The C5 with Z51 already comes with a transmission cooler.

Mine didn't. PS cooler yes, trans and engine oil, no.
Ah, yes. You're right. I was thinking power steering, said transmission. :crazy:

BTW, Mervz, are all of these things you listed options? Or are some features, and some options?

Particularly, I'm asking about the headlights.

BTW, my dad is a yellow fanatic and won't buy a vette unless it's available in yellow. Any news on that color?

Some are options, the headlights are standard. :)

Damn - orange and NAV/XM, 400 +- hp. I was going to wait for the Z06, maybe I'll get a 2005 and then trade up to a Z06 the following year.

Hi Mervz,

If you have any thoughts here, I'd love to hear `em:

Is the base engine called the LS-2?
Is the manual transmission a Tremec T-56?
Is the base AT a 4L65-E?
What is the designation of the Goodyear tires?
Are there any engine options?
Are there any transmission options?
Is the rear hatch polycarbonate?
Is there a magnesium wheel option?
Is there a cloth seat option or are they all going to be leather?
Is there a next-Gen Active handling being used?
Is the hood carbon fiber - even as an option?
Is the exhaust made of titanium?

What does the base car weigh?

Will I be able to afford this thing?

Does MSRC appear as an option or is it something that does not appear on the option list because it is standard?
