C5 Tire Inflator Question
I am thinking about getting an inflator to carry with me in the car. Is the OEM inflator that came with the C5 worth the extra money over after market 12V compressors?

I have thought of this also, as I am in the market for an 03-04 Z06 and would be surprised to receive the original tire inflation kit. They are quite pricey as I recall.
I have found this however...

The only one that came with the C5 was the one that came with the Z06. It retails for about $400. IMHO - go to Walmart and buy a plug and patch kit for around $10 and a Campbell-Hausfield 12v compressor for about $20 and you have almost everything that came with the Z06 kit for 10% of the cost. That's what I did....

That's exactly what I did too and it works just fine.
