I am wondering how much older model C5 convertible vettes are running in your area I am think of maybe purchasing one and maybe get rid of the GTO for one with a 6-speed and the Z-51 suspension option

I have always had a soft spot for C5 vettes, Z06, Z51, base, they are all great. I believe not too long ago I was searching through craigslist in Ca and came up on a 100K mile 6spd C5 frc for something crazy low like 14k. Needless to say that there are alot of standard c5s going for 17-18 now in Ca with 60-80k miles. The convertibles seem to be around 20-22k. I'm still seeing C5Z06s for 25-30k though, man I would love to get my hands on one of those.

Go with a C6! Much better interior and exterior. Not much more than a C5 (~$3-5k). Plus, .3l larger and 50hp more.
