For the same reason someone drives a 60/70 Corvette in the first place. What's the "logical" reason to drive a C2 or C3 at all? After all, most C5's are faster and handle better, certainly all C6's...

I agree. I hate phones. I'd much rather deal with email so I can respond on my schedule.

You know, I really don't think that it is. Not because it can't compete from a performance standpoint, but from a SALES standpoint, there's not much room for comparison.

2014 Kissimmee NCRS meet. It would be nice to get the banner somewhere south of Virginia.

To be fair, one thing that's frequently overlooked is that mileage isn't everything.

For example, my 98 has only 80K miles on it. Not bad. But let's also remember it's fifteen years old. AGE my...

I agree. I've got a set I've been screwing around with forever just to try and paint. Never have got them looking like I'd like them to look. If I had it to do all over again, I'd just buy some.

A lot depends on what you're after and what you're willing to compromise on.

With only $2K to work with, you're not going to get very far. I'd look into a nitrous system with that kind of budget....

THAT is an exaggeration. You can't find a nice 98 with 81K miles on it for $12K.

You can however, find one for about $14K.

I hate to say it, but I agree.

I agree. If you run out and put 100K miles on it, you'll probably get hit but even then, more than likely it would only cost you about $3K.

Go drive it.

I suggest you come to my house and buy my 98 with 83,000 miles for $17,000. It doesn't need any of that.


But past that, how did you go from a $700 top and a couple of trim pieces to $2,000...
