That is a wicked automobile VFJACKAL. Bit of a vette enthusiast myself. You wanna drive it fast? Take it to a track. Those are great to slalom in as well. I've only slalomed C3's, but the C5's do just fine and even better at the track. I'm saving up for a Z06 one day, or if possible, whatever performance C6 model they eventually come out with. Either that or a 65-67 BB :)  Sweet ride man, enjoy it, and drive it like ya stole it! Any mods?

Im trying to keep it pretty stock as far as performance goes. Mietla does have a point. I can go as fast as I want to (been 162 mph in 3 of them) but it was 2 in the morning and a ticket would have been nothing compared to jail.

I would like some chrome Z06 Wheels for it tho. Maybe do some interior mods to it. Speakers and stuff. We'll see how it goes. Not in any hurry . I have it now and can take my time with it.

I tell you what though...When driving 50 and stopming that pedal only to have the bellybutton end break loose (cause I forgot to hit the Traction Control Button)It is one awsome feeling.

Laters:D

No Sorry buddy...Sad to say it's an Automatic. Since wife is gonna drive it (a few times) she sort of said no 6 speed. I wanted one but I couldn't see her dumping the clutch and doing about 5 donuts before she knew what happend. She can drive a stick..But this 350hp is a bit different than that Honda she used to have.

It still scoots on command tho.     :cool:

You waited 26 years to buy the car of your dreams after all that hard work, and then bought an automatic because you wife might drive it?

XnachoX, tell him again the “ It’s all about style” part.

Sheesh!

(It's a sweet ride already, not sure why the auto tranny makes a diffrence, but don't let Laz bait you into clam whipped excuses.)

Didnt figure you would do that.  hehehehehehehe

Still tho....a 6 speed would have been nice, but I have NO regrets what so ever getting an automatic. Today on the way to work , I SMOKED a Z28 off the line...COurse he missed a gear bad...SO..It does have its advantages for us older uncordinated guys. LOL;)

Speaking of that...Took my 81 year old grandmother for a ride in the Vette with the top off. She was worried about getting to much air so I went slow around the block a couple times. She was just smiling and waiving at her friends in the retirment village.

And to quote her after the ride...she said...."Jeffy...That is a sweet ride and after all you have done your lil wife and you deserve it. But don't ever think Mama is gonna go more than around the block in it with you. At my age 40 mph is fast enuff"  LOLLOLOL:)
