I'm a little prejudiced, but I think you just bought one of the best c5's out there. Congrats! Go to www.z16.org to learn all about the striped beast.

Congrats and welcome to stripesville.
Basically you can link them using a img or url tag from a photo share site such as Photobucket. This link should help you out.

I own one and I HATE IT!

I hate to leave it in the garage....................

I hate the way I get stares when driving it!

I hate it that I get such great gas mileage I don't get to stop at gas stations and talk amongst the admirers as much as one would like.

I hate dragging these huge trophies home from car shows in such a small trunk!

I hate how everyone thinks I am a famous race car driver when I get out of it.

I hate having to sign autographs for Ron Fellows when asked.

I hate the way young kids come up to me and ask me for a ride without even offering to pay for gas!

I hate the way the a/c cools this RACE CAR ...........give me the old Cobra with the side pipes and no top on black vinyl in 100 degree heat!

I hate how this active handling thing jumps in and rescues you from stupid maneuvers when you run out of talent.

I hate hearing the tires squeal when I shift..........what a waste of rubber!

I hate the exhaust note and the attention it brings from onlookers.

I hate being able to hear the exhaust and engine over the cheap Bose stereo and my Judy Garland CD when I am in a hurry

I hate the responsibilty of ownership having to wash it and wax it and detail it and drive it and wash it and wax it and detail it and ......

This is just a small list of the things I hate about my Z16. But don't let me stop you from buying one..............I'm a negative kind of person!

Good luck if you buy one............everyone is allowed to be stupid.........it's the law. Some are just dummer than others!

Caveat Emptor.........that's the only way I know how to say good luck in spanish.

I was sorely tempted to trade my 2001 vert for a Z16 when they came out.

As suggested above, go to z16.org and click on every link in the navigation box. You'll learn all about your special car. Register your car on that site. I have #1961 of the 2,025 built. Here's some stuff to read from www.z16.org ...

Is yours a real Z16 or a clone? It's always under a car cover.

I absolutely love my Z16, #1916.

The car never fails to heads when ever I drive it.

Wait until the mod bug bites and you'll love the car even more.

Make sure you get in the registry at www.z16.org

The Z16 always draws looks.
I get the best laughs when little boys stop in mid stride and point, they are always saying somthing like " dad look at the race car".
Not the best choice in cars if your in the witness protection program.
