Very very nice - although I dont like the Audi-esque DRLs on the front much.

Does the Z51 have the magnetic adjustable ride?

No. Because of the bigger brakes and suspension set up.

By the way I thought your C5 was absolute sex on wheels. If I had 15k in my bank account I would have been knocking on your door!

Good luck with the C6.

Thanks. The C5 was a great car. And the happy new owner has now taken it to his holiday home in Spain.

The DRL's cheapens the look of the car, like an old Peugeot 106 with a chavy bodykit. Get rid of them as fast as possible.

Otherwise, nice car.

Opinion seems to be divided on the add on DRL,s. They came with the car. They are not something i would have contemplated putting on myself. At the moment i'm contemplating have a set of 3 piece rims built by image. And getting the electronic exhaust cut-outs done.

'm surprised you had any camera equipment left after the dust from last year.

I'm still finding it in my camera bag now!

Lights don't do it for me but the car and colour very definitely do!

Picked this up last week.Sold my old C5 and TVR Cerbera to make room for it....

Looks fab Mark

Just curious, but how does it compare to the TVR in terms of speed and driving sensation/enjoyment?

[BLUETHUNDER]

Its just as good if not better.Handling is spot on. Ive given it a good workout on some of the roads i used to take the Cerbera on. Where the Cerb would have had the arse out. The Vette,s like its on rails. By the time the weekends out i would have driven from London to Scotland and back again.:

[robbri]

Looks great mark but would you recommend a C5 over a TVR how do they compare?

[russy01]

Lovely motor not keen on the mods mind.

Bet it sounds fantastic

[i remember]

Awesome mate! what we talking in this about 400 ponys or more like 450?

A standard C5 will be a bit soft compared to a TVR. You would need to go manual and step up to a C5 Z06 to match a TVR for the driver involvement.But whats best of all is maintainance costs. A basic oil and filter change is all you need to do.

420 on this one. Previous owner worked a HP Tuner on it to release a few more bhp. Whats good about the LS unit,is its very adaptable.many owners in the states have easily achieved 650bhp and more for not a huge outlay.
