"ignorant" I sell cars... and I'm selling 2 of mine. You can get a C5 for 12-15k these days. Sure a low mielage '04 is worth more, but the fact remains that whether I have a '04 Z16 or a '97 C5, they're both the same car to the average guy. There's nothing super special about a C5 Corvette (or even a c6) for that matter anymore. And to talk down to someone because they are trying to relate to you is completely out of line.

Shows how much you know about cars... not an LT1 and certainly not stock.
Featured in GM High Tech Performance and Camaro Performers magazines.

If the Pubilx guy were a white guy, would you have written "Publix guy who's obviously of european decent". Why even make that reference it has no bearing on the story.

Apparently GM thought the Camaro was good enough to use the same engine as your Corvette. So much for the exclusivity...
