Default Good to be here, would like info

I too am new to the Forum, I'm looking to purchase a C5 but need to know a little more about them, I will use it regularly, would like to know if there are any drawback to doing so. I don't mind doing routine upkeep, I'm very hands on, I've had street rods for 30 yrs, but have always wanted a vette. Any help is welcome.

Welcome to the forum.. Your question would be better asked in the C5 section, for the best replies..

Welcome to the forum Paul

I think most of us on the forum use our Vettes as daily drivers. They are good on gas and very easy to work on. Try one, you'll love it !!!!

Default Hi from new C5 owner

Welcome to the forum. I purchased my 98 in July. I had a 72' and soldit ten years ago. I was able to fix every little thing that seems to be part of this vintage and fortunately there does not seem to be any major hidden problems. This forum is a good place, especially the C5 tech section. You mentioned that you do your own work so that will be a real plus. Good Luck!
