Luckily (for me) I am the type who prefers a non-modded, and as-from-the-factory Vette as I can get. Nothing is cheap for these cars.

And welcome to the forum.

Congrats on the new car & welcome to the best Vette site on the net !!

Check the C5 Parts for Sale section here on the forum it's a great source of parts at great savings - i personally have bought many parts from this area and had absolutely no problems - there are currently 2 Corsa Extreme systems for sale

I have a Corsa system too and absolutely love it !!

From one Hoosier to another, welcome, and don't forget to wave. Did you take the C 3 out to NJ to pick up your C 5? Sounds like a good road trip.

Yes, took the C3 to pick up the C5! It was an awesome road trip except the C3 got rained on hard and lost 3 center caps, but that's expected from the C3 guys!
