Your question is too wide open to answer. Spend a couple of hours on the search function, or just browse posts as much as you have time for. That will generate some more specific things you can ask about. Tons of good support on the forum.
Enjoy the ride, and don't forget the wave!

Welcome to the Forum,
You need to post pictures of your Vette Girlfriend or wife.
Please learn to use the search before you ask about C5 wheels, Opti, long tube headers, favorite synthetic oil, C5 Brakes and anything related to a 15 year old car.
BTW before cross your mind, the C5 is better than C4s

Welcome and congrats on the vette. Did I read it correct that you have 4.10 gears? If so you got an LT-4, since 4:10's don't make sense in an LT-1 A4.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Welcome to the madness. Just because it has low mileage doesn't mean it won't have problems. I perused the excellent records left by the former owner and forum member, Doug Silver and my mint, beautiful 95' has had two fuel pumps, a distributor, trans seal and numerous other things. They all consume parts and moolah, but who cares? You will love your car, like nothing you've ever had (at least in my experience!). Just getting on a freeway on-ramp becomes an adventure. And as CorvetteMike sez, we want pics!
