I drive a 01 C5 coupe with 490hp(no N20),killer brakes, upgraded suspension,safety equiptment. 10 track events a year and daily driving. Cost ~50K with upgrades. Also drive 01 S4 Avant. They are different cars. Forget what people think and do what You want to do. I know the stigma you refer to but why should you let a stigma dictate your enjoyment of supercar level performance. My C5 will pounce an Rs4 on anything but a rainsoaked track. Go drive the C5. Unless your work/life situation dictates that you follow the masses-like you are a lawyer who can only drive an M5,S500 or 911 because anything less would SHOW that you arent successful. I dont subscribe to that B.S. personally. I shopped all the hot cars a couple years ago and went S4- it's obvious and C5 because of the easily obtainable exotic level performance-without ever having to wait 2 months for spare parts.

I own 3 plus my S4 avant and a host of others. CORVETTES are one of the least understood most underrated cars in America. The only problem is when they are owned by WINGNUTS (like a lot of folks on this board) woh beat the hell out of them and then sell them off and lower the values. I have a 92 a 93 zr1 40th ann. edition and a 96 grand sport and they are all a joy to drive, very fast and fuel effieient when driven sanely.

Yes, midlife crisis! But he's enjoying the hell out of it, and is planning on taking it to the QCUSA driving school at VIR in April!
