Smart plan, but we'll hate to see go.

I won't be. :C5 is boring, since half of us here have had one. I am sure he'll get something cool to replace it. the is strong around here.

No one has had one as modded as D'Plac's with headz, gearz, One Cam to Rule Them All, etc.

Honestly, the modz are what's saving it. I love the way the car is now that it's sorted with the modz. The modz also take away a significant portion of value (I knew this), so the incentive to off it is really low. Much below $15k just isn't worth it to me, and judging by recent sales, I'd be lucky to get that even.

15-17k seems like it would be easy enough to get.

I think the issue with the C5, everyone that wants ones wants a deal, because they are "cheap" and plenty around 10k, but they are all "worse" with 100k miles etc. But that's just the market.... closer to 20k is C6 territory.

Corvette prices are still really strong. I sold my 2002 with 59k miles for $17k, about 5 years ago. Anything I have owned after depreciated far faster.

Yep. It's why the stays. It's pretty damn perfectly sorted for what I want it to do.

U just got it... Did you even put 1k miles on it?

Exactly. Nice C5's are the worst. Nobody wants to pay the premium for them. Oh well.

[max225]

Put 3500 miles on it between March and November. Hasn't moved since November 8th.

man time flies!... You almost had it for a year!

[CaleDeRoo]

Dibs on parts tho

I put 2000 miles on the in the 1.5 months I drove it.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

is my ideal Plastic Fantastic.

I just don't have a need for that much speed.

[max225]

I won't deny it.

I've never had a chance to be behind the wheel of a car that idiotically quick. 's tub o' brubs is the closest I've gotten. Hilarious to drive.

But also, it's the straight line speed I have no need for, especially in this commie state.

I thought you drove M3s at the stealershit ? right around the same WHP # and about similar weight.

[max225]

Once. I didn't play around with company metal often.

Also, the Tub o'Brubs is a lot more raw than a modern M3.

I dunno my m3 is a bit too "raw" for my likes. It is sprung far firmer than a C5, and it rides on dubs. Also LOUD AF, not V8 cam loud but still loud.

The one I drove had the base 18s. That’s how I’d spec mine.

Drive a comp package one ... handling is just wild... it is a compromise.

Fastest car I was ever in was an AC Cobra. 465 RWHP in a car that weighed like 2300 lbs. That was stupid fast. My friend that owned it only ever flat footed it once on a highway from a 40 roll and it still got squirrely on him. Ultimately nowhere to use that much power around here, so he sold it for the Ferrari 308 GTB. Was a much better choice as he can flat foot that almost anywhere and rip through the gears.

But I do think a hellcat would be fun as f to own...

It all depends on where you live. Here, the only fun I get is full on freeway onramps. I want something really fast in a straight line, which the certainly is. I absolutely love flat footing and bang shifting through 3rd, which can be a...thrilling experience (passengers have described it as "terrifying").

My ideal is something heavy and supercharged with a stick. CTS-V, Hellcat Challenger, etc. I'd so love a purple wide body Challenger Hellcat stick. Would be outstanding here.

It's been a while since we've had a good semantics debate to people.

Are you saying the Challenger Hellcat isn't a sports car?

I mean, I wouldn't quantify it as one. It's too big, too heavy.

Sports cars are light, simple, small, and good dance partners. Not necessarily fast in a straight line, but focused more on handling before power.

The Challenger Hellcat is focused almost solely on power before handling. Is it awesome? Yes. Is it a sports car? No.

That all being said, I'd love a F8 Green or Plum Crazy Hellcat Widebody in the garage for the

Yes I am; its a muscle car. Also , but a sports car its not.

Is bodybuilding not a sport? Or powerlifting ? Should it only be marathon running?!

There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.
