Can anyone tell me, what are the critical steps to storage of a C5 coupe. Anything special I need to know. I will be keeping it inside on cement with a cover but the building is not heated.

May I suggest the following for a start;

use a battery tender
change your oil and go through one heat cycle (min.)
increase tire pressure to 40 PSI
close openings from rodents (if applicable)
fill tank with fuel, add stablizer

just a few ideas

one other thing I would do is put some di-electric grease on the weatherstripping.

Sheet of plastic on the floor under the car also works well to keep the moisture and dampness away from the vehicle.
