Isnt that a c4 that you posted?..

Anyhow, I would not waste your money. If your going to buy a vette, it may as well be the z06..

IMO, all others fail... Unless of course you are looking at the classic vettes.

That's a C5, a C4 is a total heap, not even worth turning your head to look when one drives by.

Doba- It's not just the projector headlights, the C5 just looks so damn outdated now.

The black one, slam it, put nice wheels on it, tint it, and remove the front emblem. Then you have a car I'd actually consider driving.

Emblem shaved in MS Paint to show how much of a difference it makes.

Does a Z06 come in targa?? not from what Ive seen or they are rare..

man comparing that C6 to that C5.. hmm such settle differences, I dont know how you can say its out dated, if you sohw those pics to say any chick, they would say its the exact same car.

that V8 sounds sick, so easy to make power with those things, just let it breathe easy and damn it sounds sick

^Yea, but since when do women's opinions matter?
The cars look pretty drastically different to me. Either way, it's not like anyone will make fun of you if you get a C5, I already said I respect them, I just don't like them.

yeah NO im not concerned with what people really think, you get what you can afford right? however Most people would argue to get the Z06 if anything, but it doesnt come in Targa.. so its targa or 50 more HP..?!? .. I dont know, I would think Targa would be my choice, just cause I love them so much, + its a DD not a race car

I'd choose depending on how much of a difference it makes. I've always wanted an NSX, and after reading up a bit about them, I found out that the T-top is really sloppy compared to the coupe. Everyone said that there's a very obvious difference in how tight and rigid the coupe feels, so I would want the coupe. I know I'd also want the joy of an open top car, but I'll settle for lighter weight and a stiffer chassis.

Oh yea, this reminds me, I have to figure out the next car for me. I've been reading up more on saving money, and RRSPs, and thinking about when I plan to buy a house, etc.. and it made me realize that my current car wants are not going to be satisfied. I'm pretty certain that next summer will be my last one with the G, but it looks like I'll have to replace it with something far more modest than I originally thought.
Right now, the two contenders that I'm looking at, are either an S14 with SR, or an MR2 Turbo. I realize this is irrelevant since it's years away anyway, but I find thinking about the future to be fun, so humour me

The S14 is a familiar platform, and it's easier to make lots of power and go fast. The MR2 on the other hand, is just so damn sexy. Let me clarify first of all, that I'm talking about an SW20, not the ratbox that David drives I wouldn't want people taking this out of context and saying to David "Antonio thinks your car is sexy"

In other news, it's a really slow day at work, and I'm literally going insane. I haaaate slow days so much, you can't even imagine. I don't get to listen to music, and youtube is blocked, plus, people screen look a lot here, so I really can't think of ways to amuse myself... *sigh*

The KA-T vs. SR debate will never end, and I'd prefer either one depending on what I was going with. KA-T for big power, and SR for daily driven reliability. I doubt that even the staunchest advocates for KA-T would dare say that they can be more reliable than an SR under low boost (under 15psi)
