ohh what to doooo
well ive got the TA, love it to death, its loud, fast, fun and you dont see em at all around here, however in an effort to retain some value, i try not to drive it around for no reason, hence the 64k miles.
ive got the 3rd gen, havent driven it in a few months, its my baby and ill never sell it, awaiting a 350 to be swapped in, and a quick ratio steering box and its prob guna need a master cylinder, needs the hood painted as well.
now since i got full time at my job ive just been dumping paychecks straight into the bank, saving for a C5, looking at 99-01's since they're in the price range i wanna spend, i dont want some pristine vette that ill feel bad driving so looking in the 50k-70k mile range, so i can drive the piss outa it and not care about keeping the miles down, also id prefer the basic intake/exhaust mods already done so i dont have to be bothered. color... anything but pewter lol.
nowww hopefuly the 3rd gen will get finished up this winter, some how gotta get an inspection sticker! and ill be able to drive that again.... im in no rush to get the vette due to my love for the TA and i wanna find the perfect one.
soo would u sell your TA for a C5?? ive always wanted a vette, and almost have the cash to do so.....

If you can swing it, I say hold onto the T/A for now, start shopping for the 'vette, and pick one up while prices are down. Come springtime, prices will be up. You will also be able to sell the T/A for a little more money come springtime.

Sell the T/A. A vette is that much nicer of a car.

I'd rather have the corvette. Stay away from the jacket wearing clubs though. I've wanted a C5 for a while but don't have the funds for something like that.

This makes even more sense.
If you were to sell the T/A you would probably have enough cash to play around with so that you could wait for a good deal and get exactly what you want.
I know its extremely hard to wait around and find the right toy but patience would be the key. Would probably be best to focus on that third gen and get it right before anything
