C5 just turned over 77777
New(used OEM ) wheels lookw much better than wagon wheels. My next search is new Targa Top. My old targa top westherstrips on right & left sides are shot. New OEM seals are ridiculously expensive. Better to get Targa Top with good weatherstrips. I located one for $320.00 shipped. Is this good Price? I have to paint it too because my old Targa Top has stress cracks on top rt side.

Yes, as long as the targa is in good shape (weatherstripping, latches, no damage) that is a good price. Shipping can be risky though.

6th on a MN6 is 44mph/1000. Or about 950 rpm at the speed shown. Much higher geared than an auto.

Yeah I’m sure he was in 6th gear while going 44mph. 
Which is my point. Nobody with a 6speed burbles along at that rpm unless they enjoy being just above idle with zero chance of meaningful acceleration within 45 seconds of having the pedal planted to the floor.
So you really think he’s got a 6speed?
