Enthusiasts in AZ
I'm preparing to buy my first corvette within the next 6 months. I've settled on an 02 or 03 z06. Curious to hear from any owners and enthusiast in AZ, Tucson specifically. Any clubs that take prospective buyers as members? I'd just really like to be able to immerse myself, gather good info and meet some good people.
Looking forward to hear from some locals!

Dylan - There is a 'group', that doesn't consider themselves a club, that is quite active in the Valley that you might want to check out. They've been to the annual Corvette Show in Prescott every year.
It's called ACES...http://www.arizonacorvetteenthusiast...ex.php?act=idx

"ACEholes" are primarily in the greater Phoenix area, but have several members scattered all over AZ (such as myself 200 miles outside Phoenix).
That being said, don't focus on the clubs or group as much as your desire to fulfill a dream. Get the Vette you've always dreamed of and build your own brotherhood from meeting other Corvette or car enthusiasts on the road, at the car shows, etc.
ACE also has a good forum website to join. It's free. Look up:
Arizona Corvette Enthusiasts.
ACE also has a great BBQ once a year in Gila Bend that gets bigger and bigger every year. The last time I attended, there may have been 100+ Corvettes and approximately 150 people. A great time.
Congrats and enjoy!!
ps....When you do finally get your Z, let me know. I'll drive up from Sierra Vista and we can go cruise up Mount Lemmon for your first bonding ride or, head out to Scottsdale Pavillions for their monthly unofficial Car Show on a "Corvette Saturday".

Thanks for the link! I read the site and it sounds like you guys are well organized and well established. I read the by-laws on membership and I see I'd qualify as an associate member now, pending a sponsor picked me up. Could I still attend a meeting just to chat and meet some owners? Gather info and see whats it all about.
