I just recently got my first Corvette, an 1996 with an LT1. I really do not know too much about it, such as capabilities and even any lingo. Just wanted to get basic knowledge, also my father is JAKE.

yea my father is JAKE from Texas, and about the uncle sam part. He is the one who pays me (Army, West Point). Plan on learning as much as i can about getting more horsepower, naturally, and when i get my 30k advanced pay on my 3rd year was thinking about supercharger, new heads, etc..

You have come to the right place for any questions you have about your Vette. Oh, welcome. One word of caution: We can help you spend more money on your Vette than Uncle Sam can print.

Welcome, it is freindly, helpful and very addictive in here...Many also come down with a computer spread virus called Mod Fever... watch for the signs... there is no anti-viral program to stop it ...

Don't worry it doesn't affect your computer, it just affects you , your wallet and your bank account...

remember to wave...

Welcome!

If your dad is "JAKE", who posts here on the CF, I imagine he could learn ya' real good on the C4. I'd be talking to him as well as hangin' out here.

Enjoy that '96.
