Congrats, sounds like nice car. 74k isn't many miles on a 200k motor. Welcome to the forum and don't forget to wave.

Congrats ...and welcome to the Forum!

Also, you might want to check out the Southeast regional forum. The folks there may be able to help you with a tuner and Corvette club in your area.

Good luck.
