Congratulations. Your profile doesn't say where you're located. Where are you from? I've had my vert for just over a year and it's my DD. In fact I drove it in the snow this morning. Welcome to the CF.

I know, need to update my profile! Also, need a more creative username. I'm from Davis CA, not much snow here. Your traction control must get a workout. I have kept my prior car for a DD, but I just can't leave the C5 at home. It's my new DD now.

Congrats, my C5 puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, even when I'm driving it in the snow. Since you have the Z06 sway bar, fork out another $200 and get teh C6 Z06 shocks if you've still got stock ones. You WON'T be dissappointed.

, (caught a cold sleeping too close to the crack one time
) - Just a warning, this Forum IS addictive, and so are mods - mods are little bugs you get, first you get the bug to mod this, then you get the bug to mod that - once that starts, it's a slippery slope w/ no known cure other than to feed your frenzy! Have fun, and enjoy. Also, you can gain a WEALTH of information here, and save some BIG bucks by getting advice here and doing repairs/improvements yourself.

Welcome to the Family!
I bought my 01' Coupe in March and everytime I walk away from her, I have to turn and look, even now. Of course I've gotten tired of the 4spd automatic, but found some 6spd parts, and planning on a H/C upgrade next.
Once you go to the regional meets in your area, that perma-grin you have now, will stretch out of proportions like they do for me. Everyone is like family to me, and I couldn't imagine going back to anything other than a Corvette.
This coming from a guy who's owned all sorts of Rear Wheel Drive imports with turbos and everything you can do to them. The corvettes and their owners, are just a special crowd.

I'll check that out. Not sure if mine are stock. I assume there are C5 Z06 shocks too?

To everyone else who has responded:
Thanks for the outstanding welcoming. Looking at your rides, I don't ever think I've seen a C5 that isn't
