Don't trade her in then. Make one a dedicated toy and the other a daily driver type car

Yup, the LS2/early LS3 cars are really good deals, there are a TON of nice ones out there on the market for decent prices

It's one thing to compare an F-Body to a C5, but the C6 really is a superior car, you have to drive one to understand, they are absolutely awesome. I'd trade my SS for one in a heartbeat, it's very tough to compare the F-Body's to them.

I love the C6s as well, and while I wouldn't trade my '98 for one (that car is going to be a life-long commitment to me), a C6 will probably eventually replace my driver '02 car.

'OP where're you from again? Out here in California I see C5's going for as high as the 20's and 30's....Jesus...

i would go c5 anyday over a f body,everything is better imo in the c5,my boss let me take his c5z for a weekend over the summer, what a badass car, his was pretty modded but man was it so much better in everyway,he took my ss on the same weekend and he said it was alot of fun to drive the vette was just way more of a drivers car,honest a c5z would never get old to me lol

C5z vs fbody is no where near the same as c5 vs fbody. Build quality of the c5 may be better period but even c5 vs c5z isnt a good comparison. Handling, braking, etc are all do much better you just can't compare.

If I felt this way, I'd do everything in my power to save for a C5 and get my F-body sold. C5/C5Zs aren't exotic high dollar cars, and are a reasonably attainable goal if you really want one.

I could see myself buying a C5 as a replacement summer driver for my '02 Z at some point, if a good deal came along on a really low mile one. But I just don't like them enough to consider one as part of my long term collection. Like I said earlier, I'd still rather have a super clean, low mile F-body because they just suit me better, but in my region it's getting hard to find really nice low mile F-bodies that are optioned the way I want. I've been passively in the market on and off for about 6 months now, and haven't found what I'm looking for yet. There are tons of nice, lightly used C5s around here though, since most people in this climate don't daily drive them.

search on here in the classifieds, ive found tons of cars for under 9k and most have upgrades already.
but between the 2 id say the vette

Around here, people see C5s all the time. My WS6 turns their heads tho.

Idk if you have already decided which to choose, but just a couple months ago I picked up a 2002 Red Trans Am, non WS6, A4, Traction, t-tops, MINT condition, with 12k miles on it.

Price: $12,300. That's a deal.

Deals are out there, just have to be patient.

homerz28

I think being auto made it alot cheaper. Cause that's normally a steal with that many miles.
Today, a guy i work with has a 2001 C5 with 147k and he wanted to trade for my WS6 with 78k. he acted like he had been looking for a clean WS6 for a long time and really preferred the WS6s to his C5.

if you are going to use it for street racing around town the WS6 is the way to go in general, not based on price, way easier to make hook-up, 40-140 down the highway and at Sonic they are both cool cars, vette is more fun to drive around in my opinion, a little more attention from the more refined women/girls if that matters...9k is a little high but not far off they are getting harder to find even here in Texas. the WS6 will get more looks at the 'meets' than the vette will without mods IMHO...
