I too was a former C4 owner and purchased my C5 a few months ago.
Welcome, and this forum is really neat.
I have learned so much from just searching and reading posts here. The members are really helpful.
I enjoy the bickering too. The moderators put up with some but will shut it down pretty quick!
Good luck with your new toy!

Man, another low mileage C5. It really is amazing how many cars that were rarely driven are still out there.

Welcome man! I’m a new owner as well. Let me just say this place is a wealth of knowledge and has helped me get to know my C5 and all the little nuances so much better than I did before owning one!
Now let’s see her! XD

And you are the lucky one that benefits from it. You have yourself a new 15 year old Corvette.
