If only it was a manual, but I'm not sure the STS was offered in a manual. The CTS has way better lines, too. 

At least somebody at Porsche is paying attention, damn. 

My buddies Plaid lease after 3 years had a lease balance of $88k. A new Plaid is $82k now. Needless to say he got another lease.

I thought it was funny that $30k in mods got Vin a about a dozen more hp. That seems like a terrible ROI. 

My first Corvette was a ‘94 automatic I got for $4k and that car was amazing. Daily drove it until I flipped it one winter. Bought an ‘01 6 speed for $14k and put 200k miles on it with 24mpg average. Currently looking for a manual C6 for less than $20k with under 100k miles. Got a couple months before winter, so

My '94 was only $4k and was a solid driver. You don't want a pre '90 C4 to begin with, but an unknown runner is a definite no go. 

I've been considering these because of the price. There are a few in the $14k range with less than 100k miles. I haven't driven one yet, so I need to do that first. 

I paid $14k for my '01 Corvette, that's the most I've spent to date. I am willing to spend $18k for my next Corvette, the issue is finding a manual. You also gotta buy it in the winter because the prices are WAY better. Kinda like buying a boat or a motorcycle. 

My first Vette was a '94 C4 I was going to cut up for my '66 C10 project. It was $4k and ran awesome, but was an automatic (perfect for the truck). After driving it a month, I couldn't cut it up. I bought an '01 C5 Z51 6 speed and it was all over. Not only the funnest car I've ever owned, but also the most reliable.

Close, make it $18k and I’m in. As horrible as the C6 seats are, the C5 seats are WAY worse, why would you do that? The C4 batwing seats are awesome, put those in if you want to stay Vette.

He got a lot farther than I thought he would based on his first video. 

If only you could buy talent with all that money.

Just get an '08 Corvette and be done with it. Change the seats, put Z06 shocks and sway bars and you can put 300k miles on an LS3 while getting 28mpg on the freeway. Stupid reliable and track ready out of the box. 

If it weren't for the red interior, I would have bought it already. I would rather a trunk vs the lift back, but the manual is what I'm after. The later C3's are the start of the slush box Vette's and it's unfortunate. A Corvette should be a manual unless you have physical limitations. 

I wish it was a sport coupe rather than a crossover. Kind of a waste imo. 

I agree that the C5Z is hands down the best bang for buck ever. I started with a ‘94 C4I got for $4k as a donor for a project and fell in love with it. I later bought an ‘01 C5 base with Z51 for my daily that only had 72k miles on a 15 year old car. It had 201k on it when I sold it.

You are at an F1 race in Miami, you are not at Golden Corral. Maybe next time fly to a race in Italy where nobody will care how much fruit you are. 

It sold for nearly $20k, my neighbor has one just like it on Facebook marketplace for $4500. 

$32k is C6Z06 money, not C5. Fantastic car, but more like $25k. I looked at an ‘02 Z06 that has 14k miles on it that was $26k. Nice try 

There is a 2.0t manual for $20k with less than 20k miles on it near me. I wish it was a coupe, but I might give it a try for fun.
