Default Excuse my ignorance,

But at first glance, I thought your ride was a Z06. Upon closer examination, I noticed the removable top. I was under the impression that the Z06 cars only came with solid tops. (that is one reason my wife wanted the regular coupe) Is this a Z06 or is it a regular coupe with some cosmetic mods?

FYI, I am new to the C-5 area, not trying to flame, just learn.

Damn that's a beautiful car!!!

Same colors I'd like to have, inside and out, and the top.

Being totally new to the Corvette realm, is that a rare color to find? I don't seem to see to many of them (but then I've only just started narrowing down what I like).

All I know is that when I started looking for a great car, and was looking at Vipers, I found that the one color I really would have wanted, was only made in one year, and it was an LE.

Have I struck the same issue with this color on a Vette?

Love the way your Vette sits. That SR-71 in the background brings back memories of when my parents were stationed in Okinawa, Japan during the Vietnam War. Great backdrop!!
