For me, it is just head over heals better than the f bods. The car feels so much more nimble. It takes turns like a boss, you can definitely feel less weight with the vette, it's just on a whole new level. I have the z06 so my trunk space sucks, but it's still a decent daily driver. It's a Chevy, I'm not afraid to drive it hard. Just drive one, you'll see what I'm talking about when I say that it's on a whole new level.

It definitely has a different, better, feel to it. I love it. Plus I bought it for damn near the same amount I sold my Ws6 for

looks awesome.

If those rear brake scoops are the fake stick on type, they look really cheap in person and I would recommend removing them. If they are actually functional and cut into the rocker panel, then thats awesome.
But from the picture I can not tell if they are real or not,they are setting really high (close to the door) so that makes me think they are fake.

Yes they are the fake ones. Not for long though. That was the least of my concerns though

very clean car. congrats. id love to pick up a white or silver c5 or c6 wouldnt even have to be a zo6. just be happy with a base model vette.

driving a vette compared to a f-boat is a whole different animal. the cars are night and day. the vette even in stock form feels so much smoother for power and the way it comes on compared to a f-body.



F-body a poor man corvette.

Hey, congratulations, man! Your car is nice and understated; I think that the next time I buy a sports car, I'll get a more subdued color like yours — now that I'm older, my appreciation for attention isn't what it once was.

Based on your images, it seems like your Corvette sits really low. Do you have any issues with ground clearance?

Again, way to go with the 'Vette; drive long and prosper!

And so far no issues with ground clearance, nothing hangs below the frame like the f body.......but it is really low and I have yet tried too conquer the infamous SPEED BUMP yet.
