Greetings David,
Most of the others have you covered on the questions and comparisons. I'll just say welcome
and good luck in your decision and finding that perfect C5 for you. As EG said, the Corvette is a "community", a lifestyle, much more so than any other automobile in my opinion. Have a good look around the forum and don't be afraid to ask questions. This is the best place on the net for all things Corvette. Enjoy the ride.

love my HUD
I got my 99 vette about 18 moths ago. Replaced my '88 IROC I had been driving for 12 years. I had three requirments: 1 RED, 2 6spd, 3 HUD. And that is exactly what I got. As a bonus I even got active handling. The HUD has kept my out of trouble with the law (knock on wood). My next car will have it. The HUD can be turned off with a click of the switch if not wanted. Somewhere on the forum guys have installed HUDs post production. Seems like deep surgery to me.
In shopping arround and not buying the first vette I fell in love with I ended up with a cleaner car with half the miles (25K instead of 50K) and it only cost about $600 more. I think I did well. Mine is stock and a daily driver. If you are going to modify yours as it sounds like, you are well justified to saving the money and putting it in the mod.
