RadDawg Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 The Caddy just wasn't doing it, so I purchased this little toy last week: http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa252/Apexbutcher/2010-04-24131211.jpg It's an '04 with 30K on the clock, runs straight and true. Came up from Virginia, about an hour south of DC. Mods to follow as time and budget allow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadDawg Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Dunno yet. Researching options now, still not comfortable enough to explore the limits yet, especially not on damp roads. Never owned a stock car for very long, though. At the very least it needs a shifter and a tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianZ06 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Nice toy . I take it being a manual. Modding is endless for these cars. Ask how I know. A nice set of headers and a tune would be a great start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Nice one. My next act will be similar, to get out of the BMW and into a C5 FRC, or Z06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadDawg Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 It is a manual. I would never purchase an automatic Corvette, but that's just me. GM lists the color as "Magnetic Red" with a black leather interior. I paid just over $24K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Very nice! The only CTS worthwhile is the CTS-V. Why didn't you get that to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 My next act will be similar, to get out of the BMW and into a C5 FRC, or Z06. Are FRC's hard to find/expensive relative to no FRC's? Does it make as much sense to buy a Z06 for the price you'd pay for an FRC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spam Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Is that like a base coupe? I know someone who had the 50th and his had the molding down the side and whatnot. I think even another version besides the 50th had it too. How did you get the molding on the corvettes, as in which one had them. I think it really sets the car off with it.

GM lists the color as "Magnetic Red" with a black leather interior. I paid just over $24K. Dont wanna rain on the parade, but for 24k I would have looked for a C5 Z06, or spent a few thousand more on a C6 base model. Are FRC's hard to find/expensive relative to no FRC's? Does it make as much sense to buy a Z06 for the price you'd pay for an FRC? They are definately more rare. They are more desireable, and therefore command a little more $. On ebay they will fetch maybe a few thousand more than a typical coupe. Then a Z06 will be even a few more thousand than a FRC. Basically it goes like this: Z06 > FRC> Coupe/Convertable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Nice pick-up. Mine is in the near future. The only thing keeping from it is the new CTS-V. My plans were to pick up a low mile C6 ZO6 at some point, but now that the newest CTS-V is out, I may wait 2-4 years for one of them. One way or the other I'll have one as the toy.

Billiumss Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Nice car! If you need a tune, I can provide you one at a very reasonable price. Bill Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDawg Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Didn't want Z06, like the targa top. Plus it's a daily driver,the Z06 deserves better. I looked at a few C6's, good ones started at $30K The CTS is the wife's ride, I couldn't talk her into the V with the manual transmission.

My wife never drove stick before, the shiny red caddy motivated her to learn It was a very effective motivational tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
