Buy one. They are great cars, and early cars can routinely be bought for mid to upper $teens. Watch out for the usual stuff like reconstructed cars and ragged out examples. As usual, buy the best car you can afford. I have an 02 Z06 that I bought on 911. I foolishly sold it in 06 when I bought my Viper. I was lucky enough to be able to repurchase the car a year later. My Z06 would be the LAST car that I would sell from my stable. I'd put my GN, GS, and Viper on the street twice over before I lost the Z. I had a 2000 hardtop before the Z, and it was a sweetheart, too, although it had it share of problems. Took the hardtop to Bowling Green, and it knocked down 28mpg on the highway at 80mph. Comfortable, too. Expect 13.20-13.40 out of a coupe with 3.42 gears and 6 gear. Top speed aproaching 170mph. Targa cars will creak and rattle some at the roof junction, even new. Parts are everywhere from oem, to your local parts store, to performance parts. I will caution you that your TR will become a one trick pony if stabled with a good C5. Good luck. Rudy.
