Default 01 S2000 or a 99 C5

Should I keep my S2K MY2001 25,000 miles mint (have turbo kit in boxes)

or buy my buddies

1999 C5 with 55K miles. Nice shape as well, just a hair more used.


Either cars are payed off and are not DD's.

There are 8 million vettes out there, and 1/100 the S2k's. Keep it.

Honestly, there are plenty of S2K's around Atlanta. Probably more of them then Vette's. Either car isnt all that rare. I am looking at it stricktly from fun / performance factor. Both have pro's and cons.

Corvettes feel big to me. But they'll out-accelerate and out-handle a stock-ish S, so really the choice is yours. I personally wouldn't.

if the vette was a z06 yes but I'd take a S over a regular c5.

you said it's not a DD, so have some fun with the S.

I sat in a C5 w/ t-tops the other day i was sickened! when i closed the door it rattled so bad, i thought the door wasnt closed so i did it again, same result. the seats are bad the interior is bad the radio & buttons look like they come out of a rental SUV........but its damn fast, handles like crazy, and sounds great even stock. so the question is whats more important...speed or quality?!?

You're probobly overexagerating or don't remember well, I had a C5 with well over 100k on it and it was completely rattle free. Also C5's never came with ttops...
