Way ahead of ya.
>>13888774
Had one before my sti, great car
Because they're too autistic to understand that memes like LOL PUSHRODS and LOL LEAF SPRINGS are just jokes.
Also, their interiors are kinda shitty.
>>13888774
They are still too new, too expensive, and too expensive to insure for /o/ kids. emphasis on that third thing.
>>13888774
>handles
Eh, stock the handling is all right but not great. With some work on the suspension though it's a damn good track day car.
>>13888774
I'd love to buy one.
c4 too mane
>>13888829
you mean the second one. they're also not exactly cheap to maintain, the engine/trans is decent but the rest of the car is built like a 1999 pontiac grand am.
and quite frankly they're not exciting cars unless you're beating on it and doing triple digit if i fuck up im going into that ditch lined with trees and rocks at 70mph kinda of speeds
The interior is cheap and disgusting.
>common
Maybe where you come from.
>>13888853
If you pick a disgusting color, anything is disgusting. Almost everything inside is wrapped in leather, I don't know what you're on about. Have you ever sat in one?
>>13888774
i will when i get a job currently unemployed
but i need to fix my drive way to accommodate the lowness, my fbody z28, z32, and 90 240sx all scrape >>13888829
>too expensive
>15k +-
>too expensive to insure
ill give you that
>>13888853
You know, I can actually deal with cheap and disgusting interiors if the car is a performer and makes me smile. I don't need everything to be ultra fancy and top-dollar because I'm not a delicate faggot.
>>13888868
Not too expensive if mommy and daddy are nice enough to keep you on their insurance. I get my insurance drop when I turn 25 in February, so for now still on parents. 100 dollars a month full coverage with $500 deductible.
>>13888893
>100 dollars a month full coverage
thats not that bad actshually
how much did you drop on it?
>>13888867
>If you pick a disgusting color, anything is disgusting. Almost everything inside is wrapped in leather, I don't know what you're on about. Have you ever sat in one?
It's still cheap and disgusting looking in other colors and almost everything isn't wrapped in leather. The only thing "leather" is the seats, steering wheel, and shifter and that "leather" is cheap quality leather. Everything else is leather textured plastic.
> I need a backseat
> Corvette stigma
> I've been conditioned to hate all things GM... by GM
Otherwise I'd be all over it.
>>13888946
>having more than one seat
hell im thinking of buying piece by piece on ebay and a full fiberglass body and making it into a hoon car lol
I did buy one
2000 fixed roof couper with 91k miles
Heads cam full bolts 430whp
Bunch of suspension shit done like pfadt shocks lowering bolts and braided brake lines endlinks ect
Built driveline had a twin disk clutch but I replaced it with a mantic ER2 and billet couplers
Needs tires now
Paid 12k for it
insurance is 640$ for six months with full coverage and 5k extra on parts
My advice is find a non z06 hard top(99-00 FRC) if you can
Cheaper insurance and all the benefits of a hardtop + all have z51 package
>weight
I am looking for something under 3k, but there ain't much. c5z is plan B.
>>13888940
I do wish more American cars used rubber interiors like European cars, instead of that hard plastic.
>>13888853
I feel like its early 2000s all over again
If there's one thing I hate about the C5, it's when you get in the car, and stare at that 90's GM radio.
>>13888880
>You know, I can actually deal with cheap and disgusting interiors if the car is a performer and makes me smile. I don't need everything to be ultra fancy and top-dollar because I'm not a delicate faggot.

you're the faggot
>>13888971

I'll just leave this here. :^)
>>13888922
$17k, three years ago. Had 88k miles. Cam, full exhaust, intake, heads, tune. Mine is still immaculate except the window weatherstrips.
>>13888940
Please name another car in that price range that has a better interior. It's not Ferrari quality but it's good for the price range. You're actually downright lying saying almost everything isn't wrapped in leather.
>>13889271
>Please name another car in that price range that has a better interior.
If you mean same price range that's still fast, the GTO and G8 both have much, much better interiors.
>>13888965
How the hell did you get it for that cheap? I know I over paid for mine a little, but shit that's dirt cheap for everything that came on it.
>>13889066
Some look good some look shit, i think in person they look a lot different than online for some reasons too. From what I understand at night the headlights can be heard in the wind and actually felt at high speeds, so pretty necessary mod if you're serious about it.
>>13889281
Geezus, now I know you're a fucking liar. C5 has leather almost everything and GTO is cheap fucking plastic on everything.
>>13888815

kek

E46 M3
>>13889328
FRC with REPLICA wheels, sir! But yeah technically base, but it's FRC so...ya know. Rare and shit. Or at least that's what I say to make myself feel better.
>>13888774
They're pretty good, but not as good as a C6. :)
>>13889334
>>13889328
>Z06
>mattering
Anon in charge of knowing nothing about cars. A Z51 with mods is just as good as a Z06.
>>13889343
I'm just fucking with you cause I'm jealous. I wanted a set of those wheels for my s10 at one point but none were in good enough shape or were too expensive. Bitchin car in all seriousness though.

Of course it isn't real leather, but mine hasn't deteriorated. Still feels like leather, and much better than the plastic shit the GTO is covered in.
>>13889315
all but the first few years are slow as shit and are GM Malaise Era horrible.
>>13889351
Well thank you sir. I try. It's at 125K miles now. Just completely rebuilt the top end of the engine last year. I've kept it immaculate too. It's getting locked away in storage in about a month. Moving to an apartment, and theres no garages there
>>13888774
Makes LS swaps too unproductive.
>>13889349
>A car with mods is waaaay better than a stock car from the factory
Frosty, put down your bong and focus

looks like how they ruined the nsx.

Mods costing less than the price difference between packages*
With the Z06 you are paying an exclusivity/rarity premium.
I prefer vaporizers unless we're talking extract.
whats the power difference of a zo6 vs z51? 10% maybe?
>>13889392
>Of course it isn't real leather, but mine hasn't deteriorated. Still feels like leather
No it doesn't. High quality leather feels much better than vinyl.
>>13889442
depends on year
c5 non z06 is 350hp~ vs 405hp of the z06
c6 is 400hp or 435hp vs 505hp for the z06
c5 has ls1
C5Z has ls6
c6 has ls2 or ls3 depending on year
c6z has ls7
Ls1 can make over 500hp with a nice set of heads and a big cam
Honestly stock vs stock there is a major difference but modded its pretty similar
>>13889445
honestly I think cloth is better for just about everything
Leather is pretty durable but thats about all it has going for it
>>13888994
interesting...
thanks for the info
>>13888833
They made it too comfy and commuter for most commuters? Stop the fucking presses!
It's almost like they made a car with a market in mind. I think you want a Z06.
>>13888815
Me too.
>>13889906
>I think you want a Z06.
I was describing the C5 Z06, actually.
>>13888994
Does yours have a lightweight flywheel?
Do you like it?
I have only driven a stock base c5. It felt like driving the batmobile; fast, smooth, but really wide.
