3 years ago I bought an 35th Anni. Kathy was afraid to drive it over the speed limit or even pass a semi on a two-lane. Now, buckle your seatbelt, hold on and shut up.
If I had the room for another Vette she would have her own. Her 2.4 DOHC 4-door Cavalier grocery-getter is almost as fast as the 35th.

According to your profile you have a 95. Sooooo a newer C4 would be a 96. Get an LT4.

That is not a problem. I am having a hell of a time convincing the wife to drive a Vette instead of the Carrera she wants. I am a newer one for me in a couple years and then buying her either a Boxter S or a Carrera. At least that is the plan. Unless I convince her otherwise before then,

I bought a C5, and my wife says where's the good car if I switch cars and leave it at the hangar and drive the '86.

Well, she's never driven the C5..............
