Default New to me 2000

I just moved up from a 1994 LT1 Corvette to a 2000. The 1994 had problems like the Opti-spark and other mechanical problems to be aware of. Is there a hit list for the C5 I should look out for or upgrade before it gives me grief. Thanks.

Congrats on your new ride! :cheers:

Check to see if your car has the column lock bypass or whether it has yet been serviced by a dealer to "correct" the problem.

Enjoy every mile! Enjoy every smile! Waaaaaaaave! :seeya :flag :chevy

Welcome to the Forum, the best place to be when you can't be driving a Vette! You might want to post with a title something like "New C5 Owner with Questions". Everybody will try to help make your C5 experience even better.
