My First Vette!
Just got my first vette last night with my dad...
I traded in my '05 V6 Mustang for an '03 Spiral Grey Vette fully loaded!
First 6-speed too so I am extremely excited to learn!
I look forward to gaining a lot through these boards and can't wait to learn everything I can...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on getting a C5. You'll find it is a much different car than the Mustang.

Holy Smokes! Learning a 6-sd! Awesome! Now you might not ever want to go back to an automatic! Also, congratulations to you, and, welcome to the CF C5 family! Sure sounds like you found yourself a real winner. Enjoy!

Good luck with the car
Hi
I know how you feel, I picked up my C5 2 weeks ago. Already looking to do some modifications but not too many. Looking into the Tiger Shark hood and rear facia.
Good luck with it.
