New guy checking in
Hi everyone. The the snow if falling so it is time to spend more time on the compter and less in the new toy. First time corvette owner and I love all generations, but have a soft spot for the c4. Seems like a good group here so I must be i the right place. 
Now for the good stuff:
1996 Grand Sport
DRM480 Package
Shorty Headers
Flowmaster Exhaust
3.73 Gears
Very happy with the car, it's unlike anything I've ever driven or ridden in before. She's a gem and the performance is unreal That being said I've never been one to leave well enough alone so changes are sure to come $$$$.

Bounty. Only the best for my car. I don't know how the thread ended, but some were talking about putting carpet under the tires for the winter months. I have heard that somewhere else as well so I decided to try it. I took the pictures right before it got covered up for the season. We'll see what happens. Can't hurt I suppose.

You're first vette and it's a GS...nice
Had I known then what I know now one of those would be in my garage instead of my 94. I do love mine but the first time I actually saw a GS in person was this past Cruise to the Woods and I'm hooked on them. Maybe someday........

p.s. How many miles on her??

Believe it or not Vette's don't melt in the snow. I drove my '93 up to when it was sold with 260+ K miles on the odo. I enjoyed driving it more than looking at it.
Nice GS incidentally.

Very nice, verrry nice.
And if you have any questions about what DRM did or what you can do to complement what they did, you can catch Randy@DRM mostly over in the autox and roadrace section. Great guy and they still love the C4 over there at DRM, no reason to hesitate contacting him.
