My first Vette and I'm so glad I got the C5. Looked at C6's and they are great-but not C5 styling and presence... That being said, if you are truly unhappy, I'll trade ya straight across for my C5 and I'll suffer with the dang C7. At least I'll know you are happy...

Toque was my inspiration as well. You really can't beat it! I'm just short on a few things, namely heads and coilovers. Most other things we're pretty on par.

Best of luck in your search!

Speaking of toque, where has he been since his 200 hour hand polishing wheels job? Maybe he finally decided to try driving the car

Buuuuuut, I really miss my C5Z's. These cars are so darn good and I am about to start the search for a toque worthy C5Z in silver. Not all things awesome can be measured.


My C5Z (gone but will be replaced)
(also for the record all of you C5 grand sport stripe people copied me... )

I bought the twin to this car a year ago in the mountains of NC. It had the chrome later factory wheels. I love it.

Love C5's, just beautiful cars!!

Haha. Thanks for the forward Matt.

Sorry guys. Been so busy with work, family, and hail damage on my house I have not had time to do much surfing here.

Appreciate all the nice comments about my car. Thanks! I have tried to keep it in A+ condition since I got it new in 04. I have greatly enjoyed making it into a better car overall through the years. Im sure the next owner one of these days will appreciate my attention to details and OCD. Haha

Hmmmm, what r the odds haha... You might have my old car. If so, sorry about that broken steering rack (did that by combining the 285's in the front with the track haha)!

What a great car...

Good to chat with you again.
When I do sell it, it would only be sold to someone that I know would treat it as I have. It deserves that I think.
