I pick it up on friday night and i can't wait. Road tested the car today with my mechanic and what a rush it was. And thanks to this forum i knew exactly what i was looking for.

I envy you
I am fortunate to be getting one in early to mid November. Enjoy! It will be a looong seven to eight weeks, but well worth the wait. Getting a magnetic red 2000 hatchback, some mods, well done.

Awesome!
Congrats! I just got my 01 C5 M6 black/black 2 months ago and I couldn't be happier. Well, except that I want heads/cam already, but that's not the car's fault.
