I had a 99 C5 coupe Z51 package.. I enjoyed that car and miss having the targa top.. Other than that, The 2002 Z06 is a step up in every way.. The FRC body style is timeless too.

Where else can you get 400 factory horse power for about $20k?
I have to agree with you a 100% on this. I can't seem to get over the look of the C5Z!!

Check Guru.com! I've seen the best prices there. They recently had a white Z with 40k miles for $20k! I llllove red but white is the rarest for this car and its gangster.
Coups.... just aren't the same.

Trade-in on a 2001 Z06 with 40k is $17,650 and retail is $21,150, so $18.5-20k is about right for a private sale on that car, depending on its condition.

Ditch the standard vette and get the z car. No comparison.

I've had two Coupes...the C5Z is far better all around IMHO!
