yeah insurance would blow

 

You would be surprised how cheap it is to insure a C5. It cost me $550 every 6 months to insure the base Vette. Our cars are so expensive because of their reputation(i.e. claims/accidents, driven by the younger crowd).

 

$550? That's all? Thats's not bad at all. Who do you have insurance with?

 

Geico...Most people who own/drive a Vette are the older crowd and keep it garaged most of it's life. That's why insurance isn't terrible on them. In fact, a C6 is CHEAPER to insure than a C5 (more safety features). Go figure

 

lol...makes me wish I would have bought the used Z06 I saw at the dealership when I bought my car. An 04 for 35k

 

Dont know how it works in the US but

Jkennedy and Blackngold, how old are u guys? Jken has a point about the age but thats dependant on the driver just not on a basic assumption of the age of the general mass of corvette owners

 

I'm 26

 

I'm 22

It's on both.

 

Im moving back to the US here its driving record and ur age. Good luck affording ur car payment when ur insurance is 6g's a year @ age 22.

 

thats insane...I'd rather take the bus

 

Hmmm...Don't know what you're talking about. Before I sold the Vette, both the Cobalt and the Vette cost 1,200 bucks every 6 months to insure. Completely doable for me. I'm shopping for an 02-03 Z06 right now...

 

try that in canada. Between car prices and insurance you'd be driven a toyota corolla in now time.

After university I hadn't been driving continuously for some time and when I went to buy the SS 9/10 insurance companies wanted 5g's a year for insurance.

 

Ohhh you're in Canada. Yeah that sucks man...

 

Wishing I was back in the states, everytime I buy/do something related to cars




Sorry for the hi-jack...................... S2000 fo sho

 

same here, came in a hardtop i'd get it....
but I dunno bout buying a cobalt...

 

Have you considered a GTO? the 04's are well under 20K

I dare you to go on an s2000 board and then a random car board and say this crap, I suggest you bring some KY for your gay ass because they will bend you over for being a ******* ricer.

we have a honda lover

and the Timmy award goes too....tumadre

 

gto ftw

what? you still here Timmy? stay in corner and keep trying to catch your own thumb

 

wasey you back again 5 time this week.say goodbye

 

Well the only one on this site that could be inviting you back would be no other than??

 

so do you wake up everyday with hatred in your heart?

 

RAO.

 

Wasey's right I hate to say. The S2000 is a nicer, faster car. True it costs more and is out of our class but its still nicer.

Wow gone already! That was fast.

 

I understand what your saying k/54. And if those things are important to you, then more power to 'ya!

But for me, I've been a drag racer my entire life. So Weight/HP for the $$ I can afford is the ONLY important equation I use.

For me, that's about the only thing that matters. That's why I would never purchase an S2000.

If that's what you like, then I guess that's all that matters.

But for me, "13.9", "14.1", whatever. Still not good enough for meeting MY requirements for $$ well spent. But those are MY rules for how I buy MY cars.

So have fun with your S2000!

My point exactly ...

 

I raced my buddies S2000 and it was dead even from a dig and I only have engine mounts and air box mod....but his car is way nicer and handles awesome..I mean if him and I both pulled up somewhere....no ones looking at my car ha
