I too made the switch about a year and a half ago, '95 to an '04. Sold the '95 to a guy who has her as his retirement toy so I know she has a good home. Lotta money and TLC in her, I see her arround town occasionaly. She still makes me smile.
My C5 is a blast and a very different car. Now that I've got enough mods to run with my old C4 my affection for the C5 is growing!
Hope you enjoy your C5!

about 5 years ago we had bought an 87 torch red coupe @ the carlisle show; owned it for about 18 mos & sold it & made $2k on what we paid (we got very lucky); about 4 wks ago we picked up a silver 2000 coupe. this is personal opinion but the c5 is a better car in every way. bub

I started with C3, went to C4, back to C3, and now C5. The C5 is one hell of a machine in every respect, a true pleasure to drive ! However, I really do miss my big block 73, there will be another one someday.......

Congrats. You'll notice the C5 is much easier enter/exit the car, the controls are better placed, and the ride is much better, plus the power difference is amazing. Enjoy the car.

Welcome!!!! The C5 ride is hard to beat but I love our C4, both are really nice cars to drive. My wife's C4 only has 27,000 miles on it now so it is still like new. If it has Corvette across the back of it you can't got wrong
