New C5 Owner
I am a new owner having purchased a 1997 C5 Coupe recently. I have found a wealth of information on this forum that is very helpful to new owners. So far my only upgrade was changing over to GM Performance Brakes. I plan to update the sway bars shortly. You will probably not see me posting very often but I am always lurking looking for information and ideas. Looking forward to gaining knowledge on my latest toy.
