Default My first Corvette

Hello Everyone, I have recently purchased my first of many (Hopefully) corvettes. It's a 1996 Auto convertible. I traded in my 02 Trans Am to get it, but I am loving every min of it!

I would put up some pics, but my host is down right now, maybe tomarrow.

Congratulations on your new 'Vette. Just out of curiousity; how does it compare to your TA? I would expect that the TA with the LS1 might be quicker?
