Just classic lines. I've got the '01 T/A as well and just do not think the new cars coming out are enough to get excited about when we have these in our stable already. Nice shot! Glad to see someone else enjoying the 'slick beak' look. We seem to be in the minority.

aye. my wheels look good froma distance but i need to put about 2-3 more coats on them i painted them myself all black. i did have the center caps still gray. there the wagon wheels form a 2001 vette. but i went ahead with the blackout look. i get alot of compliments. i wish i could find a ws6 pewter or black hood. but cant find one or that is a reasonable price.

no suspension mods actually. i actually need to get some SFC bad as i removed my x-brace for my TSP True Dual setup. which kinda sucks because i dont have any rooms to lower my car. and my wheels are so low profile it kinda has to much gap for my liking.

but living off my GI bill while going to college= no money for anything other than food,bills and college.

i wish i had been more stern. i paid 18k for the car 2 years ago. when i traded in my 2005 GP GXP
but i did go upside down about 4-5k on that. so in reality i paid about 14k sense they went ahead and paid me for the GXP as if it was new. only had 4k miles on it

it kinda makes me mad now when i see people getting TA's for like 10k range.

heh sometimes i wish i was still in the Army just because back then i always had a paycheck and could afford to mod it. but i love my car. it rides good. and looks good.

im amazed as far as i can tell my top has no air bubbles as of yet.

I agree , keep the factory hood . It has to be more aerodynamic than that tall WS6 hood & lighter . Besides it has that smooth slick look . Nice car.

Thumbs up

I wouldn't worry too much about the price. 2 years ago gas was a lot cheaper, so prices have dropped recently. Still, I just got my '00 'vert last March and paid $14.5k. I'm sure others have paid less for cars in similar condition, but I got what I wanted. Besides, it's the ONLY NBM/Taupe M6 'vert I've seen, so how do you compare prices?

I've never seen your color combo in person. There will always be other stuff cheaper, but you'd have a hard time replacing your TA with one like it at any price.

Hmm... considering this flat hood is steel and a WS6 is composite... I don't think so.

Oh, I see you've been banned away.
