MY 1st CORVETTE
I am a new member and after aabout a year of research and looking the wait is over. I pruchased my first corvette last Friday, 6-16-2006.Its a 1999 Navy blue mettalic coupe with, Vararam cold air system, Granitelli mass air flow sensor, B&M short throw shifter and Corsa exhaust system. It only had 9,440 miles original miles on it when I picked it up.
Been driving it so much since then that I have not had time to login and tell you all about it. It is also hard to wipe the silly smile off my face.
I never driven such an awsome car in my life. It still pulls hard right on thru fifth gear. These cars are truly amazing.
