Congrats and welcome to the C5 section.

I, too, had a 96 CE coupe prior to upgrading to an '02 roadster with a six speed back in 2004.

I must admit that sometimes I do miss my CE but not often! I just hop in the roadster and catch a case of perma-grin all over again.

Welcome. I also graduated from a C4... loved it! But there is no comparison with the C5.
