I went from a 1991 Steel Blue Metallic coupe to a 2002 Z06. That was a great move. Enjoy your 2004. It is a great car.

That's a pretty good jump, I went from a 01 cobra mustang to a 01 c5 boy was that a leap. You will fall in love with this car no doubt.

You're better off asking questions as they arise because there's too many to go through.

The C4 is an great machine! The C5 is a truly quantum leap into the world class sportscar world! Congrats and ask away question wise. Most of the C5 guys will be more than happy to teach you what they know and they know a lot! I know because because they have taught me a ton!

93 C4 Coupe to 01 C5 Vert!

You are going to love it. There's a link here somewhere to get an owner's manual in PDF form. I'll look around.

What other goodies did it have? Is it auto or manual?

Pictures...

Here's a link to an '02 Z06 owner's videos. Most of it is applicable to the non-Z06. Scroll down about half way on the page to the video's. You should be able to right click and save the files to your system and have a copy. 2002 Z06 Owners Video

Congrats on your C5! I've got a 2001 Coupe and still have my 1993 Coupe. Totally different cars. I love them both. Biggest difference is that you sit in a C5, but you wear a C4.
