Whats most cost effective?
Whats most cost effective? Hey guys,
I am a newly found Corvette lover. I drove an 02 C5 A4 w/ the z51 suspension and LOVED it compared to my current toy.
So let me cut to the chase: I'm 19 years old and in a month I'm going to college for 4 years. My college is paid off thankfully due to scholarships and very generous parents.
I currently have $29,000 cash, but my goal is to save and invest it for 4 years and make it $37,000. Whats the point of a badass car when I can't drive it because I'm away at college.
In 4 years, I want a nice C5/C6 with low miles <45k. My goal is anywhere from low-high 11's and a decent streetable, yet sexy car and refined. I LOVE the look of the new C6's, but should I go with a C5 w/ heads/cam or C5 w/ STS or go with a C6? I'm looking at the automatic versions; as much as I love to drive a stick, I love to cruise at times and just relax and not have to worry about the shifting (I'd obviously throw in shorter gears and a stall to help it out too
)
Let me know what you guys think or what combos I should look at that still would give me a decent amount of money left over for a nice DD ($18,000 or so) Keep in mind that I'd be selling my Trans Am and DD Eclipse after college too.
Thanks,
Marc

Yeah, but all in all I want to spend about $30k total on the Vette including mods. LS3 C6 in 4 years might still be out of that budget, and not exactly making my 11 second goal with the fun car.. Although they still are sexy as hell
I've always wanted to try an overhauled STS kit with a new oil pump (theres supposedly sucks) Has anyone had good luck on the C5/C6's with STS?
