Hello group,
I just purchased my first vette. It is an '04 convertible. Arctic white, with black interior, black top, automatic, HUD, 12 disc CD, power memory seats, chrome wheels. 38K miles. I've been a car guy all my life. I looked at the C6 but actually like the C5 better, plus the trunk is a little bigger for the golf clubs. I don't plan to do any heavy modifications since I also have a 68 firebird convertible with a 462/5 speed Tremec. I have nothing to offer as far as owning one of these but will lurk and look at easy modifications or upgrades that make owning the car even more pleasurable. Looking forward to the group interactions. We are in Socal.
