Why would ANYONE let you drive a special Vette such as those? ...or a Vette at all? :nono:

What's the story?

I have friends. :p

Not the first Vette I've driven. My family and friend's families have them.

So far I've driven a:

1968 C3 350/350 4-spd Coupe

1998 C5 Vert

1998 C5 Coupe LPE

1989 C4 Vert

1998 C5 Coupe

By far the most fun to drive was the 68. No power anything except brakes. 4-spd. Side pipes. All numbers matching car with a 350ci 4-bbl fed motor and 350 HP. That car was just so pure. You didn't go fast, but you loved every second driving it. And when you got the secondaries open past 3000 rpm she just sings! :D

The C5's are impressive though just based on mechanical grip and pure speed. They accelerate with such linear pull that you don't realize you're doing 130+ until your hair feels like it's being pulled out. (Vert only. lol)

Given the choice, it'd be hard but I might just take the '68.
