Those that may own currently or have owned either a C5 or C6 Vette, what are your opinions on them? Im curious about maybe parking a Corvette next to my Shelby in the future. Id want a coupe, with automatic so my wife can drive on road trips. I think a C5 would make a great starting point for a relatively cheap Mexico car once I get done building my GT500.
I see the C5 starting to get closer to the 4 digit price territory, and there appear to be a SHIT LOAD of parts available.
Then again, 2005-2007 LS2 powered Corvettes are also heading down. I know the LS3 is a beastly LS engine, but the 08+ Vettes seem to still be expensive. A 97-04 would make for a super cheap payment for the wife and I, and I can slap an LS3 junkyard engine in it when I blow up the LS1.
I wonder if there is a dropoff for car values coming? I remember there was a bunch of speculation that the lockdowns plus Hertz going bankrupt would absolutely crater the used market. Yet, here we are with used prices at nearly all time highs.
@03Sssnake @jeffh81 What say the resident darkside car guys?
