				If you sold your car and had to buy a NON F-body what would it be. Think of working within your current budget. I would like a late 80's BMW M3. With a 3.0 or 3.2 M3 engine. A Street Modified car. With flares and 245/17's. Or an E36 M3 for BSP. That one would depend on purchase price though. |

				If I was going to look at something like a Z06 again, I think I'd go with a 99-00 FRC (fixed roof coupe) instead.  They are going REALLY cheap, and will just drop more when the C6 is out.  I've actually seen a few FRCs go in the $22K range.  Take the FRC, add some race wheels/tires in GS sizes (17x9.5" front/17x11" rear), add the 04 Z06 shocks, then do headers and a big cam and you'll blow stock Z06s off the track for substantially less money. Of course, if I found a really good deal on a Z06 I wouldn't pass it up, but I think I'd want a 02-04 this time so it would have HUD. The nice thing about Z06s is they are so good out of the box. The only things you realy need are race tires, 04 Z06 shocks, and some better seats (the stock Z06/base C5 seats SUCK!!). |
