why do you need two cars?! screw that. take off all the best parts of both cars that you could use on a vette, sell both of them right here on the board, and then buy a z06 02-04 here or corvetteforum.com or z06vette.com

there ya go!

I'm 21. My first car a few years ago was a 99 NBM SS, I loved that car it... it ran perfect. I've had my vette for about a year and sold the Camaro about 6 months ago. I miss the Camaro, but the vette is just a lot better... I'm happy with the fact that I can do the spark plugs in so little time and not spend an afternoon cursing, and destroying my hands.

One thing, the F-body "feels" like it's going fast. With the vette you look down at the speedo and say "oh **** I'm going this fast?"
