Looks great!!! I'm currently in talks on a C5, manual tranny and hope to have it shortly. Love the 6spd!! I'm risking divorce as my wife can't drive a manual (yet) but I just had to have it!! At least if I get divorced I'll have a cool car to drive I haven't pushed a clutch pedal in 20+ years and can't wait! That yellow looks awesome.

Congrats on your Vette. Some famous race car drivers have insisted on yellow cars throughout their careers. Looks like you have a nice example. Cheers!
