Oh, and I'm sure there are more places - but THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE (well, this is the C5 section) is where I hung out when I had my C4 LT4.

Hated to see you lose the SC, but you got another beauty. Good luck with it, and whats your plans with it?

I just saw another ZR-1 C-6 this morning too...Is this a sign?

It's a common misconception that the LS6 in the z06 was a 6 liter. It was still a 5.7. Essentially a built LS1.

Z06 are crazy bargains right now, great grab man and an excellent color choice

Thanks for the + comments guys, I fugured i would get bashed for going back to a domestic.

The more i drive the Vette the more i like it, however the fit/finish is light years behind the lexus and the interior feels "cheap" in comparison, BUT the power to weight ratio is INSANE 400hp/3100lbs and it feels fast even stock running mid/low 12sec 1/4 mi, also it handles like a go kart on rails all while getting 22-24mpg aveage and 28-30mpg highway LOL Its probably the most car for the money available on the market right now. And the thing that really blew my mind was that the insurance was CHEAPER than my SC

It already has a Corsa cat back so i plan on just doing some minor cosmetic mods and bolt ons such as CAI,long tubes,x pipe,tune,shifter and MAYBE a cam later down the road, but im pretty satisfied with the stock performance so nothing major........ yet

Id like to get it to a point where i can stop spending money on mods and just buy stuff like tires and start doing some auto-x or road racing at a local track.

I hate all domestics, but Camaros, GTO's and Vettes (LS motors in general) have a soft spot in my heart.

so you get a pass.. haha

I LOVE the LS powertrain but ive never really liked the GTO and after owning a trans am id never go back to another F-body so the Vette was my only option.
