I have been thinking about picking up a C5 and was curious if there are any sites telling the differences between the model years and suggestions for things to look for when searching for a new vette. Thanks.

You've come to the right place. Just do a 'search' on this site and you'll find everything you need. I believe that just a few weeks back, someone posted a thread that detailed all of the options available by year for each year of the C5. Good luck with your search. You will love owning a Vette!

A GREAT resource is the Corvette Black Book 1953-2004 by Mike Antonick. Best $16 I have spent yet.

Lookie that, 1 little question and LOTS of quick answers...That's what this forum is all about! You should LOVE your C5, and then you'll spend way too much time here learning more about Vettes and sharing stories about your Corvettin' adventures! When you get your Vette, don't forget to wave!
