Introduction
Hey Guys and Girls !....... I'm new to the board and just picked up my 2001 Vert with 16k on the clock last week. Sold my Porsche 928 to get something that won't break down after every ride and C5 was the answer. She has a P-1SC, 80mm BBK Tb , Corsa exhaust and a crap load of extras like chrome roll hoops and Cray wheels. I look forward to the spring on Long Island when I can enjoy it !

Congratulations! Very nice looking C5 with just the right kind of top! I too sold my long time owned Porsche and then went looking for a C5. Found a nice black vert (the best kind
) and haven't looked back. I can truthfully say I enjoy the C5 more than the Porsche, I'm sure you will soon agree. Good luck with your new baby and best wishes!

Welcome, OP.
SuperCharged C5 Corvettes rock !!! You'll love it, when the weather clears for you.
Almost feel bad for the previous owner who didn't use it enough, to break it in....
So...that now becomes your job.
You win!!!
