I wish they had kept the C5 and upgraded it in '05 with the LS2 and some interior refinements and gradually refined the whole car LITTLE BY LITTLE into some kind of ultimate Corvette......ah, now that would be heaven!

Its not to to hard to tell what year vette a car is. The key is to know when different colors came out. For example yellow is 2000 up and Spiral Grey is 03 or 04

You know I have had my 01 Vert for 5 months before I noticed there were no locks on the passenger side handle.

And I wash and polish it at least once a week (more if I have a show)
