Introduction
Delurked and registered now that I'm finally in a 'Vette.
I'm in Kansas City and have been obsessing about getting a C5 for a couple of years. Most of my car years have been spent with several Datsun/Nissan Z cars and I still own a '75 280Z. A year ago I was on the fence between 350Z and C5. The new Z won the battle, but lost the war. Doesn't everybody have to learn about new car depreciation at least once? My 'Vette soothes the pain.
Anywho, hello and thanks for letting me lurk for research.

Howdy and welcome...
I used to have a 72 240Z -- that was a sweet and simple car, and even with 200K miles on it that little 6 was smooth. I love my C5, but the Datsun was the right car at the right time in my life.
Enjoy the Vette!
