New Vette Owner!!
Well, I have officially joined the Corvette community with my very own Corvette. My parents have owned a '73 Stingray since before I was born, so I was born to love em I guess!
Anyways, I had a chance to move forward from my last car, which was a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4. The car made 416whp/392wtq and ran 11.88@118 on pump gas. So, the change from a turbo car to an N/A car was quite a change, but I was ready! So, at the end of May, I picked up an 2000 AW FRC. Bone stock with 67K miles, since I've had it, I've lowered it a tad bit, and put a Magnaflow catback on it.
Here's some pictures of it...hope you all enjoy!
