Default New C5 Vert
Recently sold my 89 Cpe and bought a 2000 Torch red 6sp. I can't believe the difference in performance. I have found the Forum an invaluable source of info on the C5. My thanks to all the members who share their knowledge with the rest of us.

That Red and Peanut butter top looks really nice, this is a rare combo!

Hopefully you will do a few mods to customize your car to your liking!
