Welcome aboard.........you will learn very quickly here all things 'Vette (even when we are wrong...).

All kidding aside (like THAT is ever going to happen here...)....there are some members here who, when they chime in with an opinion -- everyone else knows that a true guru has spoken.....I've learned more about the car here than I thought possible.

Welcome and congratulations. there is no better place to learn than here. the downside is it will probably cause you to pull out your credit card way to often as you decide to start the mods.

Welcome to the forum. Be careful this place can become addicting.
If you ever get a free weekend in Vegas come and join our friendly group. Here's a link that explains what we are all about. You will find that we aren't your ordinary corvette club.
