Re: This is why I sold my Jeep...
This is what mine looked like, although the front air dam was different.

Re: This is why I sold my Jeep...
The ride is comparable to strapping a steel plate to your ***, and having
someone hit it with a sledge hammer. That's what they call performance
handling! lol. The ride on a TJ or XJ os NO WHERE NEAR as stiff a ride as
the vette. And mine is a '95, about half as stiff a suspension as the C4
had when they came out in '84. If I drive over a cigarette butt I CAN FEEL
IT!! hahahaha.
Jim "My Aching ***" Zorin
BTW, the car was originally bought by a 60 year old man who always wanted
one (but waited too long), he drove it very little, kept it garaged, and
decided when he was 67 that he couldn't get in and out of it on his own
anymore, he sold it to the dealership at 20,000 miles. The dealership used
it for a loaner when people brought their newer C5's in for repair. The
dealership put another 10,000 on it before selling it to me. I talked to
the guy (who is now 70) and he misses it, hahahaha too bad. The interior
looks brand new, the body is done, I have the brakes and rotors to do (C5
big brake going on), GM hot cam kit going in (cam & roller rockers $500),
and better flowing exhaust with electric cutouts. Should smoke the ZR1 when
it's finished (like these things are ever "finished").

Re: This is why I sold my Jeep...
I'm still getting used to laying down to drive, world of difference from the
XJ. I'm sure it would take any of the stock '05 Mustangs though. The Vette
has the same HP, more torque, way better suspension, and it's 1000 pounds
lighter (must be the lack of back seats) lol. I'm still a Jeeper at heart
though, I'm keeping my faithful old ZJ and the wife just got a WJ Limited
(wow those things are plush).
