Hi! Have been a follower of this forum & just put a deposit on a 2001 C5 convertible! I live in Southeastern Pa., just had my 50th High School reunion so decided since I have never had a Corvette it was time!! Should pick it up in 10 days, cannot remember last time I drove a 6 speed so am quite excited!! Great forum. Dave

Thanks! Am doing a lot of reading on the C5 forum for months and have a friend/mechanic with an auto repair business that also owned a C5 recently so he should be a big help! Dave
