Borla out of the 2, but im a fan of SLP
although no two f-bodies will sound a like, you can check out www.ls1sounds.com they have em all lol

and when i say C5, thats the models right before the ones now, the LS1s (not the C4 LT1s..) and they go from 97-2004 i've sseen some for $17,000 - $32,000 mostly in the $21k range but some 97 and 98s are 17k... look on like autotrader or craigslist, im sure youll find one.


or if those arent cool, GTOs are the same price for sure, less than $20,000

 

Yea i checked autotrader for corvettes, not to many for that price range right now, the GTOs are nice, i checked them out a while ago, but they are too new for me, and they don't really have the sports car look im goin for.

 

my dad paid 26k for his C5 with i beleave 14kmi when he bought. it has 16kmi atm.

 

my mom bought our our C5 for $46,000 with like 100 miles on it

and we got $29,000 on the insurance check with 55k miles on it

 

yeah they really dont, personally i dont like the GTO, looks wise.

 

Alright more questions, Manual or Automatic? i do not know how to drive a manual, but i feel like i should learn if im getting a sports car, but then again i hear automatics are the new things and can beat pretty much any manual with the proper shift kits and what not, also, whats the highest price you would pay for a 2000-2002 SS or WS6? im looking for one with under 50,000 miles on it, I would prefer it to either be stock, or with simple upgrades like exhaust and Intake, just need to get an idea on absolute highest price i should go for one in good condition.

 

well, Auto > manual with average driver.. but Manual is more fun and can be faster with a good driver.. that choice is up to you, personally, i would never buy a auto car, let alone a auto sports car.

im looking at a 00 black SS with just exhaust and TT II rims and a 2.5kw stereo, and he wants 9200. the downside is it has 109kmi. but that isn't that bad.

Check out LS1tech.com's for sale section, they usually have good deals on camaros. not so much on WS6's though. and for <50kmi, i'd expect to pay between 12k-16k, again, depending on mileage, theres some with ~20kmi selling for 17-25k.

check out www.craigslist.com too

 

Get the 6spd...

The auto works fine if you change the gear ration (but you said you wanted stock, so that wont happen)and i mean really, are you that lazy that you need an auto?

 

Not lazy at all, but i dont know how to drive a manual at the moment, i hear from people that automatic is the way to go for racing now a days, plus i have a brother with an automatic mustang GT piece that i have to absolutely demolish in any race..

 

itas not hard to learn, took me all of like 2 hours to have it down pat...

and if he doesnt upgrade the shift, then you'll beat it with astick since most regular autos shift at like 2-3k rpm and you can go up to 5000 (like 45 in1st gear) and plus more if you work with your gears
