Yeah, vette's can be very fast, but nothing will beat the body style of the FD3S , Looks like you had fun.

Wow, never seen shots of them side by side. The C5 really does look as if GM just stretched the FD wider.

If anyone wants higher resolution pics for desktop or something, remove the "-med" characters from the above pictures URLs at the end. They stand for "medium" size

Let the crowd enjoy looking at great set of cars:




I also like this one - something mystical about it:

Lol. Strange that. Taking into account that most of FDs and ofcourse Vettes were sold in the USA

It looks odd to see people still gawking over a C5 now, in those pics.

YAY !

Found a video clip with me against the stronger silver C5:

Some claim this C5 is supercharged and pushing over 500HP. I find it hard to believe. What do you think ?
I'm pushing about 300 at the flywheel at 12psi.

All mods except catback on stock fuel pump and injectors. I think my exhaust is robbing me of my HP and the fact that I get ignition breakup at over 12psi.ž

If i had another 50hp we would most likely be either equal or maybe I could've beat him.

I know. I was poking a little fun at you Europeans.
...and the sheer abundance of Corvettes over here.

Edit:
I didn't mean it personally, or even toward's Eutopeans in general. It's comical how something abundant, and possibly considered mundane in one part of the world, is cherished in another part due to rarity. Hey, we're the same with our limited number of FD's here, too!

Average HP around here would be around 110hp, so you get the picture

Haha... I said "Eutopeans". I meant no offense by that either.
