New Corvette owner
Well I made a huge jump from owning turbo imports to buying a corvette, and im loving it! I recently bought a 1999 red corvette c5, its auto and i dont intend to let that stop my plans for speed! I just wanted to say high to all the fellow corvette owners and everyone on the forum. Here are some pics of the car *Yes they are very crappy pics but if u live in chicago or surrounding suburbs, you'll know why i couldnt take the car outside 
almost 8 inches of snow already...*
And here are some pics of my previous car....i miss it, but once i can drive the vette again, i think i can get over it.

thanks for the nice words..........i feel sooo welcome !!!! Yes the vr4 was very good to me, i also had a boosted integra gsr and a Supra, but it was time to try something different.... My goal is to have the vette in solid 11's and still a daily driver. I am deciding between the vararam and the blackwing for my first mod....dont kno which one i should get, any help would be great since this is my first domestic car. I have been researching a lot lately

Those mitsu's are nice, my kid has one, but one thing you'll find out is the Vette is much easier to work on. Congrats and welcome

Congrats on the Vette - I can certainly understand why you have it tucked nice and safe in the garage. Welcome to the forum - you can get tons of good information on the car and mods for it here.

Welcome to the forum!! Dont forget to wave! 
As far as blackwing vs. vararam...I guess I went with the blackwing incase I get caught in a monsoon down here in FL, less chance to suck up water with the blackwing. But at speed the vararam is supposed to make more power...
