MrH42 on here said he might be willing to meet us for the dragon etc in the spring if we end up going. He has an AP1 we could drive.
Man... I'd love to dirve an S2K on TOTD... I've only driven them around Charlotte, never had the pleasure of really going :plaid:

Yeah, whomever picked that color wasn't concerned about resale. I wouldn't buy that for more than $15K since a good paint job would be another $15k or more.

Congratulations.

I was not aware you had reassignment surgery. I think this car is for you.

Dafurk, had no idea these could be had for mid 20s.
Had a look at C5 Z06s the other day but why bother when the C6 is just a few grand more?

Dang it, may fall for a Brubette next year.

Well, a C5Z with that high of mileage could be had sub $15K. My C5 is pretty nice and it could be had for $10-11K. So there's still a huge delta, but either one is an epic value, C6Z is far more car and a crazy bargain at that price. I wouldn't be afraid of a higher mileage Corvette unless you want a C&C cream puff. If I bought one, I'd o for something like the above with 100k miles and the valve train job done. You will scrape the front anyway, so no point in getting one that isn't pre scraped.

A banged up C6Z with the valves done would be a fantastic buy, IMO.

I'm :gaydance: and won't consider a C6Z because the top doesn't come off.

This kept me out of a C6Z and in a GS. I only got the C7Z because they made the roof removable.

I don't take the targa off much, but it is a nice perk for sure.

In some ways I actually prefer the C6GS to the Z, but it's more expensive in many cases, which gives me pause. I'm not about paying mid-high 30s for a C6 when I could go buy a brand new C7 for low 40s.

The C7 is a great car if it checks all the boxes for you, especially if you can get one for a great deal with the C8 coming.

Oh wow, I thought I was alone.

I had the top off my C5 constantly...I went months long with it off (parked in the garage).

TBH, I think the perfect used vette is a C6GS :manuel: LS3 is epic. Dry sump. Wide body look. Top comes off. Couldn't ask for anything more...they're just still a tad on the pricey side being a 2010+ only thing.
