Thanks guys,

This car feels insane even basically stock...... I just can't imagine 300 or more added horsepower .

I'm gonna have to start looking for more corvette events in VA so me and my dad can go with our cars. I never thought I'd get this car so soon and it's been a blast, can't help but smile when I'm driving it.
