Hey Guys (and girls) i just purchased a beautifull 2004 Black on Black C5.
What a car,but you allready know that!I allways wanted to own a Vette,and now finally i do!

Just before i got my Vette i got rid off my 2003 SALEEN s-281 NA.
It was a nice car,i got a lot of attention with it,and a lot of people wanted to race me,but reliability and handling just plain sucked!

The Vette is a whole different story,what a handling!very nice.....

I allready went to my local perf. shop and had my new mufflers installed,i will take pictures soon,but trust me these are very beautifull tips.....

Anyhow to make the long story short,i got a Vette,i love it and that's it!

Guys be safe and drive carefull!

BTW!
This last weekend,i think it was Saturday after noon,i was driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu and saw at least like ten C5's coming from my oposite direction,maybe it was a few of you guys from this forum?

Take Care!

That's crazy. I sold my 2000 Cobra R, and now drive a 2000 Vette, once I pick it up in St. Louis on Monday. Welcome to the other side haha.
