Kudos to you on another fine build.
Thanks Aaron. I think you nailed it. Most of us have had loud cars, and as you get older it's nice to drive something that has good power but doesn't make a bunch of noise. My 91 is pretty loud, it's really probably more a race car than street car. It's fun but it wears on me to drive it for any longer distances .Maybe that and it has a spool and no power steering adds to it. Maybe I'm getting old!

We are not old, just much wiser these days.

Much like you, this is why I enjoy driving the large cube C6TT. The turbos make the car fairly quiet, but still has plenty of power.

You have done a fine job with this 93 anniversary edition. And I would expect nothing less from any of your builds. It should be a fun daily driver type Corvette. Tremendous respect!
