those were all in response to other posts. I suggest you go have a talk with the other people who started this. Get off my case as well. Don't like what I post? Ignore me. Get over yourself.Quote:

Did I start this thread and ask him for his statement on how he views Corvettes? No. No need to post what he did unless he was looking for a fight. So, really, he started this. I don't care if you've disagreed with him in the past....What difference does that make to me?Quote:

Actually I didn't. I referred to BOTH the C5 and C6, and all the reasons why Corvette purists did not like the direction the GM design team was taking. You then tried to talk solely about the C5. And yes, you attacked MY car, which you know nothing about. (Believe me, I'm not losing to a BPU C5 Vette unless I start in 2nd gear.) As far as looks go, do you really think you're going to win that argument here? I suggest you let this *whatever this is* go. If I wanted to call the C5 worthless, that would be my exact words. THE C5 AND C6 ARE NOT VIEWED AS COLLECTIBLE BY CORVETTE ENTHUSIASTS. What is so hard for you to understand about that? Hell, the C4 is a collectible in a LOT of ways. The ZR1, the 40th Anniversary, the LT4/5 engine cars, the Grand Sport, the 96 Collectors edition... But, according to you, the C4 is the LEAST collectible.Quote:

I don't know who these purists are? :lol:
I would say this guy is an enthusiast

I think we can both agree the c4 is the worst looking corvette ever. :)Quote:

Sigh. Linda, your first link has a C4 Grand Sport... listed ahead of the Z06. Your second link talks about a guy with a 99 Corvette that he drives... because all his other OLDER Corvettes are classics. Your third link is now talking about FUTURE collectibility???
I think something is wrong with your ability to reason.
:lol: Please tell me you at least took the time to read it. Here is a direct quote from the article you posted.Quote:

That quote "from an enthusiast" pretty much proves my point about the C5/C6.
but the c5 isn't going to be a collectors item.Quote:

You made mention of the C6 :) That's why I added that link. :)
most people don't collect new stuff. They are out collecting junk like the c4 :)Quote:

Collector car status usually starts when the car is 20 years old. Thats when people want it. The C5 is still too new to be collecting.
I don't think anyone here, especially Todd said it would be the most collected Corvette.Quote:

Oh right, Corvette purists have the C5 and C6....My bad.
So I am going to disassemble the corvette and throw it in the trash since the "purists" don't like it.
I like the C5 better than the C6, therefore it is way better.Quote:

My Jeep is slow. Unlike the junky c5 corvette that purists don't like.Quote:

This thread is fail.
Yes, because my Camry is built for blistering the asphalt. :lol:Quote:

According to this thread its going to be cheap. Sight unseen. Actually someone here thought it was an FRC :)Quote:

Depends on how you measure "cheap". I mean they're a shitload of car, and what they go for is "cheap" (read: a bargain). You took it as offensive like "he's a cheap whore", as opposed to "damn, that's cheap!".
In any event, Todd's comment wasn't meant to be inflammatory, just a general observence/opinion and I don't see where he belittled Sean's car at all. Plus, he lives in Texas, I don't know if you've seen how many Vettes are down that way...but they're everywhere and do sell below the national average.
The FRC comment I'm sure was because that's what Melis drove. He just got confused, it happens.
Jeremy
Maybe I am. But why feel the need to post that someone turned down an 84 vette for a stealth...no purpose....other than to put down someones car.
Okay, he is speaking out of his ass because it isn't. Regardless of who owns it. Cheap? Okay, when someone is having to depart with something that they love, saying their possession is cheap is wrong regardless of the reason. It not only offended me but it offended Sean. So I am not sure what to tell anyone. People took offense to it.Quote:

A car that doesn't even compare to the C5. The C5 is better in ever aspect. Then he felt the need to tell me what "purist" think.
This thread was posted to let people know Sean is joining the 3s community again. For no other reason. But again, some douche had to tell him what his "purist" friends think.
Seriously? What is wrong with you? I was looking for sports cars. That INCLUDED Corvettes. The C4 Vette held it's value very well at the time (considering a 1987 240hp car that was four years older than a 91 TT cost about the same.) No one "put down" anything, except for you.Quote:
