I have a 1999 corvette so i am told, due to when it was purchased i guess, but on the car itself it has 1998 on the sticker,if i am buying replacement belts would i purchase for a 1998 or 1999.

 

Is it going to be me or someone else.....I'll take the high road, someone else.

 

Check your VIN - - that will tell you what year you have- the tenth digit sill be either an 8 or 9:
