Just my $0.02, Ed

Dude lay off the crack. Corvette, Chevy 1500, Cadillac Escalade, Malibu,
etc are secure. They need to quit selling the crap. Hummers. Monte
Carlos. GTO. Etc.

In your opinion, what was the BEST model year 'Vette?

2004 C5 Z06 was the best IMHO.

The best combination of handling and performance.

Tons of aftermarket parts to tweak the engine.

Good GM/Bad GM

It seems pretty simple to me.

Sell Chevy trucks, Malibus, and a compact. Corvettes. Cadillacs.
