Welcome aboard and congrats on your beautiful new ride! '99 is a good year 
Mine has been WONDERFUL. I'm sure you'll be VERY happy. Congrats on owning a true piece of American 'culture'.... ya got more than just an awesome car, but all of the wonderful history and the community that goes along with it! Enjoy!
P.S. Don't worry about the AUTO thing... that's fine (mine is). Just keep it in '3' instead of 'D' around town (sub-highway speeds). Helps a bit. hehe

I'll make you a deal. I have a 1998 Torch Red coupe with 55,000 miles on it. I'll trade you even up then you can mod away. My is a 6-speed so that should make up the price difference between the 2. The only mods I've made are a Hurst shifter and a cold air intake.

You have a CORVETTE! (...and its a different world)
Start saving for a nice 7L aluminum block right now. By the time the cash is there, you'll know what other pieces you'll need....
You're in the big-time now, playing with the big boys, runnin' with the big dogs......until you start dropping amounts in the 5-digits, you won't even want to lift the hood around most of these guys.
Seriously.
