Finally, Got My C5, It's An 04 Coupe
Well, thanks for all the support from forum members answering all my questions. I found my C5 about 90 miles away. I was watching this car on autotrader when the price dropped, then dropped again and I picked it up. It's an A4, with lots of toys set up pretty much the way I wanted it. The Spiral Gray was on my short list of colors and the shale interior sets it off pretty nice. The selling points included the tightest ride of all the Vettes I drove. No squeeks, rattles etc just a little wind noise. The tires are nearly new Michelin Pilot run flats. I've got a little work to do like adding the license plate filler and an exhaust plate (both already on order). At first I didn't like the aluminum colored wheels, preferring the polished wheels, but that's beginning to change. For sure, the more I drive it, the more I like it. It's a keeper. Thanks again for all the help and for the future questions I know I'm gonna ask.
One more thing, it's bone stock, I mean it doesn't even have an exhaust plate.

Congratz!!! 
Love that exterior/interior color combination. The shale just makes 'em look very classy!!
Curious, how many miles on the clock?
Congratulations again and it looks like your patience and research paid off big time!!

Congrats from one MSG brother to another! Looks great!
BTW - in case you start matching up interior mods, floormats, etc., I believe the interior color is light gray vs. shale. Shale was only offered on the anniversary and commemorative editions.

I think you're right. I have to check when I return from this business trip.
