Default new C5 owner

I am the proud new owner of a 03 Torch Red Z06! The car is stock except for a few dress up items, Borla exhaust, short shifter, steering column bypass, rotors, and european amber taillights that I do not like The car hit 22k miles after I made the 4 hour drive home. I am not new to the forum, I recently sold my 74 stingray, but I wanted to introduce myself properly in the c5 section. My album has a few photos.

The 74 was a great affordable classic. This thing is a race car.
