very nice car indeed

had good power..was comfortable to ride/drive... plenty of room for everyone..
and the engine bay.. actually has room to work on stuff!

i wouldn't buy from the dealer i was at though.. the salesman was a little bit too happy to be burning the tires at every possibility

but i have a few lenders looking around the area for a C5 for me... but this might change my mind..

i mean.. a new LS2 car.. with warranty... for just a little bit more money
hmmmmmm

what should i do

Do you need 4 seats or 2?

I am about ready to unload my TA for a new Goat too.

Nathan

i only need 1 seat

but the other 3 are good to have



i was impressed with the GTO though. much better quality than what i had in mind

The GTO interiors are truly quite a bit better than normal GM standards.

ls2 all the way. Come out to St Helens they have a GTO on the floor. No one drives that car at all unless they want to buy. Its a great dealer, he has a c5 on the floor as well. Both red. You can sit in it and look at it but unless your serious about buying you aint driving it. Good policy if you ask me. Ensures the fact your getting a car not beat on by a sales rep or punk. In fact if your serious about it let me set it up that way I get a refferal of 500 I think. I'll split the 500 with ya if you buy it.

i talked to a guy at the dealer out there.. he claimed they had one '05 GTO auto.. the other is a '04 M6

the dealership i'm heading to tomorrow is on Canyon Road... the guy claimed he would be able to get one in my options ('05 midnight blue/black leather, M6) in about a day

so we'll see what happens...

but yeah, that is a good policy to have.
The jackass salesman today leaving the lot almost immediately hit a car.. fishtailing around corners to try to impress me

Then him hitting the rev limiter in 1st wasn't all too great to hear either.
i was nice to it though.. surprisingly enough.

Hey Nathan, I've been meaning to PM you, I know where you can get a perfect condition 98 C5 with upgrades for 23,900. I mean pretty damn perfect, fully loaded, both tops, Aftermarket stereo, and again its perfect. Its also got 00 wheels and new tires. Its the neighbor guy I was telling you about...

Tall Guy

Yeah, I though about selling my H.O.S.S. too and getting an '05 Goat but I couldn't afford a new Goat anyway.

Nathan

tempting...but i'm going to see what happens tomorrow

it's exciting to think about buying a brand new car.. but i still want that vette too



might give you a call if you're free tomorrow though.. since i'll be out in your neck of the woods

I've got a little bit of work to do but should be free at different times give me a call!

Mr. Tall Guy...That Hugger Orange is is an awesome color.

maximental

do it, do it, do it.


I have no regrets about buying my '04. I'm not too sure about that "Fly-by-wire business on the '05s. LS2 would be nice, though. Half the cost of the Corvette, if you play your cards right. What a terrrible choice you have to make. Corvette or GTO. hmm....

Good luck,

Maximental

You never said if you needed the back seats. I take it you don't otherwise you would not have mentioned the C5. I like them both but the C5 is the better deal. You need to go drive one before you decide. Hell, for the price of a new GTO you can get a real clean Z06.

Just curious...you are going to ask any dealership on either car how much trunk money they are getting off the sale, right?

I'm old and while the new GTO might haul ***, it looks like ***. IMOO

If only the Z06 had room for my Rottie.

Which I actually am thinking about doing this coming August... I'll be getting the rest of the inheritance money I'm expecting, so I'll have to decide. Spend it on some more mods for the Z28, or trade the Z28 and the cash in on a Z06.

I should be able to get away with paying less than I do now for the Camaro... so it is very tempting.

The only problem is the Camaro is paid for in another year... a Z06 would add payments for 3 more years.
