Default starting problems

hello everyone, my baby seems to be having starting problems. in the morning when i try to start it, it will take me about 5 or 6 times to get it to turn over. when i turn the key it does nothing & then after about the 6th try it starts right up. i had my voltage checked by my mechanic and it was fine which leaves me to believe it might be the starter. of course when i took it to my mechanic it started up everytime for him. so he couldnt really check if it was the starter or not. does anyone have any suggestions?? does it sound like it might be time for a new starter??

Get a VATS by pass from Corvette Central.
The code for the vats is on the vats module. You'll need the code for the right by-pass. The by-pass simply plugs in.
Also try the spare key, or gently clean the key with 000 steel wool.
