I'm looking for a second 'fun' car. The budget is around 15-17k. I figured why not test a c5? I found one, 98 in mint condition with a couple mods (intake/exhaust). I was not impressed... at all.
Part of the problem is that I'm used to sportbikes. My last fun car was an 88 stang with 600 wheel horse power that ran low 11's. So this car just felt SLOOOOW. I was also a little let down by the interior. There's tons of gimicky features but the leather is crap, everything is cheap plastic. I guess thats the tradeoff though. I will say the car turns amazingly, gets great gas mileage, and has a terrific shift gate.
Help me pick something fast and fun to drive for under 20k that's not going to blow up. I'm still leaning toward a stock c5 with low miles then adding a blower for that extra kick. I'm thinking a cobra might be cool (2003) but I'm not sure about their reliability and I hear they suck at shifting. What else should I be looking at???
