Would like to see one strapped to a chassis dyno! I wouldn't be surprised if the RWHP indicated a FWHP 60-75 over the rated HP.

Not trying to be a jerk, but Y2K rims were not available for the 99 model year. They could be GM rims, but from the pic the spokes look wider than OEM Y2K's

As I said, nice looking C5 though!...

Thanks fellas.

The issue is that they will not open without force.

The cylinder operates as designed.

I didn't know the striker was adjustable, so I'll give that a go!

Storage behind the seats

Hi fellow Vetters,

The middle and battery compartment lids are nearly impossible to open. Are there any known fixes I can do to make opening an closing them with the button easier?

Thanks...
