Debt is killer especially when you calculate interest over the years, but thats only with Tens of Thousands of dollars that makes me sick to my stomach. But in this game I play, the sicknesses always win. Just be smart and patient about it. Then againg 5-6k is nothing and all depends what you can afford without stressing you out.

Vettes are nice but a fbod can rip them a new ******* with ease, and visa versa... personaly ihave a 98 camaro and i spank rich boys in their vettes all day, but i want one.. easier to work on the engine and from what i hear they handle better

Im paying off my 2002 z28 i still have a few years, but after i finish paying off the camaro and with improved credit im getting a c5 z06
Just as long as you can afford the monthly payments and still have money for bills,gas/food,hobbys,women its all good
I got the mod bug on the z28 and have about $800 on the credit card but its affordable i can pay it off, the z28 will be heads/cam nitrous and probably will be in the garage since by that time im done with the mods it will be payed off and ill have no debt
cant wait to have a camaro and a vette

When you say crap like that, you're making yourself sound like a fucktard. C5's can be had for mid teens... same price as LS1 fbodies.

stop trying to think people are so against you cuz you drive a corvette, big woop, my friend has a 1200 hp pump gas camaro and he gets dirty looks from everyone cuz they think he is super rich to be able to do that to a camaro, i drive an R1, people think that cuz i drive a motorbike i must be young and stupid, guys that ride harleys, lotta people think that cuz you ride a harley your hardcore, but it has nothing to do with that, it just so happens hardcore people sometimes like harleys.
I have nothing against corvette owners, lets make that one clear.

I'm not rich and own my own house, C5 and Blazer. I work hard for what i got and at 23 years old i'm doing good for myself. I get **** all the time about "daddy's Car" and "Rich Punk" but they don't know me OR what i make. I'm getting custom plates that say "NOTDADS" soon i think. Will stop at least half the Flames i get. I respect all cars that are fast. Even ones that aren't if they look nice. i had to wait a long time and work hard to get my C5. I still miss my '96 Z28 sometimes but i got the same **** as with the C5. Oh well. When it comes to ladies "a Vette Gets 'em Wet" lol although they are with you usually for the wrong reason's...

Forget about your age, think about other financial issues. What is your income to debt ratio? Good credit?
If you have relatively no debt and even a decent job, then I say go for it if thats your dream car.

I had enough money to afford a C5 or any f-body with low milage. I chose the WS6, looks wise a Vette just doesn't compare. Sure I don't have the oooo ahhh factor a Vette brings, but who cares....buy whatever you like best.
