First time Vette owner checking in!
I'd been planning on getting myself a Vette in the next couple years, but I have a bad habit of looking around and happened to find this beautiful 97 practically in my backyard. It's an A4 with 110,000 on the clock, but it looks like it's been very well taken care of. Only performance mods that I know of are a Blackwing and a Borla cat-back. These are some pictures the previous owner took, as there's 6 inches of snow on the ground here now.
Just got it home last night, and got it tucked safely away in my garage with my Firebird Formula until probably March or April, but that's probably just going to give me the chance to catch the mod bug with this one too. Spring can't get here soon enough!

Welcome to the C-5 community. The C-5 is a great car to drive, you will love the looks you get also. Can't wait for the spring to drive my vert again. We had 12" of snow today here in Mass

Thanks everybody! The car was originally from Texas, and the paint was done down in Houston, so I'm kinda hoping that I'll find someone who knows the car on here sometime.
Oh they'll hear me coming too, it's about as loud as my Formula was with open headers, it must be Borla's off-road system 
Luckily, a lot of the cops around here are cool and appreciate nice cars.
