After having great luck and really enjoying my C5 the past few years, it was finally time to update. I was pretty set on buying a C6, even considered a higher mileage zo6. Eventually I broadened my search to 2nd gen GTS’s, which really seemed to make more sense. I can buy the car now, keep it for a few years, or keep it forever, and loose little to nothing on it in that time with raising values. I ended up stumbling across this: 1998 44k bunch of work done at ROE - cam, exhaust, etc. Should be arriving some time next week. I really hope it makes it here before my wedding on the 21st. I’ll get some better pictures after it arrives. ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36441&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36441&stc=1) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36442&stc=1](http://www.nyspeed.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36442&stc=1) ---

But I’m going to live with them for a bit, the tires have under 2k on them, and a new set is not in the budget this year. I need to look into lowering options, my vette had absolutely no gap at all. Looking at those gaping wheel wells is going to bother me. ---

I think I have a set of lowering caps, custom modified koni’s and coil overs I need to look in my garage. Also have black sidewinders, silver sidewinders, and a set of bbs wheels I’d sell. I think I have a few gen 3 intakes if you want to clean that up, I might be selling my built 3:73 rear diff too. 😛 1998 is a great year, forged bottom end, that silver looks great, awesome purchase. Congrats!! Roe does really good stuff. ---

I usually take mine out at least 20-30 miles a week, sometimes I just drive for no reason. I just had @SOLITUDE put in a new sub/amp/headunit and it’s like a concert in there. ---
