If it isn't a salvage car or something like that, I'm about to rage into the monitor.

nope the car fax came through 100% clean. the car was on the showroom floor bought and serviced from the same dealer since new.

Would support if C6, the cartoonishly bad interior of the C5's ruins them for me:( Love the way they look otherwise though!

what bugs you so much about the interior of the c5

If it doesnt bug you, it doesnt matter:) Poor materials, poor fit/finish, poor seats...to me.

By saying this, im not implying the 3/S is that much better material wise, just better executed and doesnt appear so cheap.

well if it's cheap, it's disposable. that means that it's a great project for a complete interior remodel.

p.s.

popups still suck.

Pop ups in general do suck, but they are what made a Vette a Vette. Sure the C1's didn't have popups but the C2 to C5 all did and going away from them with the C6 was an annoyance in my opinion. The headlights on a C6 look kinda cool, but they are not Vette headlights.

My ultimate Vette would have the C5 front with a C6 rear.

i agree stealthee the c6 rear end is amazing..but the new non pop ups on the c6 make the car look soo sinister..

IPD

i disagree. c6 front > c5 front. very, very few cars have ever made pop-ups look good. the 1g 3kgt is among them.

the c5 front doesn't even look as good as an 02 firebird front, imho.

01-15-2011, 05:46 PM
Sorry, but a 1g3k front looks bad with the popups. Especially with them up. 1G RT blows away the looks of a 1g 3k in the front end.

The C5 had curves involved in the popups and pulled it off well.

Awe Picco, one of my favorite Colorado 3S. Here's some pic's from a few meets before you check out :sulk2:. A vette will never look this good but it will be fun as hell to drive. It pains me to see you parting some of this stuff out but it's time to move on, and you've always been a chebby guy :coo3l:
