Opinions please....

Id pick up the ta. Its alot more special of a build than the vette. Can always get another c5, they are only getting cheaper.

[RedCandyCoyote]

never seen either one but from what ive read sounds like the trans am sounds way more special and more fun

Pics of the TA Bish!!

[SonofaBish]

Here's what it looked like with the 16" chrome wheels... the new owner put a set of 18" Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's on it, which will really spruce up the look in the wheels department... it will look a lot better with the new wheels, but it was the ultimate sleeper with the old ones







This is before i put the new hood on it, but gives you an idea of what the intercooler looks like peeking out behind the front bumper cover

[RedCandyCoyote]

after seeing the pics I really love the trans am...and they are dying out while the vettes just keep reproducing...trans am got my vote

I think i'd rather go with the TA... but i've gotta get rid of teh corvette first... so we'll see - i'm at the mercy of the "buying public"

I would think about a few things before I decided....

How many miles on the motor and body of each?

Whats the paint like on the T/A?



I dont know how much you could get out of your vette or how much the t/a is going for but I would take the 3 grand or so you saved to get the vette painted and put it into the t/a. If theres certain aspects of the vette you liked then use some of that money for the t/a. I.E. if you liked the seats in the vette, treat the t/a to some race seats etc. etc.

Hope that makes some sense anyways....plus I see probably 4 c5s daily but a TT trans am....NEVER!!!!

The t/a looks in better condition inside also, no offense!

Trans Am! I agree with the others about the T/A being more rare and they are simply just badass looking especially with the ram air hood. IMO vettes are just blah, i bet there fast and fun to drive but theres not alot to look at in the exterior department, they all look the same..

I look at it this way. Re-buying a performance car is like getting back together with an ex girlfriend after she's been around the block a few times.

Yeah - but if she's been hitting the gym and got some new boobies...

[ModularMike]

T/A because it gives me a boner.

T/A because it gives me a boner.

amen

Well, in my FS ad i stated the mileage on the motor adn body of the vette

TA has 81K miles on the body, and less than 10K on the engine/turbos/etc, etc

[SonofaBish]

Someone has to buy the vette first - and i'm not desperate to sell, so i'm not going to take some low-ball offer.... if its meant to work out, someone will find a bada$$ car in the vette, and i can get back into my old car... if not, i won't be dissapointed

[SonofaBish]

I JUST posted interior pics in vette, so ? Eh, either way, they're both in great condition inside... the vette's only downside is that it has all the wiring and hoses under the rear carpet for the nitrous... and that the rear carpet has 2 cuts in it for the roll-cage...

[Killercanary]

I say keep the vette, but I am a little biased now. :)

I remember seeing the pics you posted when you first got it?

But leather wise I meant the t/a seemed a little nicer and plump. Just my .02. No hard feelings here......both are super nice cars.

no worries... T/A's leather has less wrinkles in the leather... that's likely because of how the seats were made... the 'Vette's leather has a much softer feel, and its also a "seat skin"... you can replace the seat covers with fresh ones without buying new seats..... T/A's leather is firmer, not as quality feeling (particularly new) and obviously the seat is the seat... can't easily replace the covering...

I have a few very interested parties in the 'vette... hopefully we can make it happen

[scott5]

really? you really have to ask? COME ON!

[SonofaBish]

welp - i got an offer on the 'Vette yesterday - and got the deposit last night.....

Also made a deal on the T/A... so, she's coming back to Pgh!! Just don't know when... lol.... 'vette should be gone on Sunday, but who knows how long their bank check will take to clear... being that a cashier's check is guaranteed money, if they will let it clear right away, i'll go get the car early next week... If they make me wait, then i'll go pretty much as soon as it has cleared... i get a feeling they're going to make me wait
