I've owned a '79 (garage queen) an '85 (bad tranny) a '90 (great car!) and now the '01. Of all the models, the C5 is the best, IMHO. Rides well, and dusts rice rockets with ease.
yeah, I'll own a later model if money drops outta the sky next to me (and I can move outta this county I'm in with high taxes) ...
mine's been in the garage a long time ... my friend has a couple including a '78 Pace Car with low miles ... I'd like to jump on it but now is not the time ...
thought these were Super T-10's, but they are only T-10's as I understand it, and the torgue even from the L-98 is hard on them ... probably explains your '85 ...
