If I want power I'll drive my truck!!! Just always wanted one, and I'm sure you'll agree I'd look damn good in one!

My problem with owning a vette is the insurance cost...almost bought one when I was 19 but the insurance was 2x what the payment was going to be and is still WAY higher than the insurance on my SS.

AEM CAI, ARH LTs, HD-2 shift kit with vette servo, Circle D 278mm 3200 stall Madtunesracing.com street tune (MTR now has a Dynojet 248 chassis dyno)
13.82 @ 94.92 w/1.83 60'
Interesting..... I'm just 23 and although I have a squeaky clean record (thank god for defensive driving) my insurance on my vette is lower than it was on my Camaro and even my truck! You have to think that not a lot of young people have vettes they are less ticketed than mustangs and fbodies so insurance is a little better I have full coverage on my cherokee and my vette for under 120/monthOriginally Posted by ss454327
Oh and another FYI although highly debatable on corvette forums a base model LS3 vette (08+) will outrun a C5 Z06 and can be had for the same price or less than a low mileage C5Z
C6 all the way
Insurance on a vette is one of the cheapest of any coupe, because they don't have many claims come in on them. Most owners baby them. Average owner is over 50. (see old man quote above) that being said I am waiting until 25 partially for insurrance and partially, because it's a life goal.

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
Ha Ha!!! real funny G, A little advise, don't get old it really sucks! Had 20/20 vision up until a year ago, now I'm having to wear reading glasses. Oh and also, having kids will make you age twice as fast, Damn the luck!!!
I have been telling my wife I want a Vette for a long time. She is getting close to breaking on it, but not until we get rid of at least one of my vehicles...obviously I would be getting rid of the piece of shit dodge I drive to work, but if I get a Vette the truck may be going bye bye as well.
Dude my vision has been gone for 15 years and I'm only 23. When I had my eye exam last year for new contacts the dr asked me what letters on the chart....I could BARELY make out the giant E on the top. He looked at me and said "your eyes suck". Basically my vision is about 20/200.

i bought a 2000 back when i was 24. insurance has always been about the same as my truck. and there are tons of guys who sell their C6Zs for C5Zs... just sayin. and i wouldn't buy a C6 that i saw priced under $20k whereas C5s can be had in the teens easy.
mechanically for a C5, the 01-04 all had the LS6 intake manifold, and a better TPMS/key fob system. the 01 Z cam was smaller than 02-04. the late 00-04 had 241 heads instead of 853s. i personally like the gearing of the MM6 (normal) trans over the M12 (Z06).
the easiest thing would be to check out the C5 & C6 sections of corvetteforum. there's so much info from a wide range of people.
