Back in the Saddle ...
Purchased my third C5 off the forum and so far I'm 3/3 !
Flew to Grand Rapids and was met by (minitech). The car was exactly as he said it was, and I could not be happier. Its a 2000 Torch Red Coupe with a nice list of Mods. After almost purchasing a C6, I realized the C5 suited me better. The eleven hour drive home was surprisingly pleasant.
Current Mods:
Kooks Longtube Headers
Magnaflow Exhaust
FAST Intake
4:10 Gears
Z06 Sways/Shocks
HID Headlights
Pioneer in-dash Navigation/DVD
LED gauges/interior lighting
Heated Seats
I know I am forgetting some mods, but thats the basics.
On order:
18 & 19" Black C6 Motorsport Wheels (Deep Dish)
9 Piece Blackout Kit
Borla Straight Pipes
Thanks again to minitech for making the transaction as smooth as possible.
Heres an exterior shot, and one of the in-dash Nav that looks extremely tasteful. Don't flame me, the cars a bit dirty from the 700 mile drive home (In March)

Nice find, congrats! 
How were the LT headers on the highway? I'm considering those along with the 4.10 gears as well, curious as to how they were compared to a fairly stock setup sans aftermarket intake & mild exhaust.
