Welcome to the greatest forum around. Loads of great info and more than enough encouragement to get all the money out of your pocket. Miles of smiles. And you now must wave at all other Vettes on the road. It's the tradition around here.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on the Vette!
The 6 speed Corvette is a great way to learn to drive a stick. You'll love it.
The two best performance mods for the C5 is a performance intake such as the Donaldson Blackwing or Halltech Stinger and a cat back exhaust system like the Borla Stingers.
