Default Another new owner

After many months of searching, finally found the exact Corvette I was looking for, a '96 Collector Edition roadster, with the LT4 motor, and Torch Red interior. A one owner car with 6400 miles. Have had it about a month and just enjoying it like crazy. The car is fast, tight and pretty much immaculate. Had to sell my '70 Olds 442 W30 to make this work, but so far no regrets. This is my first Corvette, and it is quite a car. Just found this great website and am really enjoying all the information and features!
