I hear you brother, I had the same experience with my 99 FRC. I currently own a 2014 EVO as my DD so, of course the vette doesn't feel as tight as that but, the torque and feel of RWD is just awesome. I didn't break any laws, but I did get on it pretty hard with traction control off onto the highway and was like .
I also agree with wanting a Vette, I'm 30 and have wanted a C5 since 1998. I actually rather have my C5 then a C6 or C7 due to that feeling of desire when I was younger and saw my first C5. I also don't have any regrets not spending the extra cash on a ZO6 because my plans for the car aren't really in the direction of a ZO6. I plan on doing a LS6 intake, and most likely FI via supercharging since I've yet to own a supercharged car in my life. With the C5 FRC, I get the style and the extra budget room to make my FI route possible.
2002...One owner All Stock...Everything Works on Car...one of the Managers at the Dealership Mother owned the car....She Trades only for another Yellow Vette...traded this one in for a 2015 Yellow Convertible ...car has only 47,000 miles on it...
Welcome to the madness. I like you wanted a corvette all my life. Bought my first one at 47 (C4 vert auto) and then followed up with a 00 vert 6 speed, same color as yours and now I have a 04 Z06. Always wanted the Z06 and it's a beast. I do miss the 00 vert, because top down is a blast but I do love the Z06.
Thanks Guys....Yea So Far loving The vert....Wife Loves The car...But not happy with me trying to upgrade things...Think after 28 years she would be use to it after doing it on the Harley's....LOL Here are the last 2 Bikes I had before the vette...
