Default A future c5 owner !

First of all, thanks to all the threads of this forum fullfilled of good advices etc.
So this is it, after years, my dream will come true tomorrow ! I will go and buy my black C5 corvette. It is a 2004, M6 fully loaded obviously and equipped with a borla catback exhaust.
Can't wait to be on the road already.
To be continued ...

Congrats on the purchase. I just got my '01 vert 2 months ago and love it. Watch out for the mod bug. It bites hard.
