My 1st Vette!!
Well I finally got my first Chevrolet Corvette. I've been waiting to get this car since I was probably 5-years old. She's a 2002 with a 6-speed tranny, black interior and had only 8,400 miles on it (I picked it up in Ohio and drove it to NJ). I originally was going to get a 2000 or 2001 but held out for a 2002 or newer because of this website! (2001 oil burning problems and 2000 5 less HP and 25 less lb-ft of torque). It was an absolute dream to drive her home. I've only owned it for 3-days and I drove it over 700 miles already! I live close to E-town and will be taking her there as soon as the park opens in the spring. Here's a couple of pics..........

Congrats, welcome to the family and enjoy.
This is the greatest forum with the greatest people and of course the greatest American car to be built.

Thanks for all the welcomes!!
I live about 20-30 minutes from Englishtown Raceway Park. I grew up about 2-miles from the Park.
I've made over 100 passes in my 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII and got her down to 14.3@97MPH.
It still hasn't sunk in that I really own this Vette!!!
