Default Finally a C5 owner! (pics)

Hello! I've always enjoyed fun manual cars. 98 3000GT, 07 S/C Mustang GT, 16 ND Miata, 15 Dart turbo, 15 Fiat 500 Abarth, then a couple monthe ago I traded my 16 Fiesta ST in for this 2004 C5 base manual. It came all stock except for the dual cone intake. So far I've added the corsa sport exhaust and z06 wheels... I doubt I'll need to supercharge it.

I was previously wanting an LS3 06-08 C6 or C5 z06 but prices seemed to have gone up and I couldn't pass the trade up!!

A big congratulations. I love C5s and the EB is a really cool color. Hope you get some good cruises in during beautiful fall weather! Most excellent!
P.S. I had Corsas on my C5 and loved them. It was the exact sound that I was looking for.

thank you all! I'm glad to see the c5 section still active! some platforms Online community fade away after 5-10 years of production ending.
