Hey guys, , I bought a 1 owner 43000 mile 2004 commemorative edition for 20k. It has HUD 12 disc changer sports seats and both tops. Already had blackwing filter, heads and cam, long tube headers x pipe and judging by the volume a Corsa Exteme catback. Also has new slotted cross drilled rotors, and painted calipers, chrome wheels and new Bridgestone 760's. Had a check engine light on when I bought it, pulled the codes and got 02 sensors and random misfires. Pretty sure I could get rid of them with a tune. Went to Carolina Performance and Dyno in N. Wilksboro NC for the tune, First pull was 350hp and 350 torque. Last pull was 422hp and 405 for torque and no more check engine light. Very happy with that. Oh yeah its auto with 3.15 rear

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your C5! 
Also from Hickory, so I imagine our paths will cross along the way (and when things open up more).
