Paging fstvette
Your SSC caught my eye. My brother-in-law had the same car, sold it, and regrets it now. Have you had the car since new, is it stock, what kind of mileage, any more pictures?
I see that you also sold your C5 and kept your C4, why? Just out of curiousity.
I hope you don't mind all the questions.
Thanks
Jim

Re: Paging fstvette (jimbjr)
I just bought the SSC. It is a neat car. It really gets alot of attention. I purchased it in Wisconson SP? 34K miles. I will send you some pics. It is still in the clean up process. Previous owner didn't have a clue.
I sold the C5 for various reasons.
1. I like to toy with the car and make it go faster, I took the spark plug wire off of the C5 and felt sick. I couldn't bring myself to destroy :nono: a mint C5.
2. I only drive the cars as toys. The C4 feels more like a race car and the C5 felt more like a BMW.
3. I owed my parents 35K for the C5 and the C4 was paid for except for the new 383 that was.. Is still being built. The engine builder is :sleep:
4. I had a chance to get my money back out of the car before the C5 prices started to drop.
All in all it was a great car but it didn't fill my needs as a toy. Too slow, didn't like the seats, and there are a million of them runing around now. So I would have to put a ton of $$$$$ into it to personalize it and to make it fast. At least run 11's on regular street tires.
Hope this helps.
