Hello C5 Community
Yesterday, I traded my '96 CE cp for a Victory Red '04 cp. Going from an A4 300hp to a M6 350hp vette made driving even more enjoyable! The ride quality is outstanding. I learned a lot from the C4 guys, and expect to do the same from you.
I'll be checking in every day.

Congrats and welcome! I'm kind of in the same boat as I went from this:[IMG]

To this:
2004 CE Z16
I learned a lot in the C4 section too, but trust me, there are some great folks on the C5 side of the house. Post some pics when you get a chance! B

Welcome and congratulations on the upgrade!
The C5 Corvette is quite an automobile which was completely redesigned from the bottom up.
When you get a chance post some photos, we'd like to see it..
Good luck and welcome...

Congrats, you're going to luv the C5.
I don't think victory red came until the '05 C6 so it may be torch red.
I did about the same, traded my '93 coupe for the my '01 vert.

Welcome to the dark side.
On April 1 of 2006, I traded my 96 A4 coupe for and 03 MN6 coupe. Definately a much more enjoyable drive.

Congrats on your new car.

Wow! I've always liked the Polo Green/Tan leather combo on C4s...
