Congrats - your '91 looked very sharp but I think you'll find the C5 is a nice upgrade. Enjoy the new car.

Was gonna keep my 92, but decided I just didn't NEED two "weekend" cars and should focus on other things. I'm scheduled to pick up my 02 Z06 March 19th!!!
Looks like lots of people upgraded recently.

LOVED that '92 and wish it was still in my garage.
Still, the '04 is a much more capable machine.
ENJOY your new ride, and......
PICS!

Excellent - first off so you know that in the 2004 model you actually have the LS6 Block, not cam and heads "BUT" the block and inards.
Which has better metal than the LS1 block and is more sturdy. You can check the numbers on the block and you will see
There is much more to the 2004 than you'll want to kknow and it is all good,
Your PCM and Fuel Pump are different too - we can explain later (It's all good too)
Thanks,Matt

Welcome to the C5 world. I am sure you will love it.
I have one piece of advice: If your C5 is an M6, make sure it has a Steering Lock Bypass (SLB). GM recalled all affected cars on this problem, but did not fix the issue.
Do a search to find out more about it.
