So a 2001 C5 6 speed just showed up on my favorite lot run by a friend. Now I too am intrigued. His is a nice 75k miles asking $13,000 but I have a feeling I could get it around 10. That made me look around and I seem some other decent examples within 500 miles for even $8500. My son and I had been looking for a hot rod or musclecar to build, but now I'm thinking a $5000 C5 with a blown motor might be the thing to wait for. Now I don't really care if I could get 35-40mpg but it is interesting. I would rather try and build a 200mph capable car but the aero goals might be similar.
