I dont have a vette, but I'm 19 and have whats in my sig, yeah my Dad has helped me out here and there but I've paid him back. But I'am lucky enough to work for him in his consulting comapny. I would like a vette maybe if the right one came about.


Quick question.

Who on here daily drive there vette's. My Mum has a C6 and I can't picture me driving it everyday. I'am sure its a fun DD, I'am talking about and coming from a comfort level? I'd rather have a GTO. Is it worth getting a FRC C5?

I DD my vette. Not in the sense as you would think though. I have a work truck I commute to work and back home in everyday, just due to the fact that you can not carry tools in a C5Z. I do drive the car everyday when I need to go out after work and also on the weekends. They are very much a comfortable car and fine for daily driving. I drove the car all the way from Huston to Nashville when I bought it and did not experience any discomfort. Ask your mom to let you DD hers for a week or so before you make your decision and your choice will get a bit easier.

Your MY so......I will say black would look nice, especially with black wheels. Black and yellow are always good together. What color are your wheels? Because I personally like gunmetal on the MY vettes and the metallic gunmetal GS stripes would look awesome! If you have chrome, silver GS stripes would compliment your car. They make a lot of colors, so what are some of your favorites and what are your future appearance plans?

WHATSGRIP:

Oh man! I had those wheels on my mod list! Those look great! With that said, now I know what we are working with. I say go black!!! You can not go wrong with that IMHO. Also you can do as I did. I ordered the red and the silver in case I did not prefer my first choice. At 10 bucks a set you can afford to get a back up. Sweet ride bro...
