Yes, called twice and left messages, and also sent two e-mails no response back on either. Glad to see someone on here got it. Is it as good in person as what the pictures were? Congrats again on the purchase..

Of course I think you got the best color there is for a Corvette. You are going to love the C-5. It is a great car.

This is why when I started to look for a Vette, I crossed off the C4. Friend of mine has one, and he can barely get in and out of that thing!

Once you have your C5 for a while you won't miss your C4...I went from a 95 to a 99 and didn't miss my C4 one bit(with this car you can actually enjoy the ride with the roof off, not with a C4..

Great looking car!! I especially like the wheels......they're just like mine -- lol! In case you're interested, you can find Corvette logo black center caps on Ebay to replace the Cray logo caps that came with the wheels. Congrats !!
