Hell frozed'ed over.

Are you f***ing kidding me? SOOOO much better then the G.
Not a Z06, and hard tops are always better for sports cars ( ) but nice ride man... Damn good choice. Those things are a pretty good value these days too.

Thanks - For the money, it was a no-brainer.

The first few I looked at were hardtops. I loved the Z06 I drove, but started thinking about the harsh ride (it's pretty annoying after a while) and the higher insurance cost...

A hatch was out of the question (no trunk, and no real storage). Plus, I dig a droptop.

That is the only car that i would buy from Obama Motor Co. Is your desire for an LS1 powered 240sx gone?

[Xdisaster240sX]

You could have got a Skyline. I guess Corvettes are cool...if thats what your into I mean.

Around here if you have a Corvette your either black or old...and Gregs not black so that means...

[ProudNissanFreak]

Nice! It's used I assume? Looks well maintained.

[Xdisaster240sX]

That what she said.

C5 hasn't been available new for 6 years.

Oh. Didn't know that, haha. Thanks

I'm not surprised. When I was in PHX all I ever saw was Corvettes, EVERYWHERE! You've joined the masses I like the C5s best though, cause pop-up headlights rock.

[tigersharkdude]

p.s. A *real* car enthusiast would know there were no purple C5's.

Im calling you out Greg. Search for "pace car purple"

[tigersharkdude]

I like the C5s best though, cause pop-up headlights rock.

you do know that C4's, C3's, and C2's had pop up's as well

[skydragoness]

Little bird told me about this purchase before this thread was made.

Nice Vette Greg

[krash]

CONVERTIBLE FOR THE WIN!!
POP-UPS FOR THE WIN!!!!

I honestly didn't think much of corvettes until I actually sat in one and drove it. They're pretty sweet cars. That was a nice buy there man!

[hbpignosePA]

eh its pretty cool

still way more cars id rather buy

You also know that it all started in the 60's from 1962-2010.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

SHUttup...I'm colorblind.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Sorry not a big fan of corvette's though the C6's are actually kinda nice. I'm surprised you didn't go for a 350Z roadster, drop a supercharger and nismo suspension on it with some aggressive wheels and tires and you'd have a kick a** car. I would think the 350Z would save you money in the end with insurance and parts as well. Personally I don't like convertibles but hey to each their own.

[Mr1der]

How could you park something so eye-bleedingly atrocious next to that purple beast?

Dude.

Bex is gonna you for talking s*** about her Frontier.

p.s. A *real* car enthusiast would know there were no purple C5's. It's sapphire blue, y0.

false.

they made a purple for a few years.

I got a tour of the Vette factory the year they made them....I can't remember the damn name of the color now.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-gene ... urple.html

the color I saw was the Purple Pearl Metallic.



They introduced that with Aztec Gold

[ADDirishboy]

Soooo, when you gonna let your awesome 21 year old son drive?

[sx moneypit]

Just noticed its a 6 speed.I installed a Vortech supercharger setup and a Borla exhaust on a customer's C5 ragtop a few years ago, it was stupid fast.

[Jesda]

Aztec Gold... such a 90s color.

[admin]

In honor of the purchase, Greg will be growing a mullet.

F-body owners have mullets. Corvette owners wish they had enough hair to have mullets.

NATURAL MALE ENHANCEMENT

[Steady_One_S13]

Dang Hitman! You're rich, but I'm not jealous. Nice car tho.

It's kind of true though..

[Dattebayo]

I have driven THE CAR once.

Well at least you drove the point home.

Too bad it can't be whipped at Carlisle.

[timay]

pretty sweet car, i'm feelin' it.

[TroubleBound]

): It's cold down here, sell the vette for something Infiniti/Nissan!

I mean, i would take a Corvette anyday, one of the funnest cars i've ever driven. But you're Greg Childs man, you could have any car in the world! You could find a way to get away with an R34.
But it is a nice car.
I hope the S13 occasionally enjoys your company..

[AZhitman]

I'm surprised you didn't go for a 350Z roadster, drop a supercharger and nismo suspension on it with some aggressive wheels and tires and you'd have a kick a** car.

I had a 375whp supercharged G35 coupe, with all of the above. I'm no stranger to kick-a** cars, but there's not a 350Z that can touch this thing without $10K in mods. I wanted N/A power, better mileage, and torque.

I would think the 350Z would save you money in the end with insurance and parts as well.

Nope. Insurance on this is $650 a year. And parts for a Z are WAY more expensive.

BTW, first tank of gas averaged 25 mpg. 50mph in 6th gear = 1k rpm.

Dang Hitman! You're rich, but I'm not jealous.

FAR from it. I spent less on this than the Cube.

I don't smoke, drink, go out, buy designer clothes, support a babymomma, or buy stuff on credit.

I'm rich in friends.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Holy crap Greg!!!!! A Vette is the last thing I thought you guys would get.

Is this going to be kept stock-ish or is the bug gonna take over like on all the rest of the cars? lol.
