driven a friends 03 Vette and it was far nicer and more refined than my car. The IRS does take a little getting use to.

Yes its 100% better car but not that much faster. I read one of your other posts and it sounds like youre looking for more of a 1/4 mile car. If I'm right stick with the F-Body. If youd be happy with CAI, Full exhaust, and a tune go with the Vette.

BTW...make it home safe from Iraq. I just got back a few months ago myself.

ZMONSTER!

Congrats brother! Glad to hear you made it out of the sand box!
And NO! thats what i hate about the camaro is that it will never be really good at anything but drag, without alot of money I dont have. I want a car that will tear up curves.

thanks for the replies guys, well I think I'm gonna sell the TA and my bike to get a vette. I'm looking to get 00-02 C5 with around 60000 miles. It's nice because i just bought a new cam and fast intake(uninstalled) for the TA and I won't have to worry about selling them.

Check out the for sale section at forums.corvetteforum.com Tons and tons of Corvettes for sale there and most are owned by older people and are very well taken care of.

Good luck on your search

I have had my Z06 for2 mos now. I finally got it on the track at VIR last week. I haven't sold my TA yet so I took them both. TA has basically the same Strano set up as yours. Tracked them both. Yeah, the Z is fast, quicker, more balanced and more refined, but, the TA is so much fun. So predictable, easy to catch when you overdrive it. I drove my Z like a woman because I was not used to it, plus it has over 500rwhp. I slung the TA all over the track and had a blast. I will probably keep the Z because it is a nicer car but you will miss the TA. I have been spoiled for the past 2 mos having both, but the TA has got to go.

I like red by the way. Good luck in your choice. You cannot go wrong either way.

I just sold my '02 WS6 (70k on the clock) about a month ago and picked up an '00 C5 (50k on the clock) a couple of weeks back. I had to drop a little extra cash on the 'vette, but nothing outrageuos. I've been happy with the decision. Haven't had the new car on the track, but if feels pretty similiar in straight-line acceleration. It handles alot better though. The only thing I miss is the ability to stick two poor saps in the back on occasion.

I just traded my 02 Z in for a 04 Z06. And it was well worth it. The Vet is a much better car and more fun to drive.

with you on that one.

The vette tax gets pretty crazy sometimes, which is a sting to the pocket book.

I also just jumped the bandwagon and sold my 02 Z28 and bought a 00 FRC this week.

SC Z06 =

seems to be a common theme. i traded my WS6 for a Z06. nice trade but i miss the aggressive look of the TA.
