Default Hello

Hi all!

Recently picked up a Artic White '94 coupe, 6 spd. 1st vette for me.
I've had interest in the late model c4's since I graduated H.S. (1992). Just love the look of it. I hope to do a few performance mods in the near future and I hope to get to at least one corvette function before the end of summer.

A little about me. My name's Jason, I live in Greenfield, WI with my wife Jenn and 2 boys (6 & 8mo). With my hobby and the kids my life is definitly not boring!
I support the usa ... The fun car is the corvette, I have a project car a '70 Mustang (built 302 with nitrous), and the wife and I both drive Chrysler's for our daily drivers. She has a Pacifica and I have a pt cruiser.

Hope to get better aquainted here!

302 bored to 312, forged internals, 500 lift comp cam, weiand intake, holley 600, c4 auto with shift kit, 9" rear with 3.89's. Might be few more things I'm forgetting about but that's what I can think of right now.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

...now, you have two project cars. Can you handle it?

Welcome to the world of Corvettes. For many of us, it is not just a car, it is truly a different way of life and of looking at life.
I hope you enjoy it here; the CorvetteForum is a big part of the experience. Try to hook up with other CF members who live close to you. You'll be glad you did; they will be a tremendous asset.

Welcome aboard.

Good choice for your first Vette. I think you'll love the 6-speed.

Judging by the Mustang, it looks like you know how to build a car. It'll be fun to see what you do with the Vette.
