Last year I sold my supercharged C5 vert. I hated seeing it go but after spending almost 300K on another bodyshop, I needed cash.
So I traded an alignment rack for a girly car. It was a '95 Miata that soon became painted, lowered, wheels, interior, blah, blah, blah.
I learned soon enough that what it lacked in power, it made up in fun factor... the car is a blast to drive.
Well, about a month ago, I was offered my C5 back at 9K less than I sold it for and it only had 1500 more miles on it.
I hate to say this but I declined. The vette was beautiful and fast but I held off.
I bought this last Friday.
Gonna hit the dyno Monday with the new engine but the last engine dyno'd out at 430HP/460TQ at the rear wheels. I'm guessing this one will be a little more, we'll see.
Not bad for a 2200lb car.
So I guess for now, I won't be getting another vette any time soon. Some day, again, definitely but for now, I'll go play with the pocket rocket.
Now, just gotta decide what color to paint it.
