Found this black 2000 C5 FRC in Detroit and after 3 months of waiting it arrived here in Stockholm, Sweden.
It was a bit hard to get it into my garage.

Welcome to the forum! I'd like to know your thoughts after you've had a chance to drive the Vette for a little while. How does it compare to the Viper?

First of all, my Viper is a beast with 500 bhp, big sidepipes, Eibach-springs and big wheels.
The Vette is so much easier to live with, you got all this info about tirepressure, oil, milage and stuff. Sure the gearbox is the same as in the Viper but you sit straight with your legs and the clutch is so much easier to work. And in the dark, teh black car looks so good.
Drivng the cars back-to-back, I´m suprised ow ggod the acceleration in the Vette feels. But, with my brother in the Vette and me in the Viper, the Vette loses ground between the shifts 1-2-3. I get that little extra torque in the Viper.
But I´m gonna change to coil-overs ASAP!!
