That is a different desire - not many want to raise the car up past stock height. I wonder how it would affect the handling of the car?

I doubt it would be a positive effect....unless it was being done to compensate for the additional weight of a big stereo, etc. Then again, maybe the early 70s "Pro Stock" look is making a come back. Shades of "Grumpy" Bill Jenkins' first ZL-1 Camaro.....

Funny you say that, my car ('04) has had it's ride height readjusted to stock after I changed suspension, and it does have a touch of rake STOCK! And the 'Vette and it's body style does remind me of a funny car at certain angles. One of the things I like about it that make it look unique!

Like I said, it's good you're doing your homework now before you even have a car.

Well, if it helps I wanted one when I was 14, My dad got his when I was 16 (then I wanted it even more) and now I'm 21 and I got mine...
Now he's getting a 427... (I can't keep up)
Just work hard and save your pennies!!

You will be good at ripping on others with your early start on the forum
Start taking notes so you could
put the hammer back down on others.

Sounds good.......but it might be impossible. There are so many acronyms I have to learn, and definitions, slangs, numbers.....it almost feels as if im in a University class just being here!

Lets not be arrogant old farts here and show a little tolerance. I wish there was a place like the Corvette Forum when I was 13. I had to make do with magazines and fantasize about what it would be like to own and drive my dream car. We present an opportunity for him to ask question and interact with Corvette owners - nothing like that when I was a kid. I was too shy to walk up to a guy in a parking lot standing next to his Vette and start asking questions. That's the opportunity that we can give Joel.
Joel - if you have questions, feel free to PM me anytime and I will be happy to answer them, even if you think it's a stupid question.....there are none.
