Hey guys,
I'm enjoy to be part of your club. I don't have a vette for now, but I'm in the process to buy one. Since I'm a little boy, my dream affordable car was always a C5. Now, 15 years later, I can buy one and I 'm happy to share my entousiast with you.


I'm looking for a black C5Z pereferable the 2002-04, with the LS6 at 405hp. I test drove one last month, and I like the way it's ride.


I'm a 4cyl. guy and need to move on v8, I'm ready. in 2003 to 2011 I was driving a eagle Talon and modified it up to 450WHP and ran 11.3 @ 131mph. So power I can deal with it. Now I have a genesis coupe 2011 with 300WHP, and I need more power and a better sport driving feeling.


hope I'll find my vette and will share good time with you guys.
I'm from Montreal, QC in Canada.


thanks

Guys.

What do tou think about this C5Z. Its a 2001. I prefer the 02-04 with the upgrade LS6.

But for 19.9k is it worth it? Price in cdn.

Post a wanted to buy (WTB) thread in the C5 Corvettes for Sale section with a description of what you are looking for. Be as specific as you can, including mileage, color, etc.
