Default Finally joining the C5 ranks!
So after many years of being a diehard corvette fan(and current owner of a very clean 92 6 speed) I will finally be picking up my first c5. The c5 has been my favorite generation since they came out and that still stands true with the c6 and c7 being out there. I pick it up saturday but heres the car!

Very nice looking C5. Only 101,000 miles, so it's just barely broke in.

Now: SuperCharge it!!!

Welcome to C5 world.

Nice car, the price is right if it is well maintained, with good tires. It has 17 front tires 18 rear. Looks like a good car.

FRC is the only way to go for a base c5 and they don't come in silver so pewter is a great compromise! White would be ideal but to rare/$$$

Looks like you scored an aftermarket exhaust in the deal too. That's money in your pocket right off the bat. Congrats from a fellow FRC owner.

Nice lookin' car. Says it's a standard coupe but we all know that's not true. Hope it's a good one for ya. Manual climate control so that will give you less trouble as well. Not real sure what the exhaust is so can't help you there.
