01 and up, brother. ESPECIALLY, coming from an F body. The 1st thing I noticed about my C5 was how much differently it handled than my old F bodies. That Stability Control is no B.S! These cars handle and feel WAAAAY different when they get sideways. You are seated so far back, by the time you realize how sideways you are, you have already turned round on yourself! You learn it after a while, but I still NEVER turn mine off.
Plus you pick up a few ponies with the LS6 intake after 01.
I would had LOVED to had a Z as well. Likewise, could not afford it. I will be stepping up to wither a Z or a 08+ C6 eventually, but untill then, it aint like Im suffering. I love my car. ANY C5 is a step(big) above a 4th gen.
Good luck bro!

Hey guys here is an update on the vette hunt.. i finally found one, but it is in new york!! it is just what i wanted so i am flying up there to pick it up monday the 13th! 2k model with 66k miles.. base model.. said to have no mods, runs excellent! wish me luck! I want to thank everyone who contributed information on this thread which helped me pick the right car for me!
by the way, what is everyone paying for full coverage insurance?
I think you are all gonna be blown away at what i am paying, but maybe you won't... i got full coverage through germania for 60$/month!!!! i am 25 years old! what a deal right?
thanks again to you all!
