Yet another newbie
Hello everyone. I am the proud new owner of a 97 Corvette
. I've spent the last 5 or 6 years over at 3000GT forum(3si.org). I still have my 2VR4's(92 &99) so I didn't abandon that platform, just expanding to a new one. Seems quite a few people there have defected to the Corvette. I noticed Deft on here already. I hope he is as helpful here as he was on 3si.
This is the first Corvette I have owned and as a matter of fact, I think it is the only vette I have ever driven. So far it has been great! I don't have a plan for mods yet, but I am looking forward to doing some.
I'm also looking forward to chatting with all of you and learning more about these cars. Anyone in the Alxandria VA, area- don;t be a stranger.
Here are a few pics:

18s and 19s. They were on it when I bought it.
I figured most were performance enthusiasts. I'd be more than happy to post pics. I love my VR4s! The black 92 is BPU and the 99 is stock other than the hood and fenders. I'm not a fan of the factory wing on the 99 but it is a rare car so I leave it on. I plan to add 15g turbos along with supporting mods eventually.
