As stated in the title...New member, and new, 1st time Corvette owner 
! I have been surfing this forum for a few weeks doing some research before purchasing my Corvette. I am a previous B-body owner of a modestly modded 1995 Impala SS (gonna miss her), which I traded-in on and bought a clean 1997 C5 Coupe, Black on Black with A4 (I'm one of those who like automatics instead of manuals). Any way's I look forward to conversing with you all and learning about & modding the C5 Corvette through this forum. With that said you know how "us" newb's are 
! A pic of the C5 is below. By the way...HELLO &
