Welcome Ian, keep saving that money. I gave a ride today to a kid that was around your age, though he looked a lot older. I had to go to a funeral ( which was a terrible tragedy, one of my friends passed way too young ) and one of the cousins of the deceased wanted to ride in my car. I think he enjoyed it, i remember being that age and my dad took me for a ride in a vette he was considering buying and it was the coolest thing ever. No matter what age you are your never too young or too old to appreciate a Vette. Keep on with your dream and someday you will fulfill it just like the rest of us did.

Or a supra pulling 1000+ hp with a GM Powerglide 2 speed auto trans(w00t). Ever since I saw Markovich duroji's White supra, I was in love with em. He was running about 1520 rwhp with 35 PSI I believe.

Besides, someone from this generation has to keep the passion of American Muscle alive ...fricken evo's and civics. Evo's can get quite nice though

Welcome, you are in the right place to learn about Corvettes.
Check the posts in all the forums and if you have a question -- ask it. There are some very smart Corvette specialists in this group. To bad I'm not one of them. [:0)
