I still shoot myself for not buying a C5Z and buying my GTO

 

that's a tough one pal.

C5Z is a great beater car, cheap, plenty out there, quick, and get great mpg on the highway.

 

I avg'ed 18mpg all the time, and I was not easy on it by any means. set the cruise at 60mph and it would do 28-31 everytime!

 

drove one to oklahoma city and back and was impressed with it. if you changed out the driver touch points (steering wheel, seats) and got a hurst shifter it would be quite livable. the first thing i do when getting in a car is turning off TC but the competition mode was actually nicely judged. allowed enough slip to have fun, especially considering it wasn't my car.

 

Ironically a friend of mine just hit the LS2 GTO bearing failure time. The first thing he said to me today was "I should have picked up that C5 Z06 I saw instead of this."

The reason the C5 Corvettes leak is because the FRC top is actually glued and bolted onto the car. If you take out the interior panels and all of that. You'll find glue and bolts holding the top together. A guy who specializes in C5s showed me this.

 

I had one for a while and just a great all around toy that turned into my road trip car getting around 30mpg's on the highway. I wish I would have kept it, for the money there are not many cars that can be driven to the track, flogged and get great gas mileage on the way home. Never had a problem with it, and the guy who bought mine loves it and has had zero problems and threatens to never part with it.

Go for it.

 

thanks for all the feedback guys...i bit the bullet and made a purchase earlier this week...
