Driver car at 53k miles, but that's exactly what I want for dodging cones.

Congratulations that's a nice looking car. Glad you found what you were looking for.

I considered a few different cars, but ended up coming back around to this one.

E92 M3 -- Ended up I felt this one was too practical. I have a truck so I don't need a back seat. Very tempting though and very competitive in FS solo.

Porsche Cayman S -- The Porsche tax kinda put me off this one, also it doesn't really compete well in its class in solo, but still very appealing. The ones that don't have (possible) IMS issues are more expensive than the Z06 though.

Corvette C5 Z06 -- Price point to performance is really good, but since I can afford the C6 I went for it. Not a huge fan of the interior either, but I will admit it's not terrible. For solo the best Corvette buy is probably a regular C5 for BS as it competes well in that class and is really cheap.

Nice. I have a soft spot for a base C5 myself.

I hate you so much right now. In a good way.

I already have some new Rival S tires for the front that I got on the cheap from an autocrosser that had some extras he won.

Now I just need to get the downsized 18s for the rears from him after Nationals and I'll be set.

Well, then the Konis from Strano and the heads with the bronze valve guides just to be safe and I'll be set. sigh

Oooh, nice! That should be more than capable of carving cones and corners!

Get that sucker on a track and really opener up! (just not on Rival S tires. Non-S Rival for track days.)

One of the best-looking cars ever, and an amazing performer!

Couldn't pass it up at the $32k price point (pretty sure I mentioned prices of what I was looking at in another thread). Not sure there are any other stock 500hp sports cars you can get for that money.

Now I just need to work on the driver.

32K, you could sand that out to me and I could get near 35-36K for it all day long. Good deal.

Well, I'm shipping it from TX to CT since there isn't anything around here for that price.
