just got my first C5!!!
As the title says I am now a proud owner of a 6speed 98 white coupe...and I can't seem to stop smiling ever since driving it home sunday! I said that I was going to leave it stock, but today find
myself wondering which exhaust, intake, gears, wheels, ect. I want to put on it.
Oh well, can somebody pleasegive me some names of a few corvette shops that offer sales and service..that stand out above the rest in terms of prices and attitude?
Well, just wanted to say hi and if you see a guy in a white coupe roll by you waving like a lunitic it's prolly me!
I passed 3 C5's on the way back home from TX and 2 of them waved back!

Congrats! Let the mods begin. I don't know your location, so can't recommend a good shop. Next Level Performance (Norris Motorsports) in FLA did all our work.

Now, go fix your seat, fuel gauge and column lock. Then you can start modifying it!
Oh, and don't forget to latch your top or you too can become a member of the famous Flying Roof Club!

Congrats and welcome.
It's hard to suggests service places not knowing where you are, though.
