I loved the tC while I had it and I had no problems with it whatsoever. (Aside from the inherent rattles). I wish that my new ride has as much build quality as the tC, but it is a GM after all. *Someone actually offered me $18,500 for the tC , so I couldn't pass that up.

With a few parts on order already, I plan to shoot for ~600 rwhp to start with and I'll see how much $$ I have left by the end of the build. I'm starting by building up the drivetrain and I will work my way up to the engine. Doug Rippie will be tuning me up in a few months, too.

So long ScionLife. It was nice getting to know many of you, but the politics of forums such as this have gotten to me. There were a few people on here that I just didn't get along well with (ie tcizzle, scion_jon) and I'm sorry if I acted like a jerk to you at one time or another. No hard feelings.

I'm out!

 

Wow! You got alot back for the tC.
Have fun with the corvette

 

wow, and upgrade to a c5! i'm jealous...and dam you will be missed, and thanks again for the tc emblem! have fun with that beast! don't kill yourself.

 

No problem, Brian.

Take it easy.

 

Damn that's a nice upgrade!

 

Not exactly practical, but I don't mind driving a Matrix around as a DD. Thanks.

 

Nothing wrong with a Vette. It's the ONLY modern American car I'd buy!

 

you should check out tony's corvette shop down here in gaithersburg maryland. best place in the country you can take your vette to.

 

The day a sports car/supercar/exotic becomes 'practical' will be the day I stop driving. I won't worry about it man, that's one hell of a car...

 

I was actually going to stop down there later this month. Cecil Raceway is having a "Corvettes Only Day" and I was going to stop there afterwards. I heard a lot of good things about that shop.

I know. I can't wait to see what this thing will be able to do in 3-4 months.

 

I'll miss you my avatar creator

 

 

good luck with the new car bro....

its a huge upgrade from the tC, and i am suprised you got that much back for it in the first place, congrats on everything.

and honestly, i dont think anyone gets along with s_j

 

Thanks. I couldn't believe it either when my friend was talking about my car and offered that much money! Totally out of the blue. Didn't even try to get me to go lower on the price.

 

hEY MATT DID U FINALLY EVER GET msn>?

 

By the time that I got it, my old computer fried. Now I have a new one, but I didn't bother with MSN yet.

 

well u should grab my add from my profile

 

Will do.

 

my dad has a 95 c4 and an 01 c5, he drives alternates between them every week depending on where he is going and if he feels like driving stick. they are great cars. they are both with the glass hatches so they have pretty good cargo room. now if you have to drive with more than one other person, yeah, it is impractical.

 

Just dont rap yourself around a tree anytime soon.
