Default My two Red Devils.....

Here's some pics of my vette and it's new cousin, my '04 GTO I just picked up a couple of weeks ago for a daily driver. I think they look pretty darn good together......

The two red devils together......

You're right....it does. But it doesn't feel big at all. It really says more about how small and low the C5 sits in comparison to "regular" cars.

You should have seen how big it looked when I tried putting the C5 car cover on it for one night.....only came about 1/2 way down the sides....

Not very good.....

It's not bad....but it's 600 pounds more than a vette.

Obviously with an LS1 (or LS2 in the new ones) the base platform is there to make the thing as fast as you want.....but it needs mods to keep up with even a stock vette.

We have that combination in QuickSilver ('vette) and Cosmos Purple (GTO). Makes a nice pair of rides!

I agree.....I do like the dual setup in back (although the '04 has true dual...they both just exit together) and the new hood on the '05s better than what's on the '04s. But.....I saved over $10K by going with an '04 instead of an '05.....a deal I just couldn't pass up.
