I think I'll get me one of the C5R stoplight lens covers and put on my 98 !!! NOT ! However, I think that actually looks pretty nice. Wonder if they make that same lens cover with just C5 on it?

ok. I get it. I paid 16,900 for it. 86252 miles. When I started looking for C5R all I could find was the big race models. I thought this might have been a factory prototype or something. Would have bought the car anyway. I wanted an American sports car for my son, and he liked this one. Nice to have some experts around to verify things. Thank you. Now I can quit looking for more info on it.

Actually doctorgrm, that is a fine looking 98. Love my 98 as well. You've got lots of mods and updates. I personally wouldn't have done all of them, but your car looks great. Both you and your son should enjoy it. C5's are already a classic IMHO.

Looks like ACP (Advanced Composite Products) hood and side skirts, along with ACI (American Custom Industries) front and rear spoilers.

This is my son's car - great car. This is my son's car. It is a C5R, but I can't seem to find anything about the model. It seems pretty unique. Would love to find out more about it. The C5R is listed as a special race car, but this seems to be a custom show car.

I lived in Annapolis for ten year over by Harness Creek Rd on the South River. I left when traffic got really bad and we wanted to get the kids back to the Fairfax County school system.

I've had my share of ASShats, Asscaps, Asswipe, Assbreaths and assheads, over the years, I just don't feel this guy is one of them, but then remember, I am Old and feeble now. Just a hollow shell of my former self . A virtual spineless jelly fish...

Apparently in CF you have to be prepared now to shoot someone who disparages a C5.
