Best Value?
I probably know what the answer would be if bought as a "collector car" but
as a regular driver, would you opt for a Grand Sport or newer 2000/2001 C5?
Talking about this Grand Sport in particular (dealer in Mass): :cool:

For the price he's asking for that GS, I would get the C5. Coming from me that means something because I love the GS!
But then again if you were spending that kind of cash, I would find a clean ZR1.

Re: Best Value? (96LT4)
GS all the way. But I'm very suprised at everyone today. Most of the time when someone post a car forsale with such low mileage everyone screems " STAY AWAY". But if it was me and I had that kind of $$$ laying around I'd buy it :yesnod:

Re: Best Value? (Rob 91Z07)
Never understood the popularity of the GS. The ZR-1 is a better choice. Or just get a 96 LT4.
