ummm even non z06 c5 pawns an rsx anyday in every category worth mentioning. Unless your rsx was fully built with some sicky jdm aero parts and wheels, I dont blame you.

I'm not surprised with you getting bored with the Type-S, I hear that alot. In my opinion though, switching to a Chevy Corvette...... I guess it has better spec.s, but as you said, they are already dropping in value, what about in 2 years when you realize you bought a Corvette and want to sell it for a NSX and it's only worth half what you paid, or Chevy goes out like I hope they do and it's worth hardly anything. haha, just havin fun, let us know how the vette is

i dont think its about the value of a car, anyone here would sell their type s and get whatever they want and vettes are just fun cars. v8 cars just respond so much better to even bolt ons as well. but who know maybe in a couple yrs i will be havin a nsx or still have the vette

If Chevy went out of business, that would only increase the value of the car most likely.

S2k! One just sold on s2ki.com... 04 VERY CLEAN with 70K miles for 12000. You can get an S2000 with under 50,000 miles for less than $15000 easy! Plus you still get gas mileage, and a Honda!

C5 is a pretty nice platform. The interior was inspired by Fisher Price though.
