Default awesome car

ive just got back from driving and after 2 years of ownership i still love it , wide, low and rapid . i get a buzz everytime i walk back to it when ever ive parked somewhere. Had a bit of cat and mouse on the track with a mate who has a 700hp holden ute and he just couldnt get passed me or vise versa lose me. i am very impressed

From one WetteVette to another wettvette, I'm glad you're still enjoying your car. I've had mine almost a year and the grin hasn't changed a bit!

Wow... I didn't realize that handle's on the Corvette Forum were case sensitive. I will be on the look out for "z06ster"

Indeed, these cars don't get old or boring. I have had mine for 16 months and every opportunity to drive from the littlest errand to the store puts a big smile on my face.

Well, it's working now. Thanks to "80's Rule!"

I now have GM Z06 chrome wheel and BSM'S. This was made before any mod's. Have to wait until the grass is green again and update the photo.

I will have mine 8 years next April. I keep thinking about a new one, but can't imagine not having it. Don't have room for another, and don't want a new one quite bad enough to give up the C5.
