Just bought my first C3!!!!!
I bought my first Corvette 6 years ago when I got my 64 roadster.
Now I get to put this beauty right next to it. I'm thrilled that I talked the wife into it!!!

Wow kudos to you. I'm also in the market I currently have a c5z. And am debating on a c2 or c3. I would prefer a c2 but I really only have 40-45 to spend (not nearly enough for a c2). So I'm leaning towards the c3. Since I have an itch to get something now. How do u like the c3? Any advise to give

I don't pick her up for a few more weeks.
Can't go wrong with either one. You can get in a lot cheaper on the C3 than the C2, but you can get a really nice C2 for your budget. Just keep looking.

The miniram is really nice. Strong power at high speeds.
I had an 89 TPI with long runners prior to the miniram. I lost low end torque with the miniram, but picked up mid range power up the rpm curve. The TPI seemed to choke out around 5000 rpm. Not the Miniram.
Depending on how the C3 runs, I'm thinking about putting the TPI on it.?????
