I have had 3 fbodys...2 of which were/are highly modified. Also had a 02 Z06 w/ bolt ons and a clutch. I miss my z06 a lot! Its a much better car all around compared to the fbody. I went back to the fbody for money reasons. I would give up my 402 Camaro for a modded vette in a heart beat!

I went from a 1999 WS6 to a 2002 C5, both modified with basic boltons, appearence, and sound systems, and now I have an 01 WS6 along with the C5. The t/a being the project car

Following kept stock:
1979 Z28
1981 Z28
1986 Iroc
1992 Ralley sport
1998 TA LS1 Heads/cam/headers approx 390 rwhp
2001 TA LS1 heads/cam/headers/all other bolt ons/cage/moser 431 rwhp
2007 C6 Vette LS2 stock but I just got it
Loved the TA and Camaros for the street and 1/4 mile track but the C6 Vette is a great daily driver (31mpg highway) LS2 400hp and handles way better than any fbody I had.
Planning on making it a top speed road course car.

I traded a built TA for a bone stock, high mile Base C5.
Absolutely, no regrets.
Now Im considering stepping up to a C6 or C5z
I actually wrote a comparo a few yrs ago about this. Search for it.
Alot of folks chimmed in.

If you get the vette just do bolt ons and dont try to drag race it. Ive broke more drivetrain parts trying to than I like to remember. They drive better and handle better than f-bodies. For a daily driver I would pick the vette any day, but if you want to drag race then get f-body all the way or youll be paying for it later.
