Congrats...I also own a C5 along with a C3. They are both great cars but the fun factor is way higher in the C3.

Congrats on the new purchase. I'm thinking C5 and am going to do it just like you, the C3 will stay and I'll add a C5. Good move.

I also have a C5 and it is a great "turn-key" car. If you seen some of my threads I've been struggling with a 78 BB build for the last year, but with the help of the forum we're almost there. The C3 has taken my mind and budget away from trying to mod the C5!!!

I have a C5 as well. Awesome car but doesn't have the curb appeal of my '69. Although the '01 does turn some heads with the blower starts whining but it's kinda hard to notice when you are going by so fast.

yup i figured you adopted a dog or a cat....so i skipped right over it.... any way those cars are awsome....i took one out that was a convertible with a heads up display and was amazed how it just wanted to run at the higher speeds....i can see why the heads up displays are so important.... good luck..
