Default Best C5 Evolutional Summaries - Where?

I have begun looking at C5's gaining information - which obviously lands me at this wonderful spot. THANKS ALL - the place is rock solid. I have several modded motorcycles that I am considering trading/ migrating a few for a Corvette. (Can only ride 1 at a time.)

I'm wondering what is a good place (or best place) is to understand what changes were made and available during the C5 years.

As I become more serious about purchasing my 2nd Corvette - I keep migrating newer and newer. If this continues to occur - I'll have plenty of time to do my research because of the cost curve I keep moving up. I can't climb the C6 Curve at this point in my life.

Therefore, my goal is to understand what tradeoff's I am willing to best afford. Please feel free to suggest any reference materials (books, websites, threads, friends, clubs, etc. (I live NE of St Louis)). Thank you for any assistance!

Thanks
I get more compliments on the color than anything else. I actually have little old ladies come over to compliment it.
Now I need to earn my 10 second slip that this car is capable of. Driver needs some work.
Spiral Grey rules!!
