:iagree: Not only does Olivier move to the US, but he moves to sunny Miami. Then he has a job where he can surf the forum all day. Has a pretty gf. And as if this weren't enough, he just added another great car to the stable :eek:

Re: Bought a C5 Vert today... :D :D (GrandSportC3)
GrandSport,
I still haven't decided as of yet... I like the C5's and have a C4 to get rid of but I may take the more practical route and get a sedan. I like the LS.
I haven't driven the LS but I did drive PAT97VETTE's (www.97vette.com) '97 car a couple years ago.
BUT, I think that once I get my wife to test drive a C5, she will probably be sold on it as she was with my '87 that we bought in '98....
Is it a 6sp or Auto??
Bob :cool:

Re: Bought a C5 Vert today... :D :D (GrandSportC3)
Well hot damn there Olivier. :cool: I maybe ordering a new tube frame soon and start to build my next vette based on a C5 donor but am looking at dropping the 572 into it. The frame will arrive at a friend's next week. It may take me a year to do it all and it will have to have an automatic as well, actually building it for my wife - the suto is for her the 572 is for me, always a tradeoff somewhere in life. :yesnod:
