Default Much fun today.........

I have been a C3 guy for 2 years but just sold my 72 and bought a 99
M6 C5 today. The car is so tight and awesome to drive. I live outside of Philly and picked it up in DC today so I got a good run in. Anyway I've been searching your forum and look forward to hanging over here.

C3's are what Vettes look like to me! The C5 is what Vettes feel like, and it only gets better! Welcome to the C5 fray! I'll add a C6 someday, but my C5 is here to stay!


oops, Vette poet and didn't know it!

Welcome to the insanity. Congrats on the new ride. Amazing what a few years of technology can do. Friend of mine had a white 72 like yours and I spent some seat time in it. Great looking cars.

a BIG TIME WELCOME TO YOU!

I still remember my first drive in the C5 - With the LS1's all it takes is a couple of parts thrown at it and you'll be at 350 RWHP in no time!

Let us know when you are ready to mod it

Thanks,Matt
