C5 vette question
I really want a C5 corvette. What is the best year to get? I want the strongest motor. I can’t afford a brand new one or a Z06 so that’s out of the question. And if I got this car what mods would I need to do to get it into the 11’s. Should I get an auto or 6 speed? Im new to the corvette/domestic seen what would you do in my case?

If it were me, id be looking at a getting a 2000+ since they started getting ls6 parts around then. Doing a 6 speed car, and put on long tubes, catback, intake setup. Toss in a cam, put some sticky tires on and learn how to drive it.

An M6 clutch will go out way before the 4L60 breaks....

I'm sure you know way more than I do about it, but I think I remember you posting about rebuilding your a4 a couple times.

Find a 99 fixed roof coupe...or FRC for short. They were the predecessor to the Z06. Very lightweight and great to mod. Kinda rare though.
