Hello everybody. Just call Mr C5 or C5. I bought my first 2004 C5 Corvette 2 weeks ago. I come from the import world but not with import mind set. When I say import I mean Datsun 240Z and Nissan Z31 to Z33's i have tons of knowledge on those cars and plan on having even more for corvettes. My mind is like a sponge right now on these cars. I'm a very dedicated corvette enthusiast especially after owning one now. I found this group on Google and been reading from it for about a month now. I really enjoy what I see here as a community and glad to be a part of it. As we all share the same passion cars but corvettes in particular no matter the year. If I can help in any way dont be shy to ask.

Mr. C5

I done a lot of thinking before I bought it traffic cruising fun factor. I was scared of automatics service cost wise. I said with a manual just a clutch no big deal🤦‍♂️. So with that said I got the 6 Speed. My automatic bleeder comes tomorrow. So my first real project will be that.
