I'm 95% sure I want a C5. I'm just trying to be open to other cars.

Poverty..? What's wrong about a C5? It looks amazing, has the power to back it up unlike most newer cars like the FR-S, with a few simple mods it can make 400whp all day...what's "poverty" about it..? This is a 240sx forum, we're not rich here lol

^If you count all the things you can do with a AWD subaru.. i think all in itself of its practicality would be worthy over a corvette.

Ive had a 2010 wrx and it was a great car, very practical and fun to use. It handled great in any condition. Offroading in it was more fun then drifting imo. I remember winter time we went up to big bear and it was snowing, i only had sport tires and i made it uphill into our cabin with a breeze will the other cars in my group had to chain up to reach the last hundred yards.

You may think vettes are fast but a 350awhp is plenty on the streets, especially the launch. Ive driven vettes a few times and its mean to only go fast.. but kinda have the feeling it was to oversteer out of nowhere to kill me.

Also subie owners are super cool. They acknowledge all other subie owners and thrown the deuces

while this is true how many hoes can you fit in one opposed to the wrx or sti eh? lol IMO the vette kills in everything but its handling around turns...and i have driven one a couple actually... and ive only driven one wrx so i feel a tad biased but i can say after taking them both around some turns the vette seems to have more understeer than the wrx unless you let the rear slide out...dude with 20k why not get a gtr dude... an r32 or r33 come in 4 door and got dat sexy rb motor! xD

funny I saw a bright yellow c6 z06 the other day and guess who was driving it? Well an old guy of course..as stupid as it sounds I most likely won't ever buy a vette just because of this stereotype, I would instantly feel 30 years older just sitting in one.

All the things you can do with awd huh...

Off roading. Fuck yea, lets take our $20k car muddin'!!!

Snow. Yes definitely good for snow. But who said this kid is trying to scale a snowy mountain?

350awhp is plenty?? Thank you for telling us all what we want. Actually I think I will stick to my 600whp 2600lb s13. I must be a true rebel.

And vettes only meant to go fast. I love you dumb fucks coming out of the wood work to tell us what a vette was built for. The shit goes slow the same as any other car. You let off the skinny pedal.

Oh yea, all subaru owners are cool. Every fucking one of them so get a Subaru. God forbid you get a car who's "people" aren't cool.

OP, just go drive a vette and a sti and see which one is for you. If you don't drive in snow or need to carry 4 people then I bet you pick the vette. Not one person here has came with any facts besides myself and maybe one or two others. Just some half witted opinions from children who have never driven either vehicle.

I think you can find a C5 ZO6 for the money you have.

As far as miles goes, these engines can be extremely reliable with care and maintenance. Just as with any car it depends on how the owner took care of it.

I have to chime in here. you are definitely wrong about the differences being slight from a WRX to an STI. Im not going to go into all the differences but I cant definitely say the STI is worth it if you can afford one over a WRX.

Per the original question. I would go with the STI over a Corvette. Corvette is an older persons car and more grown up. If you want a fun, young car. Get the Subaru.

The two cars really do not compare. That STI is an amazingly fun car and for the mods and condition it looks to be in I would say $15K is a fair price on it.

....Actually I bet your single, covered in acne, live in your mom's basement and own nothing worth driving.

I'm pretty sure all 3.8billion females on Earth didn't agree on liking Euro cars.

The typical platinum blonde dumb fucking bitch loves a BMW though. You can bet on that. Go get you a beamer and you can have her.

have you driven a 5.0 or gt mustang? they arent that bad and the styling is pretty cool...if i had to personally choose a newer mustang id take like an 05' though.. they are pretty fun to drive and burn rubber in. the new 13' s look cool but with the right stance a 2005 mustang looks reeeal good.

15k is too much so i agree there...

vettes rock but for some reason id never want to own one... its like one of those dream cars that you finnaly get to own and then the luster of the car vanishes...im weird though im not against american muscle but the way american cars are headed these days arent in my taste.. the mustang and the vette have my hopes going... the challenger looks cool but once again its just to large and bulky for no reason...cept well.

Why are you calling everyone else a moron? Slow your roll buddy.

Its a younger persons car IMO. Nothing my dad would drive. Its certainly not the type of car a typical older gentleman would buy. Not to say some old dudes don't have one, there's always exceptions.

What do you own yourself since you are so high and mighty?

Maybe if you read the thread before jumping in here with your fucking 100th post then you would know.

2003 c5 z06.

I have sr20 s13.

92 honda civic.

What you driving big boi?? Wanna size em up?


It's not about high and mighty. It's about me knowing the facts and not spewing useless opinions.

Didnt know post count mattered. Check out my join date compared to yours if you want to compare something.

Since you asked. Lets size them up.

I drive a 2006 Subaru WRX STI and a 1995 Nissan 240sx with a RB26.

My opinion wasn't useless. Maybe to you it was but it wasn't meant for you in the first place.

And sorry I dont know what a 06 TBSS is.... Quick google search turned up trailblazer SS? Who cares what your girlfriend drives? Should we list what our friends, family, parents, etc drive while we are at it? Wanna compare dicks too to see whos is bigger? Come on dude. Chill out! Its a forum. Dont take it soo seriously. My posts were my opinion. Nothing more.
