I bought my first vette
Well i stepped up to the corvette after being a mustang fan for years. Man am i glad i made the change, these cars are sweet. After researching this forum i found out alot i didn't know about the corvette aand ls1. These motors are amazing. Just thought i'd say thanks for all the great info i have been reading for the past month. Already did the column lock bypass, thermostat, and had the front end apart to raise it back up, original owner had it slammed to the ground so low you couldn't even go over a bump.

Mustangs are fine cars but a Vette is a very fine sportscar! Welcome to the world of the perma-grin!
