I know it my seem stupid that I would ask a question like this but but yall have to consider some things, I'm in highschool , do'nt have money to be fixing up a car all the time I want a 2 door and speed. The c5 is a "00" liftback 24,000 miles black, and the FD is a gray , nice body kit and wheels but no performance mods. Any sugg. would be great.

i'd choose the FD cause the c5 will be obsolete soon to the c6 (just kidding about the obsoleteness?

Performance wise the C5 is faster though right, and more reliable but there definetly not as good looking as the FD.
