I'll wave to ya I was once in your shoes and three years later I found a solution when I turned 17. All that money I saved up I spent it on a vette. now I've been a proud C5 owner for a year and a half.

And welcome The forum is great you will soon become addicted as I have but It pays off to do your homework before modding.

HOLY CRAP, I was talking to one of the nurses at this hospital(fancy eh? then got a computer with a monito that folds out over your head).
He sais he owns a C5 that he bought for $8,000.00!. I asked if there were any problems and that all he needed to do was fix the suspension(roughly 1.5k), and there were no other problems.

What are the basic mods that can get a C5 into the high 12s. I put some borla cat-back on the day I got it. What else is there that will not void the warrantee.

Thanks, Ryan
congrats and welcome to the best forum and drive that baby save the wave
