Hello from Illinois
HI all, I just came over from the C4 forum I have a 94 and just bought a pristine black 98 with 34k on the clock, a show room condition Vette. I am finding the comfort level much better in the C5...

Hello! Congrats on your low mileage find! As an previous gen vettes owner I too find the C5 a much nicer car all the way around, and the performance car bargain of the century to boot! Good luck with your new old baby and best wishes!

Congratulations on the low mileage find. Seems like there's plenty out there to choose from. My '02 is approaching 105k, and still looks & runs great, so here's to plenty of enjoyable miles ahead for you.

My Nephew just purchased a black 2004 with 14,000 miles on the clock and it still has that new car smell. He is really enjoying his new ride also.
Many miles of smiles to you

Hi from Maryland. I just bought a C5 as well. I had driven only C4s previous. I find the comfort level in both to be very comparable. I have plenty of room and I'm a fairly big guy at 6'3 and 215lbs. Have fun in the new hot rod.

Congrats on the upgrade to a C5. The C4 is often thought of as too plain Jane. I have a C6 myself. Also, just moved away from the Socialist Republic of Illinois.
