Welcome and nice ride! You are lucky to have it at 19. I got mine when I was 22.

Congrats on your first Vette! Took me 40 more years than you but I finally got my first one last year. Hope you are as happy with yours as I am with mine.

Heck, at 19, I couldn't afford the insurance on a Corvette, let alone the Corvette.

Even at the stock level , the C5Z has great power.

Have fun and be safe!

And with great power comes great respopnsibility

Congrats on the new 'vette.

Damn, can't imagine having a C5 Corvette when I was 19. I really, REALLY, doubt I'd have made 20. Was driving a sweet '68 2-door Buick LeSabre when I was 19. Would kill to have that car back.
