Default Water under my vette

I've only had my 96 for about a month and have noticed that whenever I shut the engine down I accumulate a large amount of water under the engine. I put a cup under it and it is water, not antifreeze. I measured about a cup and a half one time. Is this normal? :confused:

if its just plain water its most likely the condensation from your A/C
if you are using your A/C before you turn your car off and you see water more towards the passenger side then yes that is condensation from your A/C and yes it is normal.

I even like the SC licence plate saying, "Nothing could be finer." On a Vette, no truer words have been spoken, and it even matches my Vette. When ya comin down?
