A customer stopped by my shop a while back with his son's '01 Z06..red too. Asked me if I wanted to drive it. I thought about it for .0001th of a second and said "sure".  JEEZ! that car was like riding my son's crotch rocket....almost. I had to back off before I even got to sixth gear! What a rush!

   I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

The good thing is that it wasn't a true test drive. I do some work on the side for a few car dealerships in the evenings and on weekends. I had to go pick up a printer cable, so they let me drive the vette (this is a high-end used car store). No sales pressure at all  (well, except from me!).

One of my buddies had an 02 Z06 he let me drive. Oh man was that sweet. I would love to have a C5 Z06 someday. Well the Z has been sold and is gone now. His wife has bought a yellow C6 vert. Now that is another sweet ride. I cannot get over how quite the car is with the top up. Then when you mash the go pedal, it really wakes up and moves out. All good stuff for sure.

One of these days, I would love the Electron Blue C5 Z06 to be setting in my garage.

Thats funny Eddie cause I would love to have your car sitting in my garage one of these days...

The best accessory for a C3 is a C5.  Best thing about the C5 (well, one of the myriad best things) and C4's too is that their prices are regulated by nothing but the used car market, so AEs asside, you can get a lot of car for the money.

I forgot to mention all the money you'll save by putting collector's insurance on your C3 now that you'll be driving it less.  Not to mention air bags, etc to convince "she who must be obeyed" that it is ok for me to take my daughter for a ride.

So old John got igniton bit!  auhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Well my dad bought a c6 a couple of months ago. That is a super car. almost had to dial 911 to get me out  WooooooooooooooooW

I love Micki's right on description of driving a C3. I sold a C4 to buy my current C3. I am so into the old stuff that I know my next Vette will be a C2. For me, older is better. At least for cars.
