4.10's at 75-80 should still only be about 2250rpm or so...it least it was in my T/A. Not bad at all.
Congrats!

congrats and be careful. I got my first vette (2002 z06) just after my 23rd b-day so i kinda know how you feel. Be smart and dont make us young vette owners look bad. if you pull up to a car and he wants to race, dont do it..... unless its a mustang, lol.

Nice ride. Just got my first C5, a '99 coupe, but waited 30 more years then you. If I had a C5 at age 18, strongly doubt I'd have made it to 19!
