I decided to get my c5 a buddy instead of headers or wheels… ![http://www.peoplesynch.com/forum/gallery/data/504/medium/DSC00058.jpg](http://www.peoplesynch.com/forum/gallery/data/504/medium/DSC00058.jpg) ![http://www.peoplesynch.com/forum/gallery/data/504/medium/DSC00062.jpg](http://www.peoplesynch.com/forum/gallery/data/504/medium/DSC00062.jpg) I’ve been driving the vette everyday into work and was starting to feel bad (40k miles and its a 2000) so I bought a neon to drive everyday. The thing I thought was funny was the neon cost me less then the lg long tube pro headers I want and it runs great! I just hope they get along… ---

I bet if the Vette growls too loud that Neon’ll get flung into your house. ---

For people who know oakland, I was driving the vette down jon clair street everyday becaue it saves me 15 minutes (30 minutes round trip) and it was beating the crap out of the vette. I didn’t want anythng to nice or fun because it will be a throw away car (drive it for a year or 2 and give it away) and pittsburgh really beats the crap out of a car. ---

Less miles on Vette = Higher resale when the time comes. And he’s right, Pittsburgh (especially Oakland) is Hell on cars, espicially wheels and suspension. Worth it in the long run to whip a Neon than put headers in the Vette and then have to replace wheels from all the fucking potholes. Good thinking here. ---
