Thanks again for all the info fellas. The problem started last fall when I got to drive a new Z06. Absolutely thrilling. A must have. I love my 71, and it's fun to drive and work on, but no comparison to the new Z. Unfortunately, the new Z is out of my league, price wise. I think I can swing $25, but didn't know if there was much diff between the years.
I should have jumped on that 02.....lesson learned. I'll keep y'all posted and hope to have something by the summer.

CC Rider - that's a great looking Vette.

Default Thanks!

raider21: I just picked up my 2004 Coupe this past August. It only had 11,000 miles on it when I got it! I have put a Blackwing induction on it, and painted the calipers Z06 red; saved a ton of money as opposed to buying the Z06 calipers. The money saved will go towards a Corsa Pace car exhaust and X-pipe. Thanks again!

keep your 71 and still get a C5, one vette just isnt enough.

as for the garage issues, tell the wifey "they dont write songs about volvo's" and put them both in the garage. Of course you will probably be kicked out of the house if you do that but heck you can sleep in the garage with your 2 vettes right?
