Don't do it. Wait to get a C5 if its a Vette that you really want.

I have to agree with the general consensus. If you are set on trading your T/A for a vette, trade it for a C5.

The C4 was fast... 12 years ago. I'd still cruise one since they're getting cheap, but I'd never trade an LS1 T/A for one. NEVER.

I have nothing whatsoever against Corvettes but that kind of trade does not sound smart at all.

Don't trade... sell, then get the best deal you can get on a C5... or give it to me, let me kick you in the nuts, and knock some of your teeth out - you'd be way ahead of the move you're about to do.
