So long C5 section... sniff sniff
Well I sold the FRC last week. The wife and I decided it is time to start a family and there isn't any room in the vette for two adults and a baby seat. I will still lurk around the forums as I believe this is one of the most knowledgeable forums on the net. I have had fun in my vettes and will get another one down the road. I bought the new baby hauler Friday and I am loving to so far. I took some clean pics of the vette's replacement today. Let me know what you think. See you guys around.

Good choice. I may step into one of those if I decide to replacement my Impala SS. Good luck you still have a Corvette motor at least

At least you got a V, those are almost Vettes...
My woman said I had to get the baby hauler if that time comes, she said she would NOT sell her Corvette...
I told her, that's fine, it'll have to be a Cayanne, M, or a V.

That look more like a babe hauler than a baby hauler.
Fine choice.
If that fits your wife's definition of a baby hauler, you should be a very thankful guy.

Beautiful CTS-V you found there. It should serve you well until you can get back into a Vette.

Nice but it's not a vette.
Good luck, so long. You will probably be like me many
years ago---I sold my vette a 59, the stupedist thing
I have ever done. I am still a vette owner but sometimes
I still wish I owned that ol' 59.
I hope that you won't have the same regrets as the years
go by.

How does the power or the V's ls6 compare to your FRC ls1??? I just picked up a 1999 FRC with 17,xxx miles on it and I absolutely love it.

I guess if you have to give up a vette,,that's the way to do it!! Well at least you can console yourself by having fun MAKING the babies

Thanks for the compliments and well wishes guys. the V is definitely slower as it is pulling around an extra 700 lbs. But LS2 does a pretty good job of getting the car moving. I can't wait to get it on the autox coarse.
