Wtb c5
I'm looking to pick up a C5. Probably a coupe. Must be M6, NOT BLACK! I'm looking at 02 - 04 and around $20k. Not modded other than maybe catback and CAI. Any leads would be appreciated. Preferably Southern California or maybe Arizona (Phoenix or Tucson)
This will be a second vette not a replacement vette, just to get that question out of the way
Thanks. I wish I had know I was doing this when Jason was selling his

I'm on Autotrader as we speak. I've e-mailed a few already. There's actually a couple 03 Z06s with very low mileage for under $25K!! I think I really want a coupe though. Love to remove that roof panel

Yeah, what happened was I have a custom fuel system and the external pump draws off of the drivers tank and then I have a slosh line from the passenger tank to the drivers tank and the I was taking more fuel than the slosh line could provide. After sitting there for a awhile the tanks equaled out and I added some fuel and I was good to go I did spring a power steering leak some where

I did spring a power steering leak some where Is that the typical way to desgn fuel systems for these saddleback tanks? My last FI car had a plain old fashion tank, easy to draw gas.

Well, good and bad. Sounds like the fuel system isn't setup well for the twisties though? Maybe okay for a straightline car but you certainly don't want to run that baby starving for gas Is that the typical way to desgn fuel systems for these saddleback tanks? My last FI car had a plain old fashion tank, easy to draw gas.
