Oh quit it.....It's not like you haven't bought about a half dozen Modded C5's all ready, although this one is your first Supercharged one.

BTW guys/gals....This is one fine C5 as seen in person. Lou and I spent the day at a local carshow yesterday. It's a fantastic C5.

Flames are tastefully done, pretty cool.
Don't like the silver trim on the wheels, and the white lettering on the tires is... I'll just say I'd change that immediately (then the wheels).
