First the FRC design (I had an LT-4), but I wasn't selling the LT-4 for the same performance. Then GM added HP to the FRC to create the Z06 . . . now we're talking.

Coulda had the same power in a Camaro or Firebird. I never, even for a second, considered buying one.
But I wanted a C5 since the first time I ever saw one.

power is nice, but most cars can become powerhouses with modification.
And...I'm actually taller than my vette. OK, OK, not by much

The looks and the power for the PRICE. Originally looked at some Porches - the boxer was one of them. Drove the vette and decided that it would be the car for me. Have a DD so this is my toy. And believe it or not, the corvette tax isn't as much as the Porche tax.
