I am Back!!
Hi All,
Well it's been about three years since I had a vette in the garage but just called my dealer and finalized on a 2004 magnetic red vert with Borla/cold air/and Z1 pack. Drove it yesterday and fell in love. Gang this is one of the nicest C5s I have seen for a long time and I am nothing short of thrilled. Yea I know post is no good without pics but I have not picked it up yet - later today
It has the beige top and a color matching vette plate between the borla pipes (two). As all of you would expect have already started the plans for the minor mods like a cup holder that actually works and a set of roll tubes etc etc. Feels good to be back in the seat!!

Thanks for the replies ya'll Sorry for the typo in the original post it said Z1 and I am sure you all know that was supposed to read Z51 package. Promise I will get some pics as soon as I can. This is my 4th vette and the thrill has not disappeared.

Congratulations on your"new" Vette.
Like you, I have the same year, and same color.
My original color choice when I was considering a purchase was mill yellow, but finding one with auto trans was difficult, so when this mag red convt showed up, I couldn't wait to buy it.
Really glad I did.
I know for sure you will be happy with the color.
I sure am.
