I have met the Corvette groups around my local area. As expected, these guys are about 25+ years older than me, majority of the cars are newer models that are stock.

The age isn't the problem, its the attitude. They pretty much scoff at you if you have any mods or like to drive the car with a little bit of throttle. That and these are the type of people who use a Corvette as a social status quo thing. They finally bought a Corvette now that the kids are out of college and whatever else in their life is done so they splurged into the 401K. They are someone now. Me with my 2002 C5Z06, it's over 20 years old and not a "new model" so I'm a peasant. Yes these people think like that and a couple have popped that attitude in person, I'm not that guy to pull that sh*t on.

I wanted mine in that color since I was a senior in high school, came out the year I graduated. The FRC Chassis is sexy, and with light mods these cars are fun..😍
Absolutely agree.

My buddy & I walked through LS Fest this past weekend & there were many C6 & C7 Z06 cars peppered throughout but only a few C5's. Both of us nodded the FR C5-Z06 would be the top late model choice w/the C6 Z or GS as the back-up option (if one had a good background check & was @ the right price). Sebring Silver (w/some black accents) would be my color of choice but that Blue is not far behind.

Yup same way I think. Way too many people under estimate the capability of a C5Z06. They set records that still aren't broken. Mine on scales is 3085lbs with full gas. Full boltons, few other mods and I put a nice aggressive tune in it. It'll move, I've tossed a few C6s and C7s who wanted to try. Haven't ate up a C8 yet, can't get them guys to crack the throttle..

Watched several C8's 'drag race' @ the LS Fest event. It was funny to listen to the guys in the crowd around us dismissing them; saying they were slow & too 'exotic' (not being a 'muscle-car' any more). Yet.... They all won their respective races. Much to be said about the rear/mid engine advantages.

You know what's worse than the existence of this kit? The willingness of people to buy it.
