Not me, but I drove up from the Cape into the Dover area last Saturday in a LeMans Blue 68 427 coupe. My friend and I went cruising in the area. He had his 67 red coupe. I grew up in Needham and like to cruise around the old area once in a while. We ended up in the Dover/ Sherborn area and Farm Pond. Nice country!!

this is just a guess, i figure at least 10,000 c5's alone in the NE; that would be <2.5% of production, so it's probably on the low side; this is starting to sound like a StephenT post

we'll let him figure out the standard deviation

Not enough information, there are a lot of registered users on here that don't even own a Vette, or owned one and sold it. Then do you want to inclued all generations of Vettes or just C5.

You would need DMV records to find current registered Vette owners and then match them with the CF users. There are a few Vettes out there that may not be driven or registered. Then you have the Canuks and other countries.

This was posted the other day in C5 gen about the C5 production numbers

1997 - 2004 Total Production
Year Production
1997 9752
1998 31084
1999 33270
2000 33682
2001 35627
2002 35767
2003 35469
2004 34064
C5 Total: 248715

10,000 C5 would be 4% of production.

Yeah, well, worth a try. The car was lowered and had that sequential blinker thing for the 3rd brakelight (I forget the name of product :o ) so I thought those being CF kinds of things there might be a chance...

Not a bad guess - I would say that significantly modded C5s are certainly more likely to be on the forum...
