I've had a C5Z for 8 years as my fun car and never put many miles on it (3k per year). It's not the most comfortable car and C5's in general have a lot of small issues that pop up from time to time so you have to know your car pretty well. As I made plans to upgrade it I realized soon that parts are very expensive for vettes. I thoroughly enjoyed the car and it was certainly fast but most of the time I just putted around and it was a compromise. Sold it about a month ago and picked up a 2014 Focus ST. I now daily the Focus with Stage 3 mods and it isn't nearly as fast as the Z06 but I find myself having more fun with it. Maybe it's because it is new to me, maybe it is because I'm putting more miles on it and driving it everywhere, or maybe it is because it is more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow. I had several reasons why this was a good decision for me which likely don't apply to your own situation but that is my input on two of the cars you listed.

I’m Selling 4 with good winter tires in a post below for $200.

I know this isn’t what you asked for and I don’t have many details yet but I have a friend in Lancaster area looking to sell an RX8. Car is red, manual, clean daily driver. It also has a very nice custom stereo that has one several awards for sound quality. If you want more info, I can put you in touch with him.

I sold my Ford Fusion a month ago but still have my winter tires so posting here for sale. Factory steel 17” Fusion SE 2010 wheels with beauty covers and TPMS sensors. General Articmax winter tires 215/55-17, used two seasons and about 15k miles. Still lots of life left and only on the car from Nov 15th to March 15 each year. $300 - you can text me at 4198891481 if interested.

Are we still able to buy a spot day of for a little extra? I see it in the original post but a lot has transpired since then so just confirming. I have another rental on Saturday but may come over to get some practice runs in before that one and support CR.

Magnaflow "Magnapack" exhaust for C5. 2 tips instead of the normal 4 on C5s. Requires welding for install, I currently have it set up to slip over long tube headers but I will also give you the front cat section it used to be welded to. This exhaust is loud, deep, burbles on decel, and does drone at 70ish mph. $200 local pickup only in Findlay Ohio.

Aluminum LS2 trailblazer SS block with forged Eagle rotating assembly. 58x reluctor wheel (Lingenfelter makes a 24x/58x communion box) CR is 10.6 with 64cc heads (has -12cc valve reliefs) Build had about 10k on it whiped a cam lobe and the previous owner replaced it with a stock LS2 and sold the trailblazer. I bought the short block to put into my C5Z but have decided to likely sell it too. Sitting on an engine stand and can be inspected. No ridge on the cylinder walls and can still see the cross hatching. I'm not much for haggling on price so I want $2500 firm. Located in Findlay Ohio. My name is Bob and you can PM me here or text me at 4198891481; please no calls.

Saturday, October 15th another group I race with is doing a drag strip rental at Milan Michigan. I doubt there is any interest here due to the distance but thought I'd throw it out in case. Cost is $60 per spot to race, $10 each to spectate. I believe the hours are 10a-2p. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll send you all the details, they have 35 spots still open as of this writing and I'm just trying to help them fill them.

I'm probably going out for races on Sunday but not riding.

I have this unit which is a lower end alternative: http://m.sportsauthority.com/Allen-Deluxe-4-Bike-Hitch-Mount-Bike-Carrier/product.jsp?productId=3383480&ci_sku=5449479&ci_src=17588969&gclid=CIC_s6Pq4cUCFQUPaQodCRkAzg&gclsrc=aw.ds I did have to make some mods to it in order to make it fit the way I wanted and up until now I've only hauled 2 full size and 2 youth bikes with it. They also have a model for smaller receivers.

Some credit unions have discounted tickets. Look into the fast pass if you plan to go after school is out and want to ride a lot.

I agree that bikes are easier to get tech ready. For less than the cost of a cage in your car you could have everything you need to go really fast on a bike. If there is anything I can help with, let me know because I need to get mine around anyway.

I ran a motorcycle with ECTA a decade ago at Maxton and will likely do it again in the next 12 months now that they are in Ohio. It's a great group with strict tech for good reason. Standing mile is a humbling experience.
