Fast C5, how much are you putting to the wheels?

For one, I only have an evo, but I'm still on this forum.

New guys to the forum always assume you have to defend the rx8 to the end. When in reality tons of us hear no longer have the rx8, never had one, etc, but still contribute quality posts and threads.

Hmm... an Evo owner commenting about a Vette on an RX-8 forum.
That's like seeing an oriental person eating a hamburger in Mexico City.

Why do I have the feeling that if I went near this thing with a kid...I'd get sued for kidnapping as the CAR ATE THE FREAKING KID?

Sweet ride, man. That thing is neck breakingly fast.

So would you bitch out a owner for posting a video of a turbo Rx-8 in the quarter mile? Get real, a Vette will hand most cars their *** on a road track too, many costing twice as much.

good point, best bang for the buck as a sports car in the WORLD, has no challengers on value for price, poor GM

umm yeah, C5's handling is better than the RX-8s no question, with brute power available on tap.
Not sure why Corvette's handling ability gets looked past upon, is it because it's "American"?
I know it's crazy to say this, as common as the car is on the road, it truly is one of the most underrated performance machine that can be had (especially used) for great bargains.
