If you think that felt great - wait until you get those Corsas and the Blackwing! It will not only feel great, but will sound great too! 
Happy Spring Dan!

I can hardly wait to get the Corsa exhaust, x-pipe and Blackwing installed. I think it will really perk up my car. It is very exciting to have the snow gone. Our streets still have a lot of left over gravel from sanding the streets during winter, but I'm sure the crews will be out soon. This car is going to make for a great summer! Dan

Dan, It looks like today is a great day for us northerners to get the cars out. Our roads are also so covered with crap that they look like dirt roads. A few years ago I would have accepted it as part of living in the woods. Two years ago our esteemed Highway Super wanted a new toy and bought a big New Holland with sweeper brush and enclosed cab with A/C and Hepa filters. The problem is that he doesn't like getting his toys dirty. How's that for tax dollars at work? Anyway, when I first took the car out I babied it so the car wouldn't get too dusty, but after 2 miles it was covered anyway. Time for plan B. Drive like hell and let the lowered C5 suck the crap off the road and let the wind blow it away. A few more days and our roads should be clean. After my rounds I got her home and washed her up. Looks better than new. Glad to hear that you got her back out,Tom

Hoping to do the same in the next few weeks. The weather is starting to get nice in the Northeast...finally, and all of the rain has washed the salt off of the roads. Glad to hear you are back out.

Know the feeling. Had the top off today. 2 girls in a Sunfire swerved into the other lane as they were honking at me. I actually thought about trading my Vette on a GTO a couple months ago. Saw one on the road today. I still like it, but I might as well keep the Vette. Even an old 98 Coupe looks cool.
