SW, if I could afford to buy the Z07 (highly unlikely, but havn't seen a price yet) I WOULD NEVER put it in a museum. Cars are made to be driven. Hope this moves me up your list :D

Thanks guys, I did loose sleep over it last night. One of my reasons for selling it is because I want to go faster, alot faster, and don't want to cut it up. Jason has been working on a complete new engine project for me and I want to put it into a car that we can "modify". The Museum is a great idea also, but this car is belongs on the track. That's why I enjoy my white C5, track miles. As far as the Ferrari, it's going to be a six speed only, Silver/blk or Red/blk. I have had other Ferraris before and none of them, except for my '71 Daytona, really excited me. I just think the 360 is sexy looking. I might not like it, but I want to try one for a while.

Thanks for all your input.

SW

SW,

Hate to see you part with the Z07 but your car put the Z07 on the map, there is gonna be one lucky buyer out there to get their hands on that car! :cheers:

You'll have to let us know when the Modena arrives, what color are you getting? F1 shifter? Any mods planned yet? Can I beg for a ride when it comes in?? :D :D Good luck with the Ferrari, excellent choice! :cheers:

<EDIT> I see you beat me to the answers, looks like a sweet ride is coming your way!

SW,

I have an idea, I don't know if it would work or not, but it would be cool to see if it might fly. How about doing a raffle for your car? Sell tickets for say $100 and sell as many as needed to get the money that you want for the car. I personally would spend $100 for the chance to get that gorgeous machine. MTI could do the raffle or something.

Would anyone besides me do this? Post here if you would.

That's kind of illegal in Texas. It's unlicensed gambling.

This one's for you. F360 drift video. Hit link then click the "start" link.

Look forward to your next project!

There is a silver 360 6 speed at the Ferrari dealer in Walnut Creek, CA. It has been there for months. You may want to check into it as they may want to move it. Not sure about interior color.

Daveydc5, thats a great video!!

I don't think the raffle will work unless the money goes to a charity.

Someone just needs to buy it!

Well, SW, I can understand your wanting to "trade up."

I especially can understand not wanting to cut up your car, the auto vs MN6 choice. I have that same dilemma although not on as radical or fast as car as yours which is why I put mine up for sale. SOMEone could do that, that just wouldn't be the car I wanted to build anymore.

Good luck with what's next! I don't fit in the Ferrari's so probably won't be askin for a ride. :D I do look forward to seeing it though.

Doug

PS: Rick I'm with you....at least let's keep it in Texas!

dont sell it :cry :cry

Agreed! :( How many opportunities like that car will you get? First 6 speed C5 in the 9's? That is a great accomplishment. Keep it to show your grandkids one day. Sell ANYTHING else if you have too, or at least sell it to the Corvette museum. That car is a legend. The idol of many on this forum, present company included. I wish I had the money to buy it and store it!

Heck, I wish I had the extra $ to buy it so I could drive the **** out of it. Fruck store it for what, old age, death? Drive it hard like SW did, and live a little. This life is certainlyh too short.

SW,

Tough decision I am sure, but I understand where you're coming from. Go have fun.

Course, I have you to blame for all the work being done on my car :)

Maybe I'll be the next in the nines :):)

With an automatic.
