Hello everyone. I ordered a 2005 Vert last month and cancelled my order two weeks ago due to production delays but primarily I began to like the C5 due to its style and sleek graceful lines. I purchased my first vette, a navy blue 2001 vert. The color is similar to what I originally ordered which was a LMB. Happy holidays and all the best to all for 2005!

Congratulations Jun! I agree with you, I think the C5 is the best looking Vette ever.

Welcome to the forum. While I would have had to think twice about cancelling an order for a C6, there is nothing wrong with getting a C5 instead. I think you will really like the car and with the money you saved, you can do all sorts of mods.
