Very sharp! C5s look so much better with the door bump strip removed. I was pretty set on getting a c5z about 2 years ago, but i bought a bike and a benz instead.

Anyway, cool car!

Thanks! Yeah they were off before I bought the car otherwise they would've been stripped the second I got it home. Nice choices - toys are good haha.

Nice whip!

Thank you, sir.

Welcome, and nice Vette. Always had a soft spot for those cars, definitely sounds like a fun setup you got.

Thanks! Yeah, a C5Z has been my 'realistic' dream car since market prices really came down a few years ago. It's pretty tough to beat for value/dollar - 405hp, cheap insurance, 30+mpg on the highway, proven and pretty reliable, great handling and it's fairly reasonable to mod/maintain. Interior's nothing to write home about but HUD is nice and I can read and clear DTC codes from the dash.

Since everyone likes video, here's one of the car when I just got it back from the cam install. Just a quick idle/rev vid but people were bugging me for one when I got it back:

Skip to about 50 seconds in....

Oherrow!

Thanks, Dave. I'm going to probably in a week or so. Looking like I should be able to make it.

Very nice car. Hopefully I find one this spring. How does this compare to the new z06?
