Bought 2002 Coupe
I have owned a 1986 C4 coupe and a 1998 C5 Coupe.
Saturday I bought a 2002 C5 Coupe with 6700 miles bone stock.Has 7220 now.
It is yellow and black inside.
It has the 1sc package plus perf.axle and polished wheels.
Drove it 520 miles home and ran great and made 26mpg.
I do not know what mods to do first.
I will try to post some pictures later.
Edit:It has one mod!

I had an '87 Coupe that I thoroughly enjoyed. Sold it with 36,000 miles on it to a woman who works at the same place as me. Bought an '02 Coupe that is equipped precisely the way I would have done if I had ordered it.
Love my '02, and I suspect you will love yours, too!
Significant differences in the earlier C4 with the first generation suspension and the C5s. Some aspects of the C4 handling, especially the steering, I prefer. But the C5 is such an improvement in virtually all other aspects.
