My reason to buy a automatic C5 was bracket racing.. You'll never be that consistent with a stick shift...
Come on Olivier, where's your sense of adventure? Isn't it more fun to beat those auto's with a stick in bracket racing?

At one race, I saw an old VW Bug running in the electronics class. His only "electronic" was a 2-stage for launching and he was running a 4 speed stick. He won the class that day. Now, that guy had something to brag about.

[To keep this on topic]
I think that car will sell for about $18k when it's all said and done.

It's kinda hard to go slammin gears when you have a stop light every 100 feet. Automatic for me.

:iagree:

That's price is insane for that car... I never expected it to get that high.. It would've been a good deal for $14k.. but $17k.. no way!!! :eek:
