Well folks, I drove a 6 speed C5 corvette today....and just about bought it on the spot. Although I do love my car, I have to say that driving the vette was the experience that I have been after all along. Although the 3s is very fast, the low end of any 4 cylinder car just cannot compete with this beast.
So, anyone interested in my car? I have about $19,000 invested this last year. Details and pics are in my profile. The 3s is professionally installed and has about 30,000 miles on the engine. Of course, the dealer won't give me what it is worth so I am putting it out there. Entertaining offers. Please PM.

definitely keep us posted, have fun with it. wait for a nice used C6, thats what im doing. the C6 blows away the C5.
jgreening... we always want what we cant have. sure the vette is a nice and fast car, but once you get that, youll want something faster.
disable fuel cut, and crank up the boost to 15 and go for a ride. youll then you will realize how much potential the 3sgte swap has. the other cool thing is the sleeper factor. no one every expects the celica to be a fast car, especially a convertable one.
15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
glad to hear that you are keeping her. Yours was the vert that all us other verts look up to. Maybe next summer if im back in chicago ill be able to see it in person.
Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
Just let me know Orville - by that time I will be making over 300hp to the wheels....
