I also watched a guy embarrass more than a few people at the local sanctioned autox this summer in a.............Prius.
C5 Z06 to clarify. Brakes are cheap, parts available at every auto parts store, and they're fun to drive

I have been tracking the C4 for 4 years now . Almost all of it on the original 140,000 mile motor . Usually in the top 3 overall at Midwestern Council events .
Love the looks I get when passing cars that cost seven times as much . I know of three C4s for sale with all the good stuff already done 6-15 k range .
