New to the Forum, and corvettes...
just wanted to say whats up and introduce myself.
i live in honolulu hawaii. ive been racing a 94 mustang for the last few years at our only race track, which recently closed. (it ran low 13's/high 12's). but we on oahu are now SOL when it comes to racing, with no new track insight.
i cant street drive the mustang, cause it pretty much purpose built. so i decided to get a fast street car. picked up an 85. needs new tires and a paint job but other than that everything works pretty well.
luckily the SCCA and Super Laps guys made a deal with our stadium so im thinking of getting into that with this vette.
well thats about it. i like the site, and am glad its here cause im probably gonna have alot of questions.

Just a note, your front wheels are on backwards. If you look on the inside of the rim, it will tell you where the wheel goes.

Welcome. I started with the same era Vette. What a gas!!! In my case this forum provides more knowledge than I can tap. I believe you'll be surprised at the knowledge, and willingness to help.
Aside from some cosmetics it looks in pretty good shape. Lots of fun coming. Enjoy the ride.
