Looked like that third time the RX7 didn't get to brake boost.

Surprise the Cobra didn't put up a better fight against the RX7.

Not surprised at the Corvette.

Vette rolled out. If he would a started in the right gear it woulda been even worse.

Good runs.

The want for a C5 is growing stronger by the minute.

You can hear the C5 as the only one downshifting to get into the right gear...

Could be traction issues. I routinely have to start in a gear too high, so I don't spin. It's not always slicks and VHT on the freeway, you know?

They are definitely getting cheap. I personally just don't like the thought of immediately wanting to build the 4l60e and rear diff in those as well. Similar issues as with the fbody, although a much better sports car.

Not sure I have room for another car here lol. I really wouldn't mind a coupe auto though.

I looked a few days ago, and I found a decent amount for $10k and less. I'd go auto as well, and do a few upgrades to it.

Yep, many coupe autos for around $10k now.

Like I said though, would just suck to have to upgrade everything else like you do on an F-body. Then again, the c5 is also an all around better vehicle than an Fbody.
