as many know, getting a Z06 is not something i want to do right now. after my accident i just dont want that type pf payment. on top of that my insurance is through the roof now. anyways, i need to get a fuckin sportscar soon. i cant take it anymore, its been almost a year now. so, i am either gonna get a 97-99 C5 or a LS1 TA or Firehawk. if i get a TA, i dont want to spend more than 17. if i get a vette, no more than low 20s tops. what do u guys think i should get. i really want to get a car, but i spend so much money on other stuff, that i dont want to go overboard. i just love how TAs look, but ive always been a vette guy 1st. it’d be nice to get a TA for alittle cheaper than a C5 (then i could take that extra cash and maybe get another bike), but i dont want to regret not gettin the vette after the novelty of the TA wears off. i dunno, just lookin at my options…lets hear some opinions. ---

Get the Vette! There is no comparison. I have a '99 Z28 and my dad has an '01 Vette. Trust me, from my experience, the TA has nothing on a Vette, except for maybe the exterior style. ---

I’d say get the vette… I mean, yopu know you want a vette, if you get a 'Maro or something, you’re still going to be thinking “damn i want a vette” everytime you see one. I say just go for the vette… Check out ebay, there might be a couple nice ones on there that are sorta close that you can check out in person adn maybe get for a good price.? ---
