Welcome. You will like it. Not as noisy as a Corvette (inside), and easier entry and exit.

Thanks for the info, In my Z06 I couldn’t take my daughter on rides with me and wife it was a problem. Thanks

I had a Corvette. It WAS noisy (fiberglass body), and it WAS difficult to get in and out of the thing. The 5BW will do everything the Corvette will do, And more. My license tag is “0260N4S”.

I had the same problem getting in and out of it being 6’2” tall, and can’t take my family nowhere together and I love family just the three of us. It was time for it to go and it was a convertible also. Love it but it was time.

I was also 6’ 2”. Only 6’1” now. I am 84. You lose height when you get old (spinal compression). During hard acceleration, the 5BW will push you back in your seat. It’s impressive.

After driving his 5BW a bunch @AACaptRet is now only 5'10"

Not quite, but the acceleration Gs exceed any of the Boeing’s I flew. When you enter the Interstate, it’s a comfort.

laissez le bon temps rouler

Laissez les bons temps rouler

 

[AACaptRet]

Blame Google translate.

 

[Greg5VBlackwing]

The expression Laissez les bons temps rouler is a Cajun French phrase. The phrase is a calque of the English phrase "let the good times roll"; that is a word for word translation of the English phrase into Cajun French.
