Default Hi from Scotland
I've had my 2001 C5 Coupe for just over a year now and generally very pleased with it. I bought it with just 31,000 miles and it's in great order. I've had to sort out some age related issues - re solder EBCM, and the HVAC display, plus replace the Steering position sensor - thankfully all quite easy to do. I have 2 other cars with LS motors - a 1950 Morris Minor with a Camaro LS1 and a 53 BelAir with a crate LQ4. Hopefully any issues i find with the vette will have been encountered before and i'm looking forward to checking the forum for answers. Incidentally, my local car club has 6 vettes as members - 2 C3's, a C4, 2 x C5's and a C7.
Cheers,

Pete

Yes, it's a bit quicker than the Corvette due to weight difference.
