New Vette Owner
After 8 months or research, shopping, and watching the forum, I finally got my C5. I almost backed out and bought a CTS-V, but after this weekend in my 2003 spiral grey metallic coupe, I can definitely say that I could not be more happy.
Thanks to sponge vette, ja03c5, and all the others who helped me run VINs in my search for the perfect vette. I ended up not getting 3:15 gears, but 2:73 seems fine, and I got 29.1 mpg coming back to the coast with a few 110-115 mph blips on the radar screen.
