My 2.5" TD's have better ground clearance than my ORY did. The only low point is the turndowns which are pretty low but you could help that angling them a little up more or else by not having so much of a turndown (if that makes any sense).

Well I must have gotten the **** end of the stick then 5'10 155 but the good looking part carried over

But seriously...yes my plan is to get a C5 Z06 or C6 Z51 Vette as the next car. Depends what happens with the economy being like this I may just jump into grad school and then my plans would have to get backed up a little while but if not then hopefully 2-3 years. I want the C6 Z06 more than those two but highly highly doubt I will be able to afford that and no I haven't driven one and glad because then I would hate my car! lol. I'm trying to get my dad into a C5 Z which would mean it would be a cheap hand-me-down after he's done with it

Mom and dad must have really disliked you as a kid

Far as the Vette...I rec you do not drive one. It pulled and pulled and then pulled some more! After I got back in my car it felt so slow In a few years the C6 will have dropped in price just like the C5 did. Even a C5 with mods would be awesome.

Hahahaha yup

Yea I just want a Vette basically, love the looks, the weight, handling, braking, I need to stop there before I start hating my car lol. Ideally I would want just a roller but I never see them. That 454 LSX block would find a nice home.

Prob never will see them too. So the handling part, dang man they are a breed unlike any other. I work about 10 blocks from two major auto repair shops that specializes in fixing exotic cars such as, Lambo, Ferrari etc..and I have seen numerious C6 Z06 over there piled waiting to be fixed. I stopped in and talked with the owner and he was saying that these rich guys that have never driven any form of muscle were basicly going out and paying cash for them and leaving thinking they were Mario. Sad sad sad...hate to see them cars all banged up. Sad sight
