Congrats on the upgrade! You'll find that installing a column lock bypass is much easier, and MUCH cheaper than installing a new opti-spark.

I also went from a C4 to a C5 via a Torch Red 2000. But I had a short bout of DAIN BRAMAGE and picked up a BMW Z4 between my Vettes. Big mistake. The Z4 went back under the Florida Lemon law...and I got the C5 in December .. Very happy camper..but the wife says I still have DAIN BRAMAGE.........

Only one day with it and I am ecstatic. I met a buddy last night at a local ice cream place and he drove his new viper convertible. A couple of people there said they liked both cars but liked the vette much better. His world came crashing down
