Default Hello

Hello all,
I've been lurking for a while and thought I would introduce myself. Unfortunately, I do not own a Corvette but I will be in the market this summer. Currently I drive an 04 GTP (supercharged) and it is an okay car. Pretty quick for a big four door. I have a few mods-engine and suspension. My problem is that front wheel drive is for tricycles so I need some rwd love!
Thanks for all of the info on this site. Seems like a good community here; I spent a lot of time at gp-owners.com due to the GTP. I promise not to post much until the purchase is made!
I live in Edmonton, Canada and plan to but a C5 in the states as the price of used vettes in Canada is stupid-seriously stupid! I will be looking for help when I have the cash in my hands!

Thanks Ed...I was begining to think it wasn't so cool to sign up before I get the Vette. I am hoping for some purchase advice when the time comes...since I will be buying a car from across the continent

Welcome 04 Rooster from another Canuck. You're right when you say Vettes up here are an arm & leg. We should start an import business. I belong to the Northern Alberta Corvette Owners Club. A great bunch of folk there. As said, feel free to post and when you're ready for the Vette you got enough knowledge on this Forum.
