Congrats on buying your first Corvette, Taz !

It was an honor to go on the test drive with you. I know you will love the 35th Anni Coupe. The Forum is a great place to learn about you C4 and also a dangerous place to come empty your wallet (mods, mods, mods).

See ya Sunday at Vettes at the Beach!

Enjoy the ride

Congratulations and welcome to the Forum!!

You'll love the anniversary edition. Member "65Z01" is a regular on the forum and also has a 35 Anniversary Edition (I think)....he's a great guy and is VERY VERY knowledgeable about these cars!!

Great choice. If you attend Corvettes at Carlisle in August you will be able to park with several other 35ths and get an amazing amount of info on the car.
