Rep Power: 0 now you can start the REAL upgrades. Get some HREs, heads, cam, longtube headers and drop the car (MUCH simpler on a C5, they all can be lowered with factory hardware, just twist a bolt and it lowers itself, none of this strut garbage) that should put you at about 400WHP.

Rep Power: 276 I like how you say "its got to go" like its a financial thing, and then BAM! with the C5. lol. Ah well, its an awesome car, and that pushrod engine is easy to get power out of. In another year or 2 you can save to do an LS7 swap and twin turbo that! You would be getting probably about 600 at the wheels or so. Im jealous.
Last time I had this much fun some furniture got broken!

haha that sucks man, that car was cool really liked riding in it, I'll have to tell my friends about this.
Tranny update- we put it in the car on sunday, and got it fully installed, however had no tranny fluid so hopefully friday or sat at the latest I'll know how good it is running. I'll update you later.

Rep Power: 364 lol. Riceboy mentality there ^
Sure, a Pontiac Bonneville will handle like ****, but the Corvette is still a contender among contenders.
If not for the sheer fact that I'd kill myself if I had one right now, I'd love to have a C5. I actually like the body better than the C6.

i gaurantee youll be amazed when you realize that there is really no difference anymore.
EDIT: oh yeah back on topic, i was actually considering just what you did a couple months ago but im in school so i decided ill just wait and get something better. great choice, corvettes are one of my alltime favorites.

downgrade in my opinion....i hate american cars, it doesn't matter which one it is, they all feel cheaply made.......i would rather drive a slow civic than a fast american car......anyday.........and i really dislike rear wheel drive cars especially
