Man... do I want this C5!
http://www.parkplaceltd.com/pages/fi...e.aspx?id=4578
'99 FRC... that's the particular style of C5 I'd go for if I had the guts to trade in my car. Fact is, if I could get $17k for my car I'd do it in a heartbeat... doubt they'd give that to me, I think $15k or so would be the best I could hope for.
Maybe if I run my 11 on Friday, I'll go take a look at this '99 on Saturday.

I love the FRC's too, but for that kind of coin, I'd hold out for a 01 ZO6 IMO. That's not a LOT less than what Bobby got his Z for. 99-00 FRC's are regularly going for $19-22k on ebay with fair consistency. If you're serious about a C5, it really pays to shop around and not get in a hurry.
Just my .02....

TRAITOR! j/k Looks like a VERY nice Vette. Black on black....purdy!!! But like Mikey said, I'd hold out for a Z. After what you've done to your car, that one would feel pretty damn slow.....

I just can't bear to not only swallow the loss of all the money I've spent modding, but also swallow another few years of payments... no matter how pretty the car. Plus my wife is apprehensive because she KNOWS the modding would just start up all over again... and she's right, it would.
I figure if I can just hold out until this car is paid for next year, well, then I can start looking and even keep the Z28 at the same time as my "track only" car. It's just hard to hold out!

My take is this if your going to mod the hell out of it get an FRC for 22K or so. If you want alot more car out of the box and mildly mod it or go power adder then the Z06 truely is a bargain. Hope that makes sense....
