Default Another Houston guy here!!

Just had to register at this board...lots of good info and everyone seems pretty cool....I also noticed that a lot of u guys are from Houston too! well, to answer the big question, no, i don't have a vette, but I probably know more about them, inside and out, than a lot of the guys who do own them, so please don't hold that against me! :D although my mechanics background isn't in vettes (it's in imports actually), an engine is an engine, and they both serve the same gerneral purpose. And with that in mind, i'll try to contribute my knowledge in vehicle and engine dynamics as much as possible, as well as learn a lot the nooks and crannies of the vettes from u guys.... well, happy racing guys and see ya around the forum!!

Well, I like the quote in your sig. No kidding!

So I think I get it....it is like "one quick ashtray" if someone is a heavy smoker eh?

Welcome to Houston, welcome to the C5 forum. Make sure you check in the Southwest Upcoming Events section to look for Houston area events. Anything we can do to help you get behind the wheel of a C5, let us know.
