Corvette fever!!!
Hi all - I have enjoyed reading this forum - very informative. I bought a 1995 black coupe during xmas and then suddenly I had the wants for a C5. Went and looked at the one today I am buying. 2000, black, with 22K miles for 26,500. The owner has never even driven it in the rain!!! The difference was like night and day between the C4 and C5. It is amazing to me how different the car felt. Just wanted to say hello and thank you guys for helping me decide to get a c5! Thanks

congrats, you'll fall in love with the C5 but be careful mod fever comes next. I got mine in july I think and it has turned into an obsession.
