Very nice. My c5 is one of my favorite cars I've driven.

Curious to your thoughts coming from a 3v. I had a blown 3v before my c5, but not back to back.

My 3v was pretty much stock so in the power department there is no comparison. The 3v's handling cant even be compared, the steering on the c5 is much more direct and precise. C5's Suspension is better in every way IMO. It is a nicer ride but it has no body roll. The interior is about the same, both cheap plastics, I might give that category to the 3v because it is newer and has more appealing gauges/dash. The C5 is more comfortable to drive because the suspension is smoother, seats are more comfortable, and the gears are so long that you don't have to worry about shifting like a madman just to take off from a red light. It is a PITA to get in and out of however. Overall, I think the C5 is the much better car, but I guess it all depends on your needs and wants. Don't get me wrong, I liked my 3v but I am glad I upgraded.

Very nice, I love EB. And I love the look of those headers in the engine bay, I think that is my next step.

They do suck to get in and out of. Especially since I have out on some weight lol

The C5 really comes to life with some subtle mods and good wheels. This is my own 03.
