Something completely different.


I haven't had much time to get some decent pics and the car needs a DAMN GOOD go with the Zymol, but I wanted to get some pics up of the new "baby"







A Happy Chappy.

BLISTERINGLY fast.
Which is a little in something this big & heavy.

Just got back from a night out and the Heads up display, that's cool during the day, looks SOOOOO cool at night.

Gone from 2ltr 240bhp to a 5.7ltr 350bhp and I'm paying

Have you bought some cowboy boots, a bootlace tie and some chewing tobacco to go with it?

Yee haar, redneck! Just don't try to go round any corners ...

'ere... I've got some cowboy boots, from my younger days, around somewhere.

And you're right about the corners.
Although the EU model has had the suspension upgraded so it's not as bad as you think, but compared to the S... I still don't think I'd want to try and compete.

My first mod will probably be a throw back from the good old S2000 days, and go for a louder exhaust.

I like the older classic 'Vettes but the newer ones don't do it for me quite so much. Still, it's sufficiently different to the usual "trading up" choices on here so that alone makes it worthy of a

(Looks much better from the back than from the front! Very mean with the quad exhausts and the four rear lamps )

I hear you Mark.

I would've loved one of these.
1974
But the interiors are VERY dated, assuming you can find one that's already been completely refurbished, and I wanted a bit more luxury.

nice car

so what if it doesn't corner that well?

not the reason you have cars like that is it?

it will make up for any handling deficiencies by shortening the straight bits

good for you for going for something left field

Love it. The C5 is so underated and written off as a barge. I have driven a few in the US and been passenger in a Z06 with the Ti exhaust. I would say get that as it makes the thing rumble like a proper big block should. The Stingrays are shocking things and handle like milk floats, 7L milkfloats I grant you but still bad news.



That is a great car.



....er price?
