New Corvette powered car

I don't know if this is old news, but here's the first offical photos of the Factory Five GTM. I've built several Factory Five cars and this one looks very cool! I just hate to tear apart my perfectly good 2001 Vert.

So what's a wrecked C5 going for now days?

Here's the complete set of pics: http://www.ffcobra.com/cgi-bin/ultim...5;t=000128;p=1

I agree ....

There's no real reason for me to go from a C5 to a C6, other than more HP. But each year there will always be more HP. GM has to be more creative to ge me to spend more of my money on their Corvettes.

The C5 was a great leap forward.
The C6, though I like, was not enough for me to make a jump.
