What's up guys! I'm new to the forum and recently picked up a Speedway White 2003 50th Anniversary C5 with 19900 miles on it. I made the jump from an Infiniti G35 Coupe and all I can say is "Whoa"!! I've always wanted a Corvette and I couldn't miss out on this chance. I look forward to posting with you old pros and maybe meeting some of you in the future.

Welcome. This forum is the best place for info, opinions, and support. There are a great bunch of guys here willing to help out with
all things C5!

To save yourself a lot of abuse, be sure to use the SEARCH function prior to asking questions. You'll be suprised with how many of your questions (what's "the best" exhaust, how to spend the least for horsepower gains, what wax do you use, winter storage, etc. etc) were already asked and answered.

Enjoy your Vette!!!

PS: Remember that some responses are opinions and not fact..You need to use your own judgement to discern one from the other.
