Hello Everybody
I usually hang out in the C4 section, but since I'm thinking about picking up a C5 I thought I would stop by from time to time to see what I can learn (if you guy's/gal's don't mind), so you might see me involved in some of your post if that's ok.

You'll love the C5 if you haven't driven one yet there's a big difference in the ride and handling.

Welcome! Now is certainly the time to p/u a nice low mileage C5. I don't think you'll see prices much lower.
Good Luck

Welcome Alcee! You'll find that we are a friendly bunch (most of the time!
) and anxious to answer questions. In the mean time, you might want to check out this thread, which will tell you everything you wanted to know and didn't want to know about the C5.
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=984927
You've been around on the CF for a while, so you know that there are no stupid questions (some stupid answers though!
)
BTW - love your wheels!

Many of us made the transition from the C4 to C5's.
